There’s an interesting aspect to an Andrew Weissmann statement on MSNBC that almost everyone is missing. Before watching the brief excerpt, let me put the comments into context. Remember, the Intelligence Branch uses intelligence silos to protect themselves; however, the Intelligence Branch also violates those silos when ever they want.
First, Andrew Weissmann comes from the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). More specifically, in that division Andrew Weissmann was in charge of the section that used FARA (Foreign Agent Registration Act), or FARA-951 as a weapon against their political enemies.
The only targets Weissmann ever selected for FARA investigations were political opposition. You might also remember it was Weissmann who led the Mueller team, and in that position Weissmann went after every target (Flynn, Rafiekian, Manafort, Papadopoulos, Phares, even Rudy Guiliani etc.) with accusations of FARA violations.
Second, the DOJ-NSD had no inspector general oversight.
During the Obama administration the DOJ-NSD exempted themselves from DOJ Inspector General review. In 2015 the Office of the Inspect General (OIG) requested oversight and it was Deputy AG Sally Yates who responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation saying, essentially, ‘nope – not allowed.’ (PDF HERE) All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD.
There is a very specific reason for this intentional avoidance of oversight as we found out through the Carter Page FISA warrant. The DOJ-NSD is the weaponized mechanism against domestic political opposition inside the DOJ. [Sidebar: I would not be surprised to find out the DOJ-NSD operatives used their FARA authorities to control and threaten political opposition around Washington DC, using lobbying investigations as leverage/blackmail.]
As the current story is told a whistleblower in the intelligence community told Tucker Carlson his communication was intercepted by the NSA. By the NSA originating standard, the same standard they claim to uphold publicly, the NSA has a foreign intelligence mission; and their data collection is supposed to be in a silo related to foreign intelligence gathering. If an American is picked up ‘incidentally‘ by the NSA collection, that information is supposed to remain inside that silo.
However, as you watch this MSNBC segment, notice how casually Andrew Weissmann says that Tucker Carlson should have gone to the DOJ (Main Justice) with any concerns about his communication being intercepted by the NSA. Listen carefully to how Weissmann frames what Carlson “should have done” (prompted):
https://youtu.be/_SRQAmTR-f8?t=37
.
We have talked about this quite a bit and I’m sure you can see why this explanation from Weissmann is problematic, yet at the same time it highlights his reference point.
Why would Tucker Carlson go to the DOJ?
Why would the DOJ have access to an ‘incidental‘ NSA intercept of Tucker Carlson?
The NSA has a foreign intelligence mission (silo), and the DOJ has a domestic federal law enforcement mission (silo).
Why would Tucker Carlson go to the DOJ to inquire about an incidental intercept, and/or unmasking of that intercept, when the person who informed Carlson said nothing about the DOJ…. exposing only that the NSA had intercepted his electronic communication?
Why would the DOJ have access to that NSA intercept?
Where exactly is this bridge between the NSA intercepts and the DOJ review of these intercepts?
Who operates the bridge between the NSA database and the DOJ?
What legal authorities guide the DOJ having random access to the NSA database?…
… and How exactly did the DOJ gain the legal authority that Andrew Weissmann is describing Carlson should inquire about?
In essence, what this segment reveals is Andrew Weissmann being so comfortable and casual with his reference point from time and experience inside the DOJ-NSD, that he doesn’t even realize what he is saying so matter-of-factly is something that is not supposed to take place.
The DOJ (or DOJ-NSD) is not supposed to have simple access to the NSA database without a reason for it. Or without a contact from the NSA with a directive to review an intercept because it might involve unlawful activity.
The DOJ-NSD personnel are not supposed to be randomly data-mining the NSA database just to see if they can find some issue they would be under the authority to investigate. Yet this frame of reference is exactly the casual nature of Weissmann’s diatribe.
If the NSA database is so easily searched by any domestic law enforcement agency, FBI or DOJ, then what exactly is the difference between the DOJ sucking up all the communication of Americans (brutally obvious 4th amendment violations) and the NSA capturing it? Under the process Weissmann seems so casual about, the DOJ apparently has full unlimited access to everything the NSA captures.
This is not supposed to be happening. However, that is also likely why the DOJ-NSD under President Obama refused to have any oversight. That’s why I said Andrew Weissmann is saying the quiet part out loud.
Yes, I know there is ample evidence for this random domestic data-mining process I have just stated. As we have seen from reports summarized by the FISA court, this random searching of the NSA database is apparently commonplace.
Just because we know the DOJ and FBI exploit an unlawful process for unfettered access to the electronic communication of every single American, doesn’t mean we should just sit back and accept it.
Weissmann could not be more discredited if he Toobined himself on camera. He led an investigation against a sitting president and all it produced was FBI misconduct. He should be sharing a cell with Michael Avenatti. He makes it sound as if conservatives still have access and recourse to the legal system.
Excellent.
The man’s crimes are legend. That he is still walking the streets a free man is a crime in and of itself.
Exactly. Great summation of this awful, arrogant man.
Smug, too. He thinks he’s protected – and he’s correct.
Jesse K. Liu’s decision to allow McCabe to walk resulted in her firing, but the DOJ didn’t change it. Weissmann’s attitude might seem to be smug, but he knows that he’s untouchable based on his work on the Mueller team. Service to the cause is always rewarded, just ask Avenatti.
Sundance has once again done a magnificent job of putting all the pieces together. It would seem the unnamed government agency with private contractor access to the NSA files through the FBI terminals would be the DOJ NSD.
Bravo. That is unbridled talent. All the pieces fit.
Obama needed a super secret silo. One step away from prosecution of political enemies. It was this division that Admiral Rodgers uncovered. The subsequent coverups and Muller were to further bury the truth.
Throwing the election and going after Trump was to place Trump from ever being a threat to what Obama had done to gain control of the USA. The quiet insurrection of our government from the inside.
Truly, it all fits.
Obama got his NSA workaround.

In another time such a an attack would be met with shot and shell, but we are now led by women who seek compromise and deference.
Weissman is not a woman. And hullary Clinton is hardly an example of deference and compromise. She comes, sees and people die.
You are distracted by bodies, Dan Patterson. Look at character instead of genitalia
Those who seek compromise in the face of an attack display the characteristics common to the female brain without regard to external or internal genitalia. The character of those without honor and with no sense of duty is not worth an examination.
The majority of elected officials and upper echelon of DS, including all military branches, and executive, legislative branches, for the last thirty years has been men. Not only not buying your underlying premises, but it doesn’t pan out in real time.
I should have said “women and the men who fear them”.
LOL!
Feinstein, Piglosi, Lisa M (AK), etc
Most repud males can classifies as wimin!
I identify as a female and I agree. However, ever see those fights at restaurants or airports: mostly females involved in the physical altercations. No shots or shells but plenty of violence none-the-less.
What are you saying. I think the real issue is how many have been paid off and/or black mailed. Saying that they are women are denigrating the woman who are true patriots.
We are led by women and children because men failed to be men. We failed to manage our families and our country. Women and freaks are not the problem- they are a symptom to a problem. Men need to get back to the day when we showed strong, selfless Godly character, managed our women and children, took responsibility for our acts and the consequences thereof- and fixed things. We also need to tell some people to shut up. We have given voices to imbeciles and morons. This must also stop.
I think you are mistaken and women have nothing to do with it. I see the problem at this juncture being that we are being led as a country by people who have been compromised.
Once our leaders are confronted with the fact that they have something to hide, they are owned and controlled.
We are all humans and fall short of perfection. With Obama in control of the database, he can find the weakness and exploit that weakness.
How did 100 Senators violate their oath of office by holding an illegal, unconstitutional second impeachment of private citizen Trump?
Oh the irony of 100 Senators overthrowing the government to hold trial against Trump of the accusation he tried to overthrow government!
What threat(s) was used against our elected officials in order to achieve this? Control of the NSA database and media + social media = our government.
Weissmann is pure evil.
If I could pick one D.C. swamp creature to “Dangle”, Weissman might just top my list.
Snowden is a hero!
And Assange.
I heard this but admittedly no evidence to support it. Snowden was on a job in China and realized he was going to be the fall guy in the operation so he decided to take another route to escape being held in China. I doubt there are many honorable employees with NSA.
Weissman should have a White House presence.
On a pike, as a criminal and traitor.
And people think we Americans are free with protection from that pesky thing called the constitution
The MO of the leftists infecting our nation is to simply ignore the US Constitution which they consider illegitimate and racist.
And NOBODY in the Rep. Party is doing a damn thing about it
Maybe it’s time we as private people, should put forward the process of checking if they have our own personal and private information through FOIA, all you need are the forms and you can file on your own behalf.
Think of it as a warrant, be specific, not public domain stuff, private texts, emails, etc, etc.
Would you *really* think that would be allowed?
They will come up with any and every bureaucratic method to stall, deflect, and dissuade those from knowing the extent of what they do have.
And, that is before they would invoke execeptions allowed under FOIA.
Two words make me think they wouldn’t give us any info they had: Sharyl Attkisson.
And— may God bless courageous Sharyl Atkisson..
Just like in other cases when people have attempted this they will charge you thousands of dollars to process that FOIA

Tucker “wanted to use this for his own purposes and sow distrust, which is so anti-American” says Weissmann. Well, Tucker’s emails were leaked and a whistleblower told him he was being spied on Andrew. Not too American of the NSA guys. By the way, when did prosecutoral misconduct, which seems to be your specialty, become acceptable to the American Bar association?
Weissmann is such a crook. He does not even know how corrupt he has become. No one likes you Andrew, not even your paymasters.
Herr Weissmann is saying why would TC think and say such things, Everybody knows little corrupt facists like Herr Weissmann are pillars of virtue.
They are coming door to door to enforce vaccines and the discussion is about Tucker the actor for Fox who was losing viewers equalling money aka big Pharma ad revenue.
We have known for years everyone, including all of us, is unmasked and spied upon. Weissman is a POS. Tucker’s Dad is about as deep state as it gets.
Do people realize because of the state of emergency declared by President Trump, who did very well for us for 3 years, enabled all of this freaking crap taking place to happen? All of the Governor over reach, all of the masks, all of this election stealing (super bad lawyer representation by the way) and now door to door vaccine patrol.
The corruption is everywhere. They are about to put regional Capital Police around the country. I called my governor 1st thing in the morning after the announcement, who else did?
And we are discussing Tucker. On Fox. Fox lawyers argued in court that nobody should have the expectation of news because Fox is in the entertainment industry.
And certainly nobody trusts that loathsome POS, especially his handlers.
Tucker is controlled opposition. This is intended to give him credibility so we’ll hang on his every word.
It’s a ruse. They’re yanking our chain.
They very well might be yanking our collective chains.
Nonetheless — that does not change facts: Tucker, like every other citizen, has been illegally spied on; and the spying agencies are WAY out control.
I don’t think Andrew meant to accidentally tell the truth about how widespread spying on Americans is in the DOJ. If you have a good lawyer question him under oath it is the type of statement he could not wiggle out of, especially since he is a lawyer himself.
However, there would have to be a real punishment for perjury ala Roger Stone, not the pay off Comey, Clapper, Fauci and friends get when they lie.
He (and others – Barr, etc) just blow with the wind.
“In essence, what this segment reveals is Andrew Weissmann being so comfortable and casual with his reference point from time and experience inside the DOJ-NSD, that he doesn’t even realize what he is saying so matter-of-factly is something that is not supposed to take place.”
I keep saying, these guys really aren’t as smart as they think they are, or are given credit for. He doesn’t have the first inkling of a clue that he just gave the game away.
“Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges. I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ badges!”
Actually, they’re brilliant. This is maneuver warfare. They’ve got you all suckered into believing this was a whistleblower and that Tucker Carlson (the former bowtie-wearing NPR liberal, #NeverTrump election fraud denier) is a white hat.
He’s not.
It wasn’t.
Exactly. While honest reporters like Lou Dobbs were fired.
and Maria Bartiromo, why is she still there? Is she a white skirt?
M Bartiromo won’t touch election fraud.
What legal authorities guide the DOJ having random access to the NSA database?…
… and How exactly did the DOJ gain the legal authority that Andrew Weissmann is describing Carlson should inquire about?
The Obama people, the executive, simply gave the authority to themselves which seems ILLEGAL, right?
Not that I watch Faux any longer, but for grins and chuckles with Tucker’s soapbox maybe, he should Andrew to explain this little conundrum.
“What is law? Two lines of writing above my signature.”–The Other Hussein
What a vile human being; ugly man.
Bannon says Weissman is a psychopath.
Most all of the leaders of their party are psychopaths.
Among other things.
Sidney Powell said essentially the same thing from what Weissman did during the Exon trials. He’s been at the helm of skullduggery and law breaking for a very long time.
The fact that Weissman withheld evidence that would exonerate innocent people in the Arthur Anderson trial makes Weissman pure evil. Those innocent people died in jail.
Democrat party? They don’t operate in a vacuum. Millions of spiritually darkened residents give their lives to despots like this operator. They make up that party and trust creatures like Pelosi to keep them swimming in abortions.
By Democrat standards he is the perfect operative.
If he was interned in a Nazi concentration camp in 1943, he would have been the one handing out towers at the shower room entrance.
So, did DOJ leak Tucker’s emails? Who else had access?Time for cross examination Andy. You are under oath.
They have most everyone suckered into believing this was a whistleblower and that Tucker Carlson (the former bowtie-wearing NPR liberal, #NeverTrump election fraud denier) is a white hat.
They *wanted* this news to get out so controlled opposition Carlson recovers his cred from bashing Trump and adds a bit more for future “approved” messaging.
Don’t fall for it.
Tucker puts out a lot of good content. I don’t agree with everything he says, in fact, he even p’s me off every now and then.
I see no reason not to believe his story and do not think that gives him any “cred”.
Whether or not he is controlled oppo, he does bring stories to light that no one else is discussing.
BTW, I never miss his show if I can help it and I have no fear he will talk me into something unhealthy
I can’t watch him, he’s another angry tenor.
I cannot watch Tucker. I’m not afraid, he just disgusts me, as does Faux news
I agree with you about the topics Tucker presents and I too watch him understanding very well who his employers are and the fact that he is absolutely not a Trump supporter. In fact, over the past week, I have been chuckling about his outrage over being spied on and his ignorance about the machinations of the NSA and DOJ. Almost every evening, he has revealed his own lack of insight and/or awareness of the depths of perfidy and duplicity being used by the unelected bureaucracy that is now in control of our country.
Always remember that these people are getting paid $millions to do what they are told or they will be cut off from the tit.
I certainly do. I watch primarily because he has interesting guests and I like his push-back style with some of the outright lies. I was pleasantly surprised when he went after McCarthy s flagrantly. Too bad he doesn’t go after the other republicans who are collaborating with the enemies of freedom. I wonder if McCarthy snubbed him but not curious enough to investigate.
How do we know you’re not the controlled opposition?
After all, what is Tucker really all about? The less you watch him the more you can see what is clearly going on. He needs watchers for his new Fox Nation show. I have thoroughly shed hanging on to him or any of the Fox news line-up.. Sundance gives more true light and knowledge of where we are than Tucker will ever be able to. They used to call people like him a flash in the pan. You are being entertained to keep Fox alive.
Agree. I spend my time reading this site and The Gateway Pundit. Fox News is dead to me.
Carlson was never a Never Trumper to my recollection. As far as an election fraud denier, put him in the same boat with a lot of others ranging from Netanyahu to Newsmax to most of our GOP politicians.
Tucker announced last night he will be covering the Fulton County, Georgia, audit next week. It’s a start anyway.
I don’t think any of they should be questioned under oath. Oath means nothing to them.
No, I think this article should be posted everywhere, forwarded to anyone we think will read it, to our reps, etc. Don’t give this POS a chance to defend himself with more lies. Just expose him over and over and over again.
The reference to a “Bridge” between the DOJ, NSD and the NSA is a nice thought. A bridge implies there is some distance between them. Under Odumbo those deep state cesspools became spots of the same dog
Good catch, Sundance. Weissman is admitting that the Fourth Branch has gutted the Fourth Amendment. Fitting, for a four-term president, I suppose.
Note: “The only targets Weissmann ever selected for FARA investigations were political opposition.”
There was one exception. Herr Weissman needed to pretend his FARA blitzkreig against Gen. Flynn was fair, but he couldn’t very well prosecute the Podestas.
So they charged Clinton/Obama/Castro lawyer Greg Craig–but made sure he got an Acquittin’ Jury.
#PotemkinJustice.
Nobody was actually spying on Tucker Carlson other than to give plausible credibility to his rehabilitation from the anti-Trump election fraud denier he truly is.
Don’t buy into it. This is textbook Maneuver Warfare.
Keep saying it. Maybe we’ll buy you’re not trolling us.
When the truth of election fraud mattered, Tucker was AWOL. He sided with his Fox masters. Now he is some kind of Diogenes? I don’t think so.
Tucker is saying the right things, people hear him, he is angry. All of that is helpful, whatever his motive. Tucker must realize he is lumped together with the other “journalists” that now so outrage him. Let him prove his credentials. He is no Lou Dobbs that’s for sure.
We are losing the country.
BJ keeps posting the same diatribe against Tucker repeatedly here and obviously must believe that quantity= credibility.
Nope.
The fact that the nsa felt compelled to post a non-denial “denial” last week confirmed that Carlson is right on target.
Another Christmas goose.
Alex van der Zwaan took the rap for Greg Craig, but he only got one month iirc.
Interesting side note….Alex is the relative that the Fusion GPS lawyer illegally tried to use as a conduit to Alfa Bank to cut a backroom deal on their lawsuit vs Fusion.
What Wiseass will say is that if Carlson thinks he was illegally spied on by the government, he should file a complaint with the DOJ who would be the proper authority (FBLIE) to investigate.
And, he would be correct.
But, as SD points out, the DOJ probably has access to all the NSA data.
The FBI will “investigate”, determine no wrong doing took place and announce that Carlson was wrong. Win for the DOJ/FBI. That is why you don’t bother calling them.
Except if they find Legos at TC’s residence.
Those Pesky LEGOS ,
Always Showing Up Where You Least Expect Them ?
Maybe the Intelligence Community DOES share their Legos!! Here a silo there a silo everywhere a sigh-lo. Just be careful when erecting Jan 6 Lego replicas. The IC should be ashamed of themselves, that is if they had any virtue at all.
Meh. This is all scripted. Carlson is either in on it or an unwitting dupe. You decide.
tucker complains and the FBI and the rest have a legal right to question him. Did that not happen to trumps, white house staff? Did not happen to a casual conversation. A government agency needed a few words with General Flynn and got him an early retirement.
The NSA is supposed to identify terrorists and provide the intelligence that allows law enforcement to interdict terrorists and neutralize their plans.
But when DHS’ Phil Haney identified terrorists and targeted their networks, the Administration shut him down, and later (probably) assassinated him.
This means the NSA (and other similar agencies) are not interested in protecting our Nation.
What then is their raison d’etre?
1.Find political leverage
2. Protect the Deep State
3. Search out lucrative business/investment opportunities.
Number 3 is number 1. Blackmail number 2. Protecting Americans, number 100.000.000.000.
is it the NSA? or is it the interagency memorandum? and it some other group.
AW’s got a Godfather Complex going on… Yo, Carlson.. you gotta problem you bring it to me.
ps… My mob boss lingo is a tad rusty..
Excellent work, Sundance.
A mob boss would act expediently in dealing with people like Weismann
He’s reading the script so you’ll buy off on it. All these people in Washington on both sides are in bed with each other.
A snake handler expects to get bitten, expects to survive a bite. Is Mr. Weissmann a snake handler? I say he is. My next inquiry is what kind of snakes does he handle? Who do these snakes want to bite? Why do these snakes always seem to bite these people?
Is Weissmann and arrogant person? Seems to be to me. I don’t think he ever expects to get bitten. I wonder who just may bite him and when?
I don’t he will survive such a bite.
Good thought. There is no honor among these hyenas and if Weissmann weakens they will tear him apart for fun.
Every single bit of this fake story is intended to accomplish a purpose and that purpose is detrimental to individual liberty.
Time will tell us what our watches won’t.
Carson is either in on it or an unwitting dupe. The arc of his future messaging and value to the system in his white hat role remains unchanged either way.
Trust me on this one.
Does this weasel’s actions surprise anyone?
Note the way he takes Tucker Carlson’s questioning the actions of the NSA and calls it “anti-American.”
It’s apparently now “anti-American” to question the motives of the intelligence community.
That’s exactly what Herr Weissmann is saying. Someone should ask Herr if there is ever a possibility a gubmint agency or employee could be a corrupt or less than virtuous. Basic, essential questions that never get asked.
It’s even more anti-American to fall for the groupthink that believes this entire thing is not INTENTIONAL messaging and OPERATIVE (Carlson) CONTROL.
They’re building him up to be a sympathetic figure to the right rather than the election fraud denier and Trump opposition he actually is.
Wait for it . . .
When laws are not enforced, lawlessness will rule.
The NSA/DOJ-NSD/FBI were not held accountable for their OBVIOUS violations of the law. So, they are doing whatever they want.
Reminds me of the line, “I’d call the police, but they’re already here…”
Another creep.
He is relaxed, smiling and loving it.
Of course he is. Nothing ever happened to him and his people are still in charge. He can do whatever he wants and no one will stop him.
I would be smiling too.
Like the line in My Fair Lady: “Oozing charm from every pore, he oiled his way across the floor…”
Psychopaths are incapable of feeling remorse but experience elation when they “get away with it, pull off the scam.
That’s why Wiseman is smiling, he feels no need to cover his mirth.
Bingo.
Maybe Tucker will read this post and do a segment focusing on the illegal use of DOJ contractors and DOJ/FBI unlawfully spying on American citizens. Say what you will about Tucker but he reached a lot of people.
Tucker’s boss is Paul Ryan
How does anyone even pay attention to his tripe ?
If this latest Tucker’s story doesn’t result in justice, as in, exposing who unmasked him and then reasonable punishment, I will know this was another crumb the swamp is giving us to get us hooked on Fox News again so they can promote their RINOs for 2022.
The swamp needs us watching FOX so they slip in their people posing as Republicans to say all we want to hear, get us voting for the same RINOs over and over.
If they lose that venue, they are in real trouble. The moment we are not watching Fox anymore and they can’t control us, they will panic.
The uniparty needs both sides and the sham disputes for the camera.
Him Rosenstein, Nadler, Schumer, Schiff should share a cell at Gitmo
some more context with the Court ruling it was a private entity and not an “assisting federal agencies’ entity.
and this is why they snoop the NSA database – to find supporting infor for fisas when they feel they are going to get caught. Why? because FISA gives retroactive immunity (kinda like spying on PDJT in 2015, and when he won in 2016 they needed to get retroactive immunity for the illegal spying)
and they walked into a federal building (comeys lawyer) to trick the court into it being okay they have access.
I have my suspicions that trick pales in comparison to the downplaying of the extensiveness of the NSA database and its collection methods.
Only metadata? Why should I take any of them on their word?
they take it all, but mining it requires a lot of resources, and takes an incentive to get a bit miner.
basically the magnetic storage that flips left for 0 and right for 1 (mine bits for Coin) or up down vice versa.
I am well aware of the technical feasibility of doing so.
It would require massive data processing facilities like the sort that I have heard rumor of having been built in Utah.
could our “national security” surive without the nsa?
“If ever there was an institution in which the public’s trust should be eroded, it is these guys.”Does Mark Steyn have a show now or is he a guest host?
he did the roaming host gig last week on the 7-8 pm show that replaced pearl clutcher mccallum’s show in the midst of their viewer collapse… they actually made this theme (the revolving host) because quality talent like Steyn probably turns their regular show offers down, and they are afraid to put bushies into doomed new regular show/segment roles.
to them they’ll do anything short of firing ryan and purging bushies.
to us it needs to start there. or at least IMO.
Steyn was right on (when isn’t he?) when he noted how none of our elected officials except maybe one or two seems remotely concerned about any of this. No kidding! Even the ones who were supposed to be the good guys are useless. Our team should be screaming from the rooftops about what’s going on on so many fronts (= our country is being dismantled at warp speed and morphing into a fascist state). And better yet, actually doing something about it. Instead, they champion tiny issues that we haven’t the luxury of time to bother with while the ship is sinking. No matter where you look, you realize we are on our own while we frantically document our demise.
Sarah, we don’t have a “team”. They are ALL in.
Thank you for posting this, Sundance. It’s mind boggling how the Left thinks. The reality of what they are doing to destroy this country from that corrupt city too far away from the rest of the real country will seep through the walls they continue to throw up. Then what? Like you say, Sundance, something is coming. Pray.
This is the 2x TC disparaged/blamed the Trump administration for not fixing this IC problem. In the Maria B interview TC played up that point and Maria pushed back on it and said it was the Zero admin who is responsible. He sheepishly agreed. This time he slid in his little one liner with no pushback.
So TC is placing the ‘blame’ for this IC overreach on 45. Misplaced blame. He knows what was going on under 45 admin. After all, he just said he’s been in Dc 35 years. He knows.
I might even think Ryan is behind this set up here to blame 45 for all the IC crap. Yah, maybe that’s the underlying theme here.
This is why I don’t trust TC. He blows with the wind. I am glad he is exposing this, but I think he knows why 45 admin couldn’t do anything about it, and I am not going to expound on that point here. It’s all been discussed at length, already.
Read Sidney Powell’s book….Liscense to Lie. You will really see what a scumbag he is.
“Listen carefully to how Weissmann frames what Carlson “should have done” (prompted)…”
Nitpick but he used COULD rather than SHOULD.
Wrong. The NSA collects every electronic communication from every US citizen and holds it for 72 hrs.
Is he gay? And what is that picture on the wall? So tired of the spouting.
Andrew’s not gay.
But his boyfriend is.
Aaah, thanks for clearing that up.
And just WHO will do anything about it? Where is the SCOTUS? Isn’t it their job to PROTECT the Constitutional Rights of every citizen?
If the SCOTUS can’t help … who can? The Turtle?
It will be up to We the People as laid out by our Gounding documents.
Citizens don’t have standing until they have been damaged by the denial of their rights and spent a fortune on a lawyer(s) to go through the entire lower court system. Standing is a construct of the court and is weighted against preservation of our basic rights.
I would just like to hear from wiseacre-man why the mueller investigators shouldn’t be prosecuted for obstruction when they locked their phones AFTER they were subpoenaed ???
Weissman: “[Tucker Carlson] wanted to use this for his own purposes and to sow distrust [of the NSA], which is so anti-American.”
Got that? Spying on journalists isn’t un-American. Reporting it is.
He’s like a walking Deep State-Tuskeegee Experiment. His brain is eaten up from years of untreated Clapper Clap.
using the worlds most punchable face logic that you highlight above; I would think he would be ok with releasing for public review his Cayman Island financial account records.
I keep hoping, praying that a professional hacker will go after all these Occult Sadist Democrats. Take their money, shut down their bank accounts, and expose all their communications and activities.
“License to Lie” by Sydney Powell. At the very least he appears to be a sociopath. DOJ/FBI/US Federal Courts in DC corrupt. I wonder whether Ghislane Maxwell goes to trial on Monday, July 12, 2021. So many government officials knew about her bad acts and allowed her to continue to abuse children. How can this ever be justified by a civil society? Never!
“When I hear his steps outside my door, I lie down on my bed, open my legs and think of England. And the NSA. Also Russia, Russia Russia!”–Lady Hillingdon’s hacked emails, 1912
Weissmann and the other coup members are gleefully rubbing our faces in the mud. They stole the election with the most absurd candidate possible and no one stopped them and have set on a destructive course that even Obama couldn’t muster. They are so full of arrogance that they feel they are unstoppable. They could care less what they say or what we think. They believe themselves untouchable.

talking about arrogance, self-righteous, unapologetic –

After Deputy AG Sally Yates responded to Congress, July 20, 2015, that the Federal Wiretap Act of 1968 superseded the Inspector General Act of 1978, in regards to oversite of the DOJ-NSD, the Republican Congress passed the Inspector General Empowerment Act and President Obama signed it into law on December 16, 2016. This Act covers intercepted communications and National Security Letters (NSL).
Is he discrediting Carlson like he did Trump.
He’s trying.
It is always projection for these guys. He accuses Carlson of sowing distrust of government agencies as he sows distrust of Carlson and anyone that dares to question Government.com is ‘unamerican’.
Once you see the strings, you can’t ‘unsee’ them.
Wasn’t he the DOJ thug who directed two FIB thugs to hire MS-13 to kill Seth Rich and subsequently kill MS-13 assailants? No loose ends you know? I don’t remember FIB thugs names.
If the DOJ has access to this information, then laws are being violated.
Get angry. Get informed and gain insight. Rally your friends and convince the skeptical of the truth.
Ok. Now what?
Now nothing is what.
On the other side of the equation we are all seeking to solve lies a bottomless pit where your hopes and wishes, your righteous indignation, your hotly worded letters to patriotic blogs, and your chances of returning to a Constitutional representative republic are sent never to be seen again.
Ever.
None of the energy spent on restoring our government to the ideals of the founders is productive exactly because it fuels the opposition; we are playing their game and it is rigged. Electing the right personalities to oppose them and doing so at the local level on up only leads to disappointment and disillusion. And forming a grass-roots organization to wave the flag and sing the National Anthem doesn’t cause them to tremble and fear the “cold anger” it only amuses them. Change the direction of the national trajectory? Oh, ok. Remember the Tea Party?
For every good example of a patriotic and anti-establishment republican I’ll counter with a Jared Kushner, Mitch McConnell, and Bill Barr. Yes Trump destroyed the image of established politicians and badly disrupted the big GOPe machine but the swamp did not shrink, the power of the federal government did not reduce, and the march of permanent corruption was not halted. Neither did the budget process return to normal nor did the chances of states rights overcoming the tyranny in DC. Oh, and spending bills that are supposed to originate in the House? Yeah, no. Those originate in the offices of lobbyists and don’t you dare try to suggest otherwise you hateful nationalist.
What use is a law if it is so easily ignored? What is the function of a representative government if we no longer have a voice or a vote?
And the answer to the problem, the one with the bottomless pit on the other side? I don’t know but it doesn’t include continuing to play by the rules. The other side is winning and we are surrounded by the enemy; playing by the rules is a guaranteed loss.
Amen!! We must bring consequences. Severe ones to them and their families and friends
Don’t trust Weismann, but recognize that he and so many others are shouting once quiet truths and blatantly flaunting their ability to unabashedly use government power and authority against their political enemies and everyday citizens.
Makes one wonder as to the actual intentions of the whistleblower.
Was he or she really giving a heads up to Carlson, or mearly using carlson to telegraph that the illegal situation re NSA and DOJ was still ongoing.
The real villains in this chapter of US History are the infamous traitors, Bill Barr, Chris Wray, Bullsh!t Durham. The perpetrators never had a fear in the world. They knew the investigation under Barr was a bag job from the get go. If you conduct virtually no interviews and reject evidence from the political silo your not investigating.
The US is up against it. Virtually every important Department in Government has been corrupted. Sadly, the media, big tech, teachers, and international corporations are in on it.
The hope is that AZ and Mike Lindell will produce eye-opening evidence that will prove to be irrefutable.
You know even if there is “eye-opening evidence” there isn’t. I mean for example you have Bidung’s pay-for-play on video and it’s nothing. There are other examples. If Trump was on video like that, Nanzi would be solemnly and prayerfully marching to the Senate chambers with Articles of Impeachment (again).
Uh huh…..I read about many of those wonderful “safeguards in the system” in Horowitz’s Dec 19 report.
Who trusts the DOJ? I do not and suspect that Tucker does not either. We do not trust any of the Govt so called Investigative agencies. We do not TRUST our GOVT period.
Mr. unwi$e-man;
Just how is a spied upon citizen
supposed to obtain unpersonable, effective
legal recourse
by talking to a ( silo ) doj bureacracy
when it
may be a (silo ) nsd bureacracy ( talking with overseas spy bureacracy’s)?
How is it that the silo doj, could possibly find something accurate, and timely about the silo nsd?
Do 2 silos have a line of communication ?
Please elaborate.
( maybe you already did ?)
If someone is going to tattle tale, whistleblow, on someone else – who can be trusted to tell? ( shifty schif? )
Hint:
what was not straight forward during 2 yrs +, of media hyped, expensive, Russia gate ( obfuscation$)?
Intuitively, the answers are clear.
Obtaining timely verification from a obfuscating, bureacratic wi$e-man apparently is contrary to the purpo$e.
( unless there is a garage door pull rope to use to help to make a mountain out of a ‘mole’ hill so as to help boost / sponsor someone’$ contract?).
Perhaps a wi$e-man has answers?
[ some have already un$een, plenty of that …]
Where is Boasberg? What a snake.
At first I thought it was a clip from “Better call Saul”.
Weissmann stole his look from Saul Goodman.
Once again no oversight by the OIG. As if that would expose anything anyway other than a redacted report. Why not Congressional oversight? Do they not perform their duty’s for the American people because it would expose their complicity? I’m no longer bewildered about what’s going on in our government. It’s called institutional systemic corruption.
The traitor Republicans had plenty of opportunities to do something. They are all in on this destruction of the USA.
I wonder if he had a view about the the illegal LEAK of Carlson emails ? How would this azz justify that as BIg Brother acting responsibily ? He can’t, so that topic has to be avoided .
Wouldn’t it have been great to see Weissmann’s reaction if the reporter had asked him about the leak of emails and who was responsible? Was that leak purposed from NSA or DOJ ? Which Agency do you think was behind it Andy?
Those here know all about info “silos” and their purpose. The typical American has no idea, Weissman is telling them to keep trusting the system they believe still exists. It does not. Go to the DOJ and get the actual runaround said silo is intended.
Sundance is correct, sadly many outside CTH don’t see the strings, sad.
