DEVELOPING: Rumors circulating in DC that Elon Musk gave the heave ho to former FBI General Counsel Jim Baker, who worked under fired Twitter chief legal counsel Vijaya Gadde. Twitter hired Baker in 2020 after he left the FBI under an ethical cloud for his role in the Russiagate scandal. A subject of Special Counsel John Durham's investigation, Baker has been based in Twitter's DC office. Musk recently called Baker's secret scheming with Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann in the Alfa Bank-Trump "hotline" hoax "pretty bad." Twitter did not reply to inquiries about Baker's current employment status. Baker's LinkedIn page still lists him as:
