Matt Taibbi, the reporter who broke the Twitter Files story, shed more light on Elon Musk’s decision to fire James Baker:
“We can now tell you part of the reason why. On Tuesday, Twitter Deputy General Counsel (and former FBI General Counsel) Jim Baker was fired. Among the reasons? Vetting the first batch of “Twitter Files” – without knowledge of new management.”
“The process for producing the “Twitter Files” involved delivery to two journalists (Bari Weiss and me) via a lawyer close to new management. However, after the initial batch, things became complicated.”

James Baker was in charge of file distribution, and he caused delays.
Last Friday evening, Elon Musk disclosed internal Twitter talks that led to the company’s decision to remove any links revealing Hunter’s laptop from hell.
In October 2020, just days before the general election, the New York Post published incriminating and devastating contents from Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The New York Post was banned from Twitter at the time for its reporting on crackhead Hunter and his criminal dealings.
Musk made public internal correspondence from Twitter executives about the company’s decision to limit access to Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Former FBI lawyer James Baker was one of the Twitter officials engaged in the decision to hide the Hunter laptop report in October 2020.
Baker “resigned” from the FBI in 2018 and joined Twitter in June 2020.
Even though they knew the files were not hacked, Twitter’s Deputy General Counsel at the time, James Baker, asked Twitter executives to prevent access to the Hunter Biden laptop story.

James Baker also meddled in the 2016 election by acting as a spokesman for Hillary Clinton’s lawyer, Michael Sussmann.
Sussmann was charged with lying to the FBI last year.
According to the indictment, Sussmann allegedly informed then-FBI lawyer James Baker that he wasn’t working “for any client” when he requested a meeting with the FBI to offer phony proof that the Trump Tower was secretly interacting with Kremlin-linked Alfa Bank.
James Baker has frequently defended the Trump-Russia investigation’s beginnings.
The Trump-Russia investigation was sparked by Hillary Clinton’s false Russia dossier, while James Baker stated it was sparked by a tip regarding George Papadopoulos.
“The Papadopoulos information triggered us down this path,” Baker explained. “It would have been a dereliction of our duty not to investigate this information.”
Baker was involved in the Spygate affair where the Biden administration spied on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. This makes two presidential elections where he was involved in trying to harm Donald Trump’s campaigns for the White House in order to help the Democrats. It was a despicable that Twitter would hire him in the first place.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
