We brought you the news on Tuesday that Jim Baker had been fired from Twitter because he was looking at the Twitter files allegedly without the knowledge of the management.

We can now tell you part of the reason why. On Tuesday, Twitter Deputy General Counsel (and former FBI General Counsel) Jim Baker was fired. Among the reasons? Vetting the first batch of “Twitter Files” – without knowledge of new management.

Musk said the firing was because of a possible role in the “suppression” of information.

In light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from Twitter today

Musk termed Baker’s explanation for his actions “unconvincing.”

Yes. His explanation was …unconvincing.

That would seem to be pretty big news for the media and possibly involve more cover-up, especially when “suppression” is mentioned.

But instead of diving in to investigate it further, what you got from liberal media on social media was a defense of Baker and an attack on Musk and Taibbi for wanting transparency and bringing this to light.

Some claimed as an attorney it would be normal for a lawyer to look at the files before they go out.

Look, if your "jaw hits the floor" when you find out that one of the company's senior lawyers is reviewing documents that are being handed over to journalists in an act of self-sabotage by the company's owner/CEO… you're not a good journalist.

That might be true — but only if the boss/client gave you permission to do so, which doesn’t seem to have been given here, based upon the comments from Matt Taibbi and Musk. Not to mention Baker’s involvement in all the FBI drama surrounding the Steele dossier, Alfa Bank, and the FISA warrants. That raises questions about what he was trying to do.

But not only did some try to spin Baker looking at the files, but they also claimed that Musk and Taibbi talking about the files was somehow inciting harassment against “former employees.”

Taibbi, and by extension Musk, is basically inciting harassment and potentially against another former Twitter employee now. An employee who was apparently only just fired.

Not only that but here comes the ridiculous Ben Collins with another wacky conspiracy theory.

Elon's team is just creating new Main Characters for Fox News to accuse of treason by implying they did some sort of high crime but never actually saying what the crime is.

This is about creating pariahs to launch a mob against in order to, ironically, suppress their speech. https://t.co/OfcOUpvv7S

Talk about turning reality on its head. “Treason,” “mob” — where’s the evidence that Musk and Taibbi even did any such thing? Answer: they didn’t. The “evidence is made-up in this twisted guy’s mind. I guess now firing someone equals “inciting harassment” against them. This isn’t “journalism”; it’s advocacy.

Collins followed up with this rant. What secret emails is he even talking about?

You’ll remember this from Hillary’s Emails, Podesta’s Emails, Benghazi, Wikileaks:

It’s the constant insinuation that “secret emails” MUST be nefarious because they’re not public.

It allows right-wing influencers to project whatever they want into the Secret Email Mystery Box.

How desperate is the spin? This desperate — trying to turn Baker the former FBI General Counsel and Twitter Deputy Counsel into a “private,” “random” citizen.

Previously, private citizens were collateral damage in these sorts of infowar campaigns.

But now private citizens appear to be the very target of them: random people inside a company they can blame for societal change they don’t like, citing an email they think is too neolib.

— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) December 6, 2022

Talk about disinformation given who is being discussed — hardly a random citizen.

Now, more information is coming out from the AFL about a secret Twitter portal U.S. officials used to flag things to censor regarding COVID. Matt Taibbi has said more Twitter files are coming.

Bottom line? Collusion between the Democrats/government and Twitter to suppress information is a huge story. You can try to spin all you want. Media can spin, but they can’t stop the information from coming out.
