   Twitter ignited upon the news Tuesday that CEO Elon Musk booted former   
   FBI general counsel James Baker from the company for "suppression" of   
   information.   
      
   Journalist Matt Taibbi, who revealed the "Twitter Files" on Friday,   
   shared an article about the now-ousted Twitter deputy general counsel   
   Baker's connections to FBI controversies involving the Trump-Russia   
   probe.    
      
   The article, from New York Post opinion writer Jonathan Turley, said   
   that Baker was "at the center of the Twitter suppression scandal."   
   Turley also observed, "Baker has been featured repeatedly in the   
   Russian investigations launched by the Justice Department, including   
   the hoax involving the Russian Alfa Bank."   
      
   Musk responded to Taibbi's tweet of the article by announcing that   
   Baker had been removed from the company entirely.   
      
   "In light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of   
   information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from   
   Twitter today," Musk tweeted.
