Twitter files reveal familiar name in Hunter Biden laptop scandal: James Baker
NY Post ^ | December 3, 2022 | Jonathan Turley

After leaving the FBI, Twitter seemed eager to hire Baker as deputy general counsel. Ironically, Baker soon became involved in another alleged back channel with a presidential campaign. This time it was Twitter that maintained the non-public channels with the Biden campaign (and later the White House). Baker soon weighed in with the same signature bias that characterized the Russian investigations.

As thousands of Twitter documents are released on the company’s infamous censorship program, much has been confirmed about the use of back channels by Biden and Democratic officials to silence critics on the social media platform. However, one familiar name immediately popped out in the first batch of documents released through journalist Matt Taibbi: James Baker. For many, James Baker is fast becoming the Kevin Bacon of the Russian collusion scandals.

Baker has been featured repeatedly in the Russian investigations launched by the Justice Department, including the hoax involving the Russian Alfa Bank. When Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann wanted to plant the bizarre false claim of a secret communications channel between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, Baker was his go-to, speed-dial contact. (Baker would later testify at Sussmann’s trial).

Baker’s name also appeared prominently in controversies related to the other Russian-related FBI allegations against Trump. He was effectively forced out due to his role and reportedly found himself under criminal investigation. He became a defender of the Russian investigations despite findings of biased and even criminal conduct. He was also a frequent target of Donald Trump on social media, including Twitter. Baker responded with public criticism of Trump for his “false narratives.”

I thing that has always bothered me about the campaign against President Trump is the speed in which it spread. He had hardly reached the bottom of the stairway to announce his candidacy before it sorted.

Now, a campaign as large as this doesn’t start overnight or without advanced warning. How did the Democrats know he was going to run and at least a month in advance.

He needs a .30 diameter rectum right between his eyes.

There is no indication that he is related to THE James Baker, Secretary of State, of the George Bush administration. (Bush#1...not GW)
