Baker — who for years has been searching for the truth about Jan. 6, 2021, and believes the U.S. government has been targeting him for it — on Friday was charged with four misdemeanors related to his Jan. 6 coverage at the U.S. Capitol after turning himself in to the FBI in Dallas.
But first he was handcuffed and perp-walked:
The charges are:
Knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority Disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds Disorderly conduct in a capitol building Parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building
BlazeTV contributor Jill Savage noted Friday that she exited the courtroom with Baker, who "was able to wear his dress clothes but had shackles on his wrists and ankles. He is expected to be released today. His next hearing is set in DC for March 14th."
Baker learned of the charges for the first time Friday and earlier this week told Blaze News that the powers that be wouldn't tell his attorney about the charges because they believed Baker would post them on social media.
Baker's Dallas attorney, James Lee Bright, added to Blaze News that withholding the nature of the charges against his client was a "really unusual" move.
Bright told Blaze News that he's "disturbed" about what's happening with his client, especially given that Baker has been "in full compliance" all this time. Bright also said the federal government "three-plus years later going after people who were legitimate functioning journalists that day" appears designed to have an "absolute chilling effect."
Baker added that when he asked his other attorney, William Shipley, why the federal government is treating him like this, Shipley replied, "You know why. You've been poking them in the eye for three years." 'This is truly outrageous'
Baker's arrest and charges have been getting a ton of attention — and notable individuals have been weighing in: (videos at link)
On behalf of all punks everywhere I’m insulted and offended by your post.
[[ The charges are: Knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority]]
Um didn’t guards ushering people into the building grant “lawful authority” for the protestors to be there?

How many code pink protestors, or antifa and blm protestors have been arrested for the VERY SAME THING?
**n the State of Alabama, the serfs don’t care a whit about something as their lives as long as they have Alabama football**
That’s a good example of people being distracted while being robbed.
I see it in the masses addiction to every form of the entertainment industry, of which sports is obviously included.
When my farming career was facing destruction under the Cawtuh administration, I soon lost my performance car, music and football addictions, seeing those things couldn’t rescue my career. My mind was mine again, having lost it to those interest during high school. I sold my corvette in the spring of 82, and was not sad at all as it drove away.
Turning to God is always the answer to troubles. Prioritizing God’s way of life for me has opened my eyes to what is truth, what is lies and deception, and what is just a plain ol waste of time.
Nothing neo about it now.
I cannot believe that in The United States of America people are being arrested and held without bail for protesting a stolen election, and now merely reporting it is deemed a crime!
You can bet that they're monitoring this forum and anxious to come after anyone who disputes the party line.

The writer is at the mercy of the government's choice and wording of the charges.
Krasner is the Philly DA. True Soros funded POS.
And NO members of the Propaganda Ministry (formerly the MSM) of the communist uprising to destroy the Republic, will EVER be arrested under this mob. I pray to Yeshua that Trump wins so that his first act in office is to pardon all those of Jan 6th, even tho he cannot pardon himself, which I wish he could. This criminal enterprise known as the Biden Crime Family and the communist taken over former dimocratic party, will continue to do everything they can to take out this Republic as their godfather Burack Hussein Obammy has directed them to do. I believe in my heart of hearts that Biden is only a puppet of the Obammy Crime Syndicate of the radical muslim mobs.
You nailed it.
It’s Kafka.
But it’s worse. It’s totalitarianism.
Baker said he’s got access to video of every minute he’s in the Capitol (Mike Johnson?)
He wasn’t worried about three of the chages.
Levin was relatively subdued during the interview. May have been letting Baker tell his story, rather than making himself the focus.
Germany in the 1930’s and Stalin’s USSR.
He is lucky they didn’t murder him. It is coming. “Look out, he has a gun, kill him, his dog, his kids, his wife, his pastor, they are all armed.”
I didn’t think Michael Byrd was technically a fed, but he was on their side.
DOJ will use any excuse to charge the opposition party, because DC juries will use any excuse to convict.
Code Pink was charged for trespassing during the Kavanaugh hearings-during an actual official proceeding taking place.
They were instantly bailed out, charges dropped while the totalitarian establishment applauded.
PS sorry to read of the road trip woes.
And what if he did post the charges on social media. They’d probably censor him anyway.
And put fake windows up to break.
