Spying?

Incidentally, Piers Morgan is not a US Citizen.
I'd like to volunteer his services to be spied on by the US Government, and hopefully he can receive a bonus follow-up waterboarding. All perfectly legal.

Don't get hung up on the politics.
Okay, who are you and what have you done with Jolly???
There are some things that are above politics. If we can't agree on this, piss on the campfire and call the dogs, it's over.

Conservative journalists getting spied on, for example.
Sod off.
Truly and sincerely. It's a serious issue, and it deserves serious consideration.

I completely agree. I thought it was a serious issue back when Snowden and that creepy Australian were the news story, too.
However, it's nothing new.

NSA denies it. Who has the next move?
They deny targeting him. Not that they have his emails.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Shouldn’t he get Fox onboard as a first step?
No idea.
But the annotations on the so-called "denial" are pretty lawyerly, aren't they?
Again, the only thing they explicitly deny is him being an "intelligence target."
Hmmm....I wonder if NSA has other kinds of "targets?"
My limited understanding is that anytime someone, say even an ambassador makes contact with a foreign entity of interest a masked entry occurs. Unmasking to the public is illegal. So the question if TuCa’s allegation is true is that the NSA intnentionally unmasked him..or someone with access leaked it. So maybe NSA has to find the leak or TuCa would know he was targeted by virtue of contacting Putin and is making shit up.
His employer should support him, why are they quiet??

Unmasking to the public is illegal.
Is unmasking to other members of the NSA illegal? I don't know.
However, it was revealed that various members of the incoming Trump administration were unmasked as well. How did that become public? Through a FOIA? Again, I don't know.
I can't speak to the reticence of Fox to involve themselves.

I think Fox may be onboard, or they wouldn't have let him run with the story the way he has.
Just my opinion, but it seems pretty straightforward...TC tries to get an interview with Putin. NSA rightly takes a look at the email to verify nothing nefarious is happening.
TC is identified as Subject #1 or whatever terminology NSA uses to mask a citizen's identity. The emails probably get kicked to an analyst's desk and then to somebody in a supervisory role. If it's determined Subject #1 needs more intensive surveillance, the NSA can go to the FISA court and get permission to do so.
What has happened, is that TC's email did not rise to anywhere near FISA court level stuff, but somebody decided to unmask him and then leak the fact he was communicating with Putin, in order to try to cause negative consequences.
The somebody is really important to know.

Wasn't that revealed through the Carter Page investigations by Mueller and Horowitz?
Regardless, Page's lawsuit against the FBI and Justice Department is still on-going, methinks.
