It has been revealed that FBI lawyer James Baker, a serious Russiagate hoaxster, was working at Twitter and was involved in cockblocking documents from being handed over to journalists at Elon Musk’s direction.
Basically, he was ostensibly released from the FBI in 2017 after getting caught leaking everything to the press to try to hurt Donald Trump. He was hired by Twitter in 2020, apparently working in the capacity of an FBI agent. He was still working at the company after Elon Musk took over. When Elon Musk told the legal team to pass all the Twitter censorship conspiracy documents to journalists, Baker was reviewing the documents and deciding what would be handed over.
It’s very clear that this is why there was no mention of the FBI in the first batch of revelations.
HOLY SHLIT MATT TAIBBI JUST SAID FBI COUNSEL JAMES BAKER WAS 'VETTING' THE TWITTER FILES BEFORE ANYONE COULD SEE THEM AND THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE DELAY ON FRIDAY
NOW WE KNOW WHY IT LOOKED LIKE FBI REFERENCES WERE SCRUBBED

Does this sounds like the United States of America or the Soviet Union?
Embed federal law enforcement at media companies,
pressure media to suppress information critical of government officials,
and have regular meetings between government and media…
in the name of safety.

Elon fired him this week and said that all the files should be immediately handed over in bulk.
This comes after there was a hold-up on the second drop of files.
When revealing the Baker surprise, Matt Taibbi, the journalist responsible for printing the documents, gave an update on when the next drop is coming, saying it will hopefully be out this weekend. We can only assume that his batch, having not been censored by the FBI, will be much better.
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.

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.

Reporters resumed searches through Twitter Files material – a lot of it – today. The next installment of “The Twitter Files” will appear @bariweiss. Stay tuned.

I don’t trust Bari Weiss, who is a supposedly “right-wing” Jew, but I assume Taibbi, who I trust, has access to all the same files she has access to.
It’s wild to think the FBI just sends agents to go work in private companies and it’s possible that the CEO of the company doesn’t even know that this is going on.
We really do live in a total matrix.
I can't really see why this would be hard for anyone to believe.
When people talk about "the system," they are talking about "a group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole."
Competent agents will be plugged into many roles. https://t.co/ix04F083vZ
