First one in always gets the best deal. That doesn’t mean no conviction, no jail. It means, generally, a lesser sentence based on cooperation. Baker is a lawyer - he knows the score. If this is true, it was a good move for him and for accountability.
Love that scene, the part I like even better is where he says: what are you planning on doing in your next career Eliot because I was the one who hired you and you have thirty days notice.
you have to wonder what Jeff Sessions is thinking today. His selfishness and refusal to get out of the way/resign has caused so much grief.......
Criminal crap.
EPOCH TIMES has a great, inclusive, Spygate infographic. Includes this info:
James Baker was the most senior counsel at the FBI. He was a member of the “insurance policy” group, that worked closely with Andrew McCabe.
He was demoted and reassigned on December 20, 2017, before resigning on May 4, 2018. After leaving the FBI, he joined the Brookings Institution and began an affiliated appointment with the Lawfare Institute.
Baker was in contact with Michael Sussmann of Perkins Coie and political journalist David Corn of Mother Jones.
He should never have been appointed in the first place. The man had the work ethic of a U.S. Senator. Sessions was Trump’s biggest mistake.

If it is so that he is flipped, there will be another bunch of a holes snapping in DC and Seattle this evening.
Sessions started this. Barr is the Hammer.
First in line gets the best deal. Sort of a FIFO situation

According to The Washington Examiner’s Daniel Chaitin, former FBI General Counsel James Baker said on Monday he expects the Justice Department inspector general to find “mistakes” committed by the bureau in its handling of the Trump-Russia investigation.
Baker, who admitted last week the inspector general makes him “nervous,” said the government watchdog will probably find some errors reports Chaitin.
“The inspector general is looking at everything we did,” Baker said on CNN. “If the IG usually finds mistakes that we made, so I expect him to find mistakes this time.”
Baker said last week at an event in Washington, D.C., that he took a leading role in overseeing the FISA warrant applications to obtain the authority to spy on Page. Baker said on Monday he does not believe there was any intent from the people he worked with to do “anything wrong or illegal,” including politically motivated spying.
To us Baker sounds like an insider attempting to get out in front of a story he knows is going to go against him. And that begs the question, given U.S. attorney John Durham’s reputation for uncovering and prosecuting FBI corruption in the Bolger case, which one of the Spygate rats is going to flip first?
He/she/it that flips first flips best.
Baker said Trump’s intimidation tactics against the FBI are “very dangerous,” but believes that the career officials at the bureau are highly resilient and are going to “resist” Trump as much as they can.
If there was a flow chart of those in the FBI that played a part he would be at or toward the top though.
