Twitter ablaze as Elon Musk fires lawyer involved in suppressing laptop story, ‘Russian collusion hoax’
FOX NewsAUG 2022
Scandal seems to follow Baker wherever he works. While at the FBI, he was prominent during the crooked attempt to establish ties between Russia and then-candidate Trump during the 2016 election. Now we find out he was involved in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story, which would've benefitted Trump if it was more widely released. Baker had to go.
What’s been released so far of the “Twitter Files” has been less than scandalous — only revealing that Twitter had numerous healthy debates over content moderation and fielded requests from both sides of the political aisle. Nothing tying Pres. Biden to nefarious deals done by Hunter has been uncovered. If Musk wanted Baker gone, fine, but it had nothing to do with Republicans’ onslaught of conspiracy theories.
Elon Musk has orchestrated this distraction to take attention away from how hate speech has proliferated on Twitter since his takeover. We shouldn't let him get away from facing tough questions on the rising volume of anger, hate and antisemitism on the platform, and how Twitter's let it happen.
