Why James Baker was fired from Twitter
[Twitter] 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.
We can now tell you part of the reason why. On Tuesday, Twitter Deputy General Counsel (and former FBI General Counsel) Jim Baker was fired. Among the reasons? Vetting the first batch of "Twitter Files" — without knowledge of new management.
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.
Over the weekend, while we both dealt with obstacles to new searches, it was @BariWeiss
who discovered that the person in charge of releasing the files was someone named Jim. When she called to ask "Jim’s" last name, the answer came back: "Jim Baker."

"My jaw hit the floor," says Weiss.
