The following looks like a real "bombshell", but only is when you know that the Nicaragua Contras, that were supported by Tucker Carlson and his family, really paid for their weapons by trafficking cocaine, so the Reagan-Bush team could flood US ghettos with crack (see link at the bottom)...
It reminds me of Alex Jones’ family connections…
Other than that while the story is overlong it doesn't include the interesting tidbit that Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden (and their wifes) were (are?) close friends.
.
Tucker Carlson's great-uncle was Arkansas Senator William Fulbright, while his step-mother, Patricia Swanson, is the heiress to the Swanson Frozen Food company fortune.
Tucker's dad, Richard “Dick” Carlson, is a journalist who was once appointed by President Ronald Reagan as director of the US Information Agency (USIA) that funded foreign propaganda networks, like Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio and TV Martí and Voice of America (of which Dick was the director). Dick was also directly involved in bringing down the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua (supporting the cocaine dealing Contras).
President George H.W. Bush appointed Dick Carlson as US Ambassador to the Seychelles.
Dick Carlson was also included in several think tanks, including the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), where he was on the board together with Jeanne Kirkpatrick (also involved in Iran-Contra Affair) and none other than R. James Woolsey (CIA director from 1993 to 1995). When Dick later joined the Institute for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, he once again teamed up with Woolsey.
While his father was officially, secretly arming the cocaine dealing Contras, Tucker and his friend Neil Patel (Daily Caller co-founder) while still in college went to Nicaragua, to “get involved in the war and support the side that was right, which was not the Sandinista side”.
Carlson later boasted that that he was literally “standing next to her when she won”, US-backed, Contra-supporting candidate Violeta Chamorro.
Years later, Carlson as star journalist defended the drug trafficking, money laundering, terrorist financing North, saying “He is a great man, Ollie North”, and inviting him on Tucker Carlson Tonight multiple times.
Tucker Carlson was part of the disgraceful media attack on Contra drug trafficking reporter Gary Webb, saying that there was “no evidence” for Webb’s claims.
Tucker also lied that there is “ample evidence” that the CIA had “moved to remove drug traffickers” from the “Nicaraguan resistance” (see below)...
Tucker Carlson even joined the wonderful CNN, where he supported the invasion of Iraq.
Tucker even mingled with private US mercenaries, see him in 2004 (on the right) posing with 2 DynCorp International employees, holding a Kalashnikoff.
Another top neocon close to the Carlson family is Scooter Libby (chief of staff to VP Dick Cheney).
In 2007, Libby was sentenced to 30 months in prison for his role in a CIA scandal. Carlson on MSNBC defended Libby, forgetting to mention that his father Dick was his "good friend", had employed Libby as his lawyer and was even on the Libby Legal Defense Fund.
Libby was later pardoned by President Trump.
In 2021, Tucker was eating dinner together with none other than George W. Bush in Florida: https://www.mintpressnews.com/tucker-carlson-biography-nicaragua-cia/279782/

Firestarter said:By early 1983, CIA dollars were pouring into Honduras and Costa Rica, which benefitted the Contras. But the money the Contras received wasn’t nearly enough to finance the growing military organisation. The CIA recruited Norwin Meneses so that drug sales could be used to support the Contras.
Ronald Reagan installed Oliver North to arrange the details.
The following picture shows from right to left Ronald Reagan, Oliver North, Adolfo Calero (CIA operative installed as FDN commander) on 4 April 1985.
