James Baker, the former FBI general counsel, at the center of the Twitter suppression scandal
- As thousands of Twitter documents are released on the company’s 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.
- Baker has been featured repeatedly in the Russian investigations launched by the Justice Department, including the hoax involving the Russian Alfa Bank.
The New York Post ran an explosive story about a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden that contained emails and records detailing a multimillion dollar influence peddling operation by the Biden family
- At the request of the Biden team, Twitter moved to block the story.
- It even suspended those who tried to share the allegations with others.
Twitter was eager to hire Baker despite his involvement in the Russian collusion scandal
- For censors and political operatives in Twitter, Baker likely seemed like a "made man" for a company committed to systemic censorship
- He would be working with Vijaya Gadde, who functioned as the company's chief censor
- Baker earned his bones in Washington as a facilitator, a reliable ally when it came to the business of the Beltway
