Former FBI Lawyer Who Approved FISA Warrant To Spy On Trump Helped Censor Hunter Biden Laptop Story

James Baker, the former FBI lawyer involved in approving the faulty Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant used to spy on the Trump campaign, also helped censor the Hunter Biden laptop story, according to a series of tweets posted by Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi.

Twitter CEO Elon Musk released the so-called “Twitter Files” Friday afternoon, detailing how the social media platform suppressed a New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020. The Daily Caller News Foundation verified the authenticity of the laptop soon after the NY Post published the story. The Twitter data released Friday shows executives working with Biden officials to suppress the story, according to Taibbi.

Baker, who served as Twitter’s Deputy General Counsel at the time, argued it was “reasonable to assume” the materials “may have been” hacked and said “caution is warranted,” according to Taibbi’s tweets.

“I support the conclusion that we need more facts to assess whether the materials were hacked. At this stage, however, it is reasonable for us to assume that they may have been and that caution is warranted,” Baker wrote in an email, according to Taibbi. “There are some facts that indicate that the materials may have been hacked, while there are others indicating that the computer was either abandoned and/or the owner consented to allow the repair shop to access it for at least some purposes.”

Trump recognizes we are in the midst of a Constitutional crises.

The Constitution was set aside to get Biden elected.

Fully half of the population had their 1st amendment rights removed by the government. Voter suppression on a huge coordinated scale.

In 1976, a District Court in New York heard a case alleging voter fraud in several urban locations.

The court’s opinion maintained that federal courts had a role to play in ensuring free and fair presidential elections, arguing: “It is difficult to imagine a more damaging blow to public confidence in the electoral process than the election of a President whose margin of victory was provided by fraudulent registration or voting, ballot-stuffing or other illegal means.”

Organized election theft should be a capital crime.

Arrest. Prosecute. Convict. Sentence. Execute.

My understanding is that district court judgments do not suffice as precedent to form case law.

FBI has:

Hunter laptop
Weiner laptop
Seth Rich laptop
Record re Benghazi
Clinton server info
All Epstein records and tapes

And that is just for starters.

Oh! - yes, and they also have Melania underwear and Trump files.

No wonder they fear him.

The New York Times as well as the Washington Post had no compunction publishing stolen top secret documents in the past even after the government advised them they were stolen and it was in the national security interests of the country not to publish them. The Pentagon Papers stolen by government employee Daniel Ellsberg, Julian Assange’s docs stolen by Manning that compromised overseas intelligence operatives and published by the Post. Yet, the media grew a conscience when the information was in conflict with the DNC and social/mainstream media’s agenda to protect their candidate

I kept adding faces to this composite during 2017. This was my April 2018 Russian Collusion Hoax face chart. Note James Baker bottom center.

How many of these Rats will ever serve a day in jail? Probably none.

The Deep State / Globo Homo cabal runs our formerly free nation. Our "red vs blue" sham elections are just to keep the proles from rebelling.

Looks like the FBI is in the business of protecting certain politicians.
