Elon Musk fires Twitter lawyer Jim Baker, who was involved in censoring Hunter Biden laptop and Russia probe
Elon Musk said that Twitter's former Deputy General Counsel James Baker was "exited" from the company on Tuesday after revelations about his role in the platform's handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Journalist Matt Taibbi published internal communications over the weekend that took place among Twitter's top brass in October 2020 about how to deal with the New York Post's publication of materials on Hunter Biden's laptop.
Baker was involved in discussions about whether the laptop falls under Twitter's "hacked materials" policy.
"I support the conclusion that we need more facts to assess whether the materials were hacked," Baker wrote in one email chain. "At this stage, however, it's reasonable for us to assume that they may have been and that caution is warranted."
Baker was responding to a Twitter executive who was wondering whether they could "truthfully claim" that the laptop story was "part of the policy."......
Taibbi said Tuesday that he and another journalist, Bari Weiss, were dealing "with obstacles to new searches" when Weiss discovered that Baker was responsible for releasing the files over the weekend.
"The news that Baker was reviewing the 'Twitter files' surprised everyone involved, to say the least," Taibbi tweeted.
Musk tweeted later on Tuesday that Baker's explanation for his involvement was "unconvincing.".....

==================================
So James Baker the former General Council of the FBI that was fired for his part in the "Russian Collusion Scandal" ended up as a top lawyer at Twitter. Somehow he survived the initial firings at Twitter. He has been busy SCRUBBING the files that Musk released to Taibbi and Bari Weiss. They discovered that Baker was scrubbing the files to hide the FBI's involvement. Even the New York Post journalist Miranda Devine knew not everything was being released and said so on Tucker before they discovered what Baker had done. . So Musk "exited" Baker from Twitter. THAT is the REASON for the delays in the second release of emails to the public. They are going back and trying to find what Baker was trying to scrub and hide from the public.
