Washington, D.C. - James Baker has joined the Brookings Institution as a Visiting Fellow in Governance Studies, the Institution announced today. Baker will contribute to Brookings’s scholarship on issues related to artificial intelligence, cyber security, and national security. In addition to his role at Brookings, Baker will hold an affiliated appointment with the Lawfare Institute.

Baker comes to Brookings and Lawfare from the FBI. Throughout his distinguished career, including four years as the agency’s General Counsel, Baker has worked on numerous national security matters, including in particular, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

Washington Examiner - James Baker, who served as the bureau’s top lawyer until late last year when he was reassigned as an adviser to FBI Director Christopher Wray, is resigning, per the New York Times. He is also being looked at for possibly disclosing classified information with journalists about the so-called Trump dossier, though he has not been charged.

The Swamp is beginning to drain itself now!

[bert]

So from this move we can infer that Brookings is The Swamp

[SaraJohnson]

Oh yes, you can count on that. Brookings is Left, Left, Ledt. No ethics in the Western sense of the word.

[RoseofTexas]

Of course not!! The swamp never pay the price...NEVER!!

i think Lawfare [or a member/acquaintance] has had illegal access to the NSA database and used such data to shape narratives.

i think they’ll go down for it too.

Tells you a lot about the Brookings Institute doesn’t it???

[The Man]

It always has been part of the swamp.

Is the State Department Giving Money to President Trump? Let’s Find Out
Benjamin Wittes Mon, May 7, 2018, 6:23 PM

A few months ago, I began working with Scott Anderson and Sabrina McCubbin on an interesting project: trying to discern whether the State Department was, quite literally, paying President Trump money. Today, having gotten no response from the department on the subject, I filed a lawsuit on the subject

[Thank You Rush]

Your post doesn’t make sense...Is the “I” you mention - you? Who is Benjamin Wittes? State Department money to President Trump for WHAT? WHO filed a lawsuit and for what?

Could you possibly give some details that would make some sense?

[Daddaroo]

Sound like the left is polishing his reputation before the hammer falls.

Resized to fit Free Republic standard:

Benjamin Wittes of Lawfare (and a raging progressive) wrote the article in question.

[Thank You Rush]

“”Benjamin Wittes of Lawfare (and a raging progressive) wrote the article in question””

What does the linked article have to do with your post - State Department giving money to the president and I guess, the writer filing a lawsuit???? It still doesn’t make sense.

I tried in my post to inform you just what kind of person James Baker is, Benjamin Wittes is, and what Lawfare represents. Baker after leaving the FBI gravitated to two left wing operations, Brookings and Lawfare. The Lawfare legal suit challenging the State Department is not generally known.
I realize my effort failed miserably.
