Jonathan Turley: If Someone in the NSA Leaked Tucker Carlson’s Emails to the Media, ‘That Is a Crime’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TURLEY: “It is murky. This type of intercept or surveillance could have occurred legally in a couple of ways. Maybe Tucker Carlson was corresponding with someone who was subject to an NSA surveillance order or that person may have forwarded the email to another party who was subject to that type of order. That could occur without him being a target. But that doesn’t answer the more serious questions. Tuck — what Tucker Carlson is alleging is his email was circulated with his name displayed. That would constitute a crime. If somebody took an intercept and leaked it to the media. The reason is that even though the content of the email may not be classified, the intercept is. For those of us who do national security litigation, it takes a lot even as defense counsel in a criminal case on FISA or NSA material. So the intercept can be classified. There is no legal way to leak that to the media.”
