Twitter Files 2 drops bombshell about FBI
The FBI's involvement in controlling public discourse online is much, much deeper than you think.

Call me crazy, but I have a belief that once someone is employed as a member of an agency like the FBI, they hold that post for life, in some capacity. It’s especially hard to believe that isn’t the case when you consider James Baker, former general counsel for the FBI, just so happened to find his way to work for Twitter right around the time when the FBI began using social media as a tool to manipulate elections.
That’s right — one of the architects of Russiagate also just so happened to get employed by Twitter only a couple of months before the New York Post was nuked off of social media for publishing the Hunter Biden laptop story. What an absolutely uncanny coincidence.
So who is James Baker? Let’s dig into his background a little bit. Baker started his career as a Fed when he joined the criminal division of the Department of Justice through the Attorney General’s honors program in 1990. This led to him becoming a federal prosecutor with said division’s fraud section. The irony of him obtaining that post will become clear as his story unfolds, but he actually did a little good until he decided to give in to temptation.
In 2004, Baker was the one who effectively ratted out the NSA for wholly bypassing federal screening measures meant to keep the NSA’s surveillance activities in check. His work even led to a temporary suspension of the NSA program. Sadly it wasn’t permanent, but credit should be given where it’s due.
Baker later did a stint with the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review (OIPR), which was responsible for handling FISA warrant requests made by the Justice Department, as well as advising the U.S. intelligence community on legal matters related to their snooping efforts, as if they would follow any laws when they face no repercussions for breaking them. So as you can see, James Baker was practically being crafted for his future role as a snake-in-the-grass.
Baker showed his true colors in 2016 with his involvement in the Steele Dossier hoax, as well as the Russiagate hoax on the whole. He was effectively the middleman that put disgraced Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman in touch with FBI investigators to pass along the bogus claims crafted by the Clinton campaign that Donald Trump was colluding with Russia to win the 2016 Presidential election.
No doubt in an effort to try and save face for the perpetually disgraced FBI, then-new FBI director Christopher Wray ‘reassigned’ Baker in late 2017 to some apparently covert post since there’s no info available on what he did after getting bumped from his post in the bureau.
Baker would eventually ‘resign’ from the FBI in May of 2018 after he was suspected of leaking classified information about the Trump administration to the media.
Given the resume I just laid out, doesn’t in just fit like a glove that he ended up working for Twitter?
Baker joined Twitter in June of 2020 as deputy general counsel for the company, and clearly he went right to work mopping up a mess as the institutional left prepared to do all that was within their power to make sure another Trump victory couldn’t happen.
How did he do that? Well, he just so happened to be employed at the time of the Hunter Biden laptop story being published by the New York Post, and he was perfectly placed to advise Twitter staff on how they should handle that sort of thing, being a “former” FBI guy, and all.
To read more on the fascist alliance of government and Twitter, I did a piece on the last drop of the Twitter files.
Again, I’m not saying that Baker was a double agent inside Twitter placed there by the FBI, but if you find a fox in your henhouse surrounded by a bunch of bloody feathers, and all your hens are strangely missing, you can be forgiven for assuming the worst.
Actually? Fuck that. I am saying that. The FBI infiltrated Twitter and actively suppressed the rights and free speech of users on the platform.
The fox also ate your hens.
Where the most recent ‘drop’ on the Twitter files comes in is the revelation by Matt Taibbi that fellow journalist Bari Weiss, who was also entrusted to disseminate the Twitter files, discovered that the “lawyer who was close to new management” that sent them the initial round of Twitter files was none other than James Baker himself.
Isn’t it a little uncanny that the guy who had a hand in the Hunter Biden fiasco at Twitter to begin with also happens to be the guy in charge of gathering the materials for Weiss and Taibbi at Elon’s request?
Needless to say, when this overt conflict of interest was discovered, Baker’s days at Twitter abruptly came to an end on Tuesday.
So one Hydra head has been removed, how many remain? How many will grow back? I wish I had that information, but now that a hostile actor is no longer in the picture to impede the release of the Twitter files, I think answers will be much more forthright.
Whatever is to come, let’s not worry about Baker unless he finds his way back to rubberstamping bullshit FISA warrants for the DoJ and Merrick Garland. I’m hopeful that his malign influence has at last come to an end.
