July '18 you said it was "after the election"

Jan '19 you said "a week after I had posted the article on them” - no mention of election

Your article was published on 10-31-16

Baker: Some of the parts that David Corn gave us were parts that we did not have from another source.
As to pursuing a story - and attempting to get confirmation - here's what Baker had to say:
Baker also said he believed that Corn had received his copies of the Steele memos from Glenn Simpson, the head of Fusion GPS:

Mr. Baker: [I] think I assumed at the time or knew, he may have told me, that he got it from Simpson or somebody acting on Simpson’s behalf.

Former FBI general counsel James Baker testified that Rosenstein said 2 Trump cabinet members were willing to invoke the #25thAmendment to remove Trump from office.
Q: Was he joking?
BAKER: This was not a joking sort of time. This was pretty dark.

#Maddow
Q: Who else was concerned that TRUMP fired Comey to obstruct the FBI's investigation?

Former FBI General Counsel James Baker. Baker reportedly told Congress last week that Rosenstein was “serious” when 👉🏼he proposed secretly recording the president to try to gain damaging information about him.👈🏼

If this isn’t subversion what is? foxnews.com/opinion/gregg-…
Rosenstein allegedly also talked about soliciting others to secretly record the president.

According to Baker, Rosenstein was also “serious” when he discussed recruiting Cabinet members to depose Trump under the 25th Amendment, in what would amount to an attempted palace coup.😏
The fact Rosenstein is still in power and enabling a farce of an investigation and maintains full security clearances with access to all manner of info raises questions:

🐘Did Rosenstein or one of his anti-Trump allies spy on Trump🐘
🐘Is Rosenstein blackmailing Trump🐘

"Former FBI general counsel James Baker met during the 2016 season with at least one attorney from Perkins Coie, the Democratic National Committee's private law firm." This is so vague thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…
"Baker was interviewed by lawmakers behind closed doors on Wednesday. Sources declined to divulge his testimony, other than to say it confirmed other evidence about the contact between the Perkins Coie law firm and the FBI."

So vague. So vague. What even is this?
"The sources also said Baker's interview broke new ground both about the FBI's use of news media in 2016 and 2017 to further the Trump case and about Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's conversations in spring 2017 regarding possible use of a body wire to record Trump."
