Elon Musk to drop Twitter files on NY Post-Hunter Biden laptop censor today

[catfish1957]

And he is near and dear to my heart because he uses the liberals and their toys against them, like with this file drop (hopefully more to come.)

I wish him he best in protecting himself.  I know he can afford the best safety money can buy, but when you have just incurred the wrath of the highest levels of government, it is just a matter of time Biden and his cronies unleash the full power of the CIA, FBI, NSA, IRS, and likely many other nefarious covert groups.

That is why he sent a tongue in cheek Tweet, that he is not suidcidal.   He alone is the one person in this country in most peril.   That happens when you almost single handedly can bring down the most corrupt government in history.

51 “intelligence” officials told the American people that Hunter Biden’s laptop was fake.

Social media censorship isn’t the only problem.

I think that he has probably given this a great deal of thought and has made back-ups to all of this information with instructions to a very trusted person if not several people perhaps outside this country to continue the release of information.

I'm hoping that there are those who will be courageous enough to begin to stand up with him.

Really I would be more impressed if Musk just dropped the insider emails for all of us to dissect.

Yeah, the drip, drip, drip Tweeting format is tedious and frustrating.  Just dump it all out to the public like Wikileaks and let the chips fall where they may!

Everything the FBI warned about Russian election interference, the corrupt agency actually did.

Yoel Roth said he had "weekly meetings" with FBI, DHS, etc. throughout 2020 and was warned to look out for "hacked" material involving Hunter Biden. Even if no state actor directly intervened in the censorship action, it's a red herring: he was already primed to do their bidding.

On Friday, the first installment of the Twitter files was published here. We expected to publish more over the weekend. Many wondered why there was a delay.

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.

The process for producing the “Twitter Files” involved delivery to two journalists (Bari Weiss and me) via a lawyer close to new management. However, after the initial batch, things became complicated.

Baker is a controversial figure. He has been something of a Zelig of FBI controversies dating back to 2016, from the Steele Dossier to the Alfa-Server mess. He resigned in 2018 after an investigation into leaks to the press.

The news that Baker was reviewing the “Twitter files” surprised everyone involved, to say the least. New Twitter chief Elon Musk acted quickly to “exit” Baker Tuesday.

This goes back to what I put out on Saturday

Yoel Roth had already *publicly declared* to the FEC that they censored the Hunter laptop at the guidance of the FBI

So why wasn't that in the Twitter Files?

Bc Baker scrubbed it, that's why

Musk or someone needs to pursue that. I doubt Baker acted alone.

The FBI no longer is just the USA's gestapho that can wantonly raid ex-POTUS residencies.  They've also become the filter for the state controlled media via  their office of legal council.

I'd say the takeover is near complete.  Bow to your police state.

Elon Musk fires Twitter deputy general counsel Jim Baker amid Hunter Biden laptop fallout
Fox Business, Dec 6, 2022

Elon Musk said that Twitter's former Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker was "exited" from the company on Tuesday after revelations about his role in the platform's handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Baker was involved in discussions about whether the laptop falls under Twitter's "hacked materials" policy.

"I support the conclusion that we need more facts to assess whether the materials were hacked," Baker wrote in one email chain. "At this stage, however, it's reasonable for us to assume that they may have been and that caution is warranted."

Baker was responding to a Twitter executive who was wondering whether they could "truthfully claim" that the laptop story was "part of the policy."

Before joining Twitter, Baker worked as general counsel at the FBI, where he was involved in the bureau's investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Taibbi said Tuesday that he and another journalist, Bari Weiss, were dealing "with obstacles to new searches" when Weiss discovered that Baker was responsible for releasing the files over the weekend.

"The news that Baker was reviewing the 'Twitter files' surprised everyone involved, to say the least," Taibbi

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told "Fox & Friends First" on Monday that the House Oversight Committee will likely call Baker and other Twitter executives to testify about their handling of the laptop story.

"Baker and [former Twitter executive] Vijaya Gadde are probably the two most high-profile Twitter employees that we want to hear from," Comer said. "My advice to them is, prior to coming before the Oversight Committee in January or February, as quick as we can get them in front of the oversight committee, is they need to look very hard to try to find evidence as to why they suppressed this story."

Baker could not immediately be reached for comment on Tuesday.

Baker was trying to keep his fingers in the dam, but he made a tactical error because a highly visible, controversial story just got that much more so, and now everybody is really going to be focusing in on that.

So what could have been buried in the dump, is now going to be The Dump.

Why is anyone surprised?

The surprise to me is that he wasn't included in the first wave of firings.
