Since taking over Twitter, Elon Musk has tried opening social media up to public scrutiny.

He has been releasing documents surrounding Twitter’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, which some believe changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

Musk discovered that the suppression continued clandestinely under his nose. According to the New York Post, he swiftly rectified the situation.

“Elon Musk has fired Twitter’s deputy general counsel, James Baker, over his alleged suppression of internal documents about blocking The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop exposé.

“’ 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 tweeted Tuesday.

“Musk added that he questioned Baker before his firing about the events surrounding the laptop suppression scandal and that the lawyer’s explanation was ‘unconvincing.’

“Baker, a former top FBI lawyer, was discovered to be secretly vetting the internal Twitter documents before they could be reviewed by journalists, leading to a delay in the release of more material related to the company’s censorship scandal.”

It turns out that Baker has a conflict of interest concerning scandals related to both President Biden and former President Donald Trump.

“Baker was previously general counsel for the FBI under former Director James Comey and a key figure in the bureau’s investigation into false claims of collusion between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

“During his time at the FBI, Baker worked with fiercely anti-Trump FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.

“After leaving the bureau in 2018, Baker reportedly found himself under criminal investigation for allegedly leaking materials to reporters.”

Twitter hired Baker in June 2020 amid a controversy surrounding a Trump tweet claiming that mail-in ballots would lead to a rigged election. The social media giant labeled the tweets as “misinformation.”

Baker was also involved in the suppression of the Hunter laptop story, which the FBI had claimed was filled with hacked Russian disinformation. Twitter suppressed the story and even suspended the accounts of Twitter users who tried to link to the story, which ran in the New York Post.

The Post Millennial reported that after the 2020 presidential election, the media admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop story was accurate. “it was revealed that nothing about the story was false, hacked, or misinformation, and that the social media platforms, which essentially operate as the American newsstand, had censored information that was essential for the American public. Polls after the election showed that many Americans would likely not have voted for Biden had they known about the laptop’s contents.”
