Elon Musk Fires Deputy General Counsel For Suppressing Information Important To Public

“In light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from Twitter today”

Elon Musk fired deputy general counsel Jim Baker over his involvement in suppressing information important to the public. Baker was a key player in Twitter’s effort to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Musk said: “In light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from Twitter today

Jonathan Turley wrote about Baker: “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.

“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.

He should have had him arrested for suppression of free speech.

Fire the POS, and the rest too. This is what Trump should have done.

These people are dirtier than dirt. No wonder they are so good at criminally stealing elections, they stop at nothing. Same true for destroying people, I mean this Jan 6th commission is also criminal. Talk about abuse of power.

In many ways the Musk takeover of Twitter has exceeded my expectations. It’s like having a good dream, but waking up and it actually is happening.

Elon should fire Biden, too. He certainly suppresses important information from the public also. . . (wish he could)

In globalist corporatism parlance it means “liaison to the official government policy makers”.

Trump, for all his good qualities, had no idea how mendacious the deep state was. Whom do you hire in the DOJ or the State Department the DOD, etc., that is both competent and experienced? Swampies, nine times out of ten. Who else is there? Giuliani was great in his day, but now he’s old. And instead you have these Obama holdovers, Bush holdovers, Clinton holdovers, Bush Sr. holdovers, and the Reaganites are mostly dead. I think his eyes are opened now. Fire them all, unless they can prove their worth.

A Deputy General Counsel who suppressed key information relative to the sale of the company. They should be in prison.

They’re going to take Elon out. He just excluded the deep state’s source from Twitter.

This is what Trump should have done.
Are you really that dense or are using this as a way to try to make Trump look bad?

It doesn't work that way. Trump was not a King.

The bottom line is, YOU are the fool in this picture.

Not at all.

It is, now, more powerful and brazen.

It seems these Deep Staters go back and forth between public sector and private sector like Air Force Generals go to Boeing after retirement and come back as lobbyists. Baker is worse... he’s much more evil.
