   Let’s award 3.14159 stars to Elon Musk for firing Twitter’s lawyer, James   
   Baker, Tuesday.   
      
   But there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered about the   
   role of Baker, the FBI’s former Russiagate protagonist, in — not one, but   
   two — censorship scandals.   
      
   First, having been parachuted into Twitter conveniently five months before   
   the 2020 election as deputy general counsel and vice president, Baker   
   played an instrumental role in the censorship of The Post’s Hunter Biden   
   laptop story in October 2020.   
      
   Second, Baker was involved in the potential suppression of material that   
   Musk ordered released from Twitter’s files last Friday to reveal who was   
   involved in killing The Post’s story and thus preventing derogatory   
   material about candidate Joe Biden from being disseminated widely. The   
   “most important data was hidden [and] may have been deleted,” Musk says.   
      
   When Musk asked Baker what he was up to, “his explanation was . . .   
   unconvincing.”   
      
   Musk claims he realized only Sunday that Baker had intervened to suppress   
   “information important to the public dialogue.”   
      
   But it was obvious Friday that someone had excised mention of the FBI from   
   the “Twitter Files,” and it wasn’t hard to guess who, once you realized   
   Twitter’s lawyer was Baker, who had been the FBI’s top lawyer involved in   
   every one of the bureau’s Russia-collusion plots against Donald Trump.   
   It’s hard not to see his role as a gatekeeper planted at Twitter to ensure   
   information helpful to Trump’s re-election never saw the light of day.   
      
   Jack Dorsey, the genius inventor of Twitter, posed a question Wednesday   
   that cut to the heart of Musk’s halting efforts to expose the truth.   
      
   “If the goal is transparency to build trust,” tweeted Dorsey, who still   
   owns a small stake in the social-media company and quit as CEO last year,   
   “why not just release everything without filter and let people judge for   
   themselves? Including all discussions around current and future actions?   
   Make everything public now.”   
      
   Musk, who paid $44 billion for Twitter in October, leading wags to say he   
   bought a “crime scene, not a company,” replied to his predecessor eight   
   hours later.   
      
   “Most important data was hidden (from you too) and some may have been   
   deleted, but everything we find will be released.”   
      
   Musk’s promise is good news, and it’s a bit rich for Dorsey to be   
   demanding transparency now, when he was in charge in 2020 when Baker was   
   hired and when the subterfuge was occurring ­under his nose.   
      
   But we do need more than haphazard Twitter threads curated by Substack   
   journalist Matt Taibbi, who was deputized by Musk to ­release the Twitter   
   Files.   
      
   Taibbi’s claim that he had seen no “government involvement in the laptop   
   story” rang alarm bells because we know that the FBI “pre-bunked” the   
   laptop story during weekly meetings with Twitter before the election.   
      
   Yoel Roth, Twitter’s then-head of site integrity, has stated in a sworn   
   declaration that the FBI warned them to look out for “hacked” material,   
   likely in October, involving Hunter Biden. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg   
   similarly has admitted the FBI warned Face­book about an impending “dump”   
   of Russian disinformation that “fit the pattern” of The Post’s Hunter   
   Biden story. Time for Zuckerberg to come clean.   
      
   There also is mounting evidence from whistleblowers, and from Senate   
   Republicans, that the FBI colluded with congressional Democrats through   
   2020 to protect Joe Biden from proof of his involvement in his family’s   
   corrupt ­international influence-peddling scheme.   
      
   Sens. Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley have disclosed that they were   
   ambushed by two FBI agents on Aug. 6, 2020, with a bogus “defensive   
   briefing” to “falsely attack [as] Russian disinformation” their   
   investigation into Hunter Biden’s financial connections to China and   
   Ukraine. News of the FBI briefing was then leaked to Democrat-friendly   
   media successfully to discredit, in advance, their accurate and prescient   
   Sept. 23, 2020, report “Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact   
   on U.S. Government Policy and Related Concerns.”   
      
   Three weeks after that report was released and ignored by a media primed   
   by the FBI to believe it was “Russian disinformation” came The Post’s   
   story and its immediate censorship by Face­book and Twitter, citing a new   
   “hacked materials” policy.   
      
   This is why Musk’s promise to reveal the inner workings of the censorship   
   of The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story is so important for mounting a   
   case of FBI corruption.   
      
   We know that Baker weighed in on the side of censorship when Twitter   
   executives were frantically discussing how to handle The Post’s story on   
   Oct. 14, 2020, but we don’t know the full extent of his influence.   
      
   Is there evidence he was communicating with people at the FBI or anyone   
   connected to the Biden campaign? What other evidence is there of FBI   
   interference?   
      
   When the White House was asked about the Twitter Files, press secretary   
   Karine Jean-Pierre airily dismissed the scandal as “old news.”   
      
   The president’s response has been more flagrant. He has been flagrantly   
   parading his son in front of the cameras.   
      
   There was Hunter strolling the streets of Nantucket with his ­father.   
   There he was on the White House balcony watching fireworks. There he was   
   on Marine One returning from a weekend with dad at Camp David, where   
   journalists have no access to visitor logs.   
      
   There he was in a tuxedo at the White House, glad-handing guests at the   
   French state dinner last week, and there he was shmoozing with Hollywood   
   celebrities at the Kennedy Center Honors events Sunday.   
      
   But nothing changes the fact that the FBI credibly now stands accused of   
   interfering in the 2020 election on behalf of Joe Biden and conspiring to   
   violate the First Amendment.   
      
   FBI Director Chris Wray and his boss, Attorney General Merrick Garland,   
   have been oddly silent about this grave allegation.   
      
   If it is not true, they should say so, and reassure millions of concerned   
   Americans that the FBI is not a corrupt arm of the Democratic Party.   
      
   The problem is that the FBI is the lead agency in the US tasked with   
   investigating election interference. So who will investigate the FBI?
