It looks like his Justice Department career began under Bush 41. He took a different job with Clinton. And then he had an intelligence job with W. He took this new role in 2014.
He’s obviously has deep ties in both the FBI and intelligence, but who knows what is going on here? I have a suspicion that Scaramucci’s strategy is going to be leaking the names of all the suspected leakers. Which could out to be either brilliant or a total disaster.
“In 1996, Mr. Baker joined the former Office of Intelligence Policy and Review (OIPR), which later became part of DOJ’s National Security Division. From 2001 to 2007, Mr. Baker served as counsel for intelligence policy and head of OIPR. In this position, he developed, coordinated, and implemented national security policy with regard to intelligence and counterintelligence matters for the department. Moreover, he provided the attorney general, the U.S. intelligence community, and the White House with legal and policy advice on a range of national security issues and conducted oversight of the intelligence community, including the FBI, on behalf of the attorney general.”
Imagine the covfefe that would cause!
