s Baker to the nth Degree // (Scott Johnson).
James Baker was a key player in the suppression of Hunter Biden’s laptop reporting by the New York Post before the 2020 election. Jonathan Turley pointed out his role in the scandals of six years in “Six Degrees of James Baker.” I included him in my “Notes on Twitter Files” this AM. Now, I have to add this mind-boggling notescript.
It was not obvious to me that Baker was working in the Twitter regime for Musk. Baker continued his malfactions through and including Matt Taibbi’s work on Twitter Files this week. Elon Musk claims that he discovered Baker was jiggering with documentary evidence handed over to Taibbi, Bari Weiss. Musk fired him today. He is a rotten apple.
Yes. His explanation was…unconvincing.

Miranda Devine doesn’t take this mind-boggling postscript, forgive me for repeating myself, at face value. As you can see, she applies the cynicism that comes with being a true reporter. Twitter has more information, but this is all that we know at the moment. I’m sure there will be more.
We need a better explanation for Friday’s delay @mtaibbi Did Baker covertly intercept the Twitter Files and censor them? Did Baker raise bogus legal objections to the Twitter Files? What was withheld? Will you release all of his 10/20 communications? Particularly with FBI/DNC/BidenInc. https://t.co/2wkJOTai9f
