Blaze Reporter Arrested and Perp Walked By FBI in Dallas; Charged With J6 Misdemeanors › American Greatness
Debra Heine


Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker was forced to turn himself in to the FBI field office in Dallas Friday morning over misdemeanor charges related to his January 6 reporting. The reporter was taken into custody, placed in handcuffs and perp-walked to the car that transported him to the Dallas courthouse for a 10:00 am hearing before the magistrate.

He was charged with “entering restricted grounds,” “disorderly conduct,” and “parading and picketing in the Capitol.”

The charges against Baker come after the dogged journalist broke major stories involving U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Capitol Police Special Agent David Lazarus.

“Steve’s actions on January 6 have been known to the Department of Justice for 3 years,” Baker’s attorneys said in a January press release. “But it is only now—after Steve has broken two major stories greatly embarrassing to the DOJ — that he is possibly being targeted for arrest and possibly felony prosecution. Any action taken to put him in handcuffs, hold him in custody, and have him transported to court by federal law enforcement will be nothing other than retaliation for his recent reporting.”

My Friend Steve Baker Was Arrested: Thoughts About Limbaugh, Bowie, Trump, DeSantis -- and yes, American Thinker
By The Ghost

As many of you know by now, The Blaze’s journalist Steve Baker was arrested yesterday by the FBI, put in handcuffs, leg irons, and paraded before a magistrate who read off charges of ... wait for it ... four misdemeanors.

Four FRIGGIN misdemeanors. Charges, not convictions, mind you. Nonetheless: Leg irons. Handcuffs. Hours in a jail cell. The message is clear: you dare go against the government narrative, this could be you.

All that was missing was the bus full of murderers and the out of control train from The Fugitive   I was waiting for them to make him walk The Green Mile

He was ordered to show up in a tee shirt, shorts and flip-flops. Baker instead went FULL White Collar  God Bless him! I mean seriously, it’s hard for me to write about this story without my left index finger constantly hitting the F key! His defiance with the suit was a victory for all of us.
