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. Source: Daily Caller

Donald Trump Slams ‘Corrupt’ U.S. as He Jumps on Musk’s Twitter Reveal

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday weighed in on the report about how Twitter decided to censor a New York Post story involving Hunter Biden’s laptop in the run up to the 2020 presidential election, saying that “we are living in a very corrupt country.”

On Friday, Twitter CEO Elon Musk vowed to reveal “what really happened” with the Hunter Biden laptop story “suppression” after the social media platform blocked users from sharing the newspaper’s article because it violated its distribution of hacked materials policy.

In a series of tweets dubbed the “Twitter files,” independent journalist Matt Taibbi posted a series of internal discussions at the behest of Musk, which allegedly reveal how Twitter staff “at highest levels of the company” made the decision to block the New York Post story, but without the knowledge of then-CEO Jack Dorsey.

CBS News Verifies Hunter Laptop is Authentic

“Just the sheer volume of what we’re dealing with. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to fabricate. It accumulated over time, which is consistent with normal, everyday use of a computer,” conveyed a digital forensic expert hired by CBS News to verify the NY Post original story that was labeled as fake news just weeks before the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.
