Fox News host Tucker Carlson released a striking statement, sounding alarm on a massive cover up of the consequences of the US Intelligence failures.
During Carlson’s primetime show last Thursday night, the Fox News Host accused the Biden administration of hiding to the public the result of intelligence failures that were likely caused by a 21-year-old Air National Guardsman from Massachusetts earlier this month.
The statement comes as the documents disclosed by an anonymous individual led to the arrest of Jack Teixeira at the home of his parents yesterday.
Amid the controversy, the Fox News host pointed his fingers at the media for failing to ask the US government regarding the substance of the intelligence leak, exposing information that led Americans to believe that military officials see the Ukrainian military as having significant weaknesses in its campaign against Russia.
While live on air, Carlson argued that “If you want to get really sick to your stomach, go pull a transcript from the Pentagon briefing today where news reporters asked flacks from the Pentagon, what are we gonna do to keep information like this secret in the future? Not one question about the substance of the information.
“We are fighting a war against Russia directly, really? Don’t they have the biggest arsenal in the world? Not one question. How can we help you keep it secret?,” the Fox News Host stated in his controversial remark.
In addition, another leaked document also appeared to indicate that the NATO forces have troops deployed in Ukraine which is a question that America’s allies have been rebutting for months.
Furthermore, Carlson blasted the methods the Department of Justice and FBI used to ascertain the identity of Teixeira, arguing that, “the administration apparently used illegal surveillance techniques to identify this kid apparently with the help of The Washington Post and The New York Times.”
On Wednesday the Washington Post published a report, claiming that Teixeira’s online friends who saw his intelligence disclosures in a private Discord group were aware of his activities.
“If it’s illegal to see these documents if you don’t have a security clearance, how is the Washington Post doing this legally? They don’t have a security clearance. Well, obviously, they were given them by the U.S. Intel agencies and are working alongside them.” Carlson said.
