REVISED: THE TWITTER FILES ARE A CHALLENGE TO THE RANK AND FILE DEMOCRAT --- IS THIS WHO YOU ARE?
Can someone who hates justice govern? Job 34:17
While doing FaceBook Penance yesterday for having the temerity of offering a sarcastic response to a zealot who insisted that the illegal criminal referral (a good analysis by Alan Dershowitz) of Donald Trump to the DOJ was grounds for referring virtually anyone who ever worked on his campaign or served in his administration or was a Republican member of Congress. I offered that the only appropriate punishment of those noted above - and here is the sarcasm -should include their public lynching in front of the Washington Monument which must necessarily include their cats, dogs, and gold fish.
The FaceBook minders took a dim view of this even though my comment was labeled as “sarcasm” and I was condemned to an entire 24 hours of having my account suspended. Woe is me.
I used that time to do some much needed editing of the original Letter and to add a section on the DOJ/FBI’s official response to the Twitter Files — its a hoot.
The revised Letter follows.
Thank you for your understanding.
The release of the so-called “Twitter Files” (eight as of yesterday) reveal illegal collusion between Twitter, a private entity, and the U.S. Department of Justice, through its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Office of The Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and U.S. Military through Central Command.
What exactly did we learn about the nature and extent of this illegal collusion?
We learned that Jack Dorsey, former Twitter owner and CEO built an infrastructure of senior staff (more than 100 employees) comprised of former high ranking employees of the DOJ/FBI. James Baker was among the most prominent. Baker’s FBI work experience included lying to a FISA Court judge to obtain a warrant — an illegal warrant — that allowed the FBI to spy on Carter Page, a Trump campaign figure in hopes that he would reveal information damaging to the 2016 Trump Campaign.
After Donald Trump was elected, Baker was also part of the DOJ team that constructed the debunked and fraudulent “Russia Hoax” — an attempt to destroy the Trump presidency. Some would call this an attempted coup.
In 2020 Baker, now at Twitter and still under the supervision of Jack Dorsey served as a liaison with the FBI in meetings to suppress the NY Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop which contains documentation of his Vice President of the United State father’s corruption: to wit, selling access to the Oval Office to a Ukrainian official of Burisma, the company in which Hunter served as a member of the Board of Directors in office as Vice President of the United States.
When James Baker became an FBI employee he was required to swear to this oath office.
“I, James Baker, will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
And then having taken that oath he promptly ignored it and broke the law by spying on a private citizen, Donald Trump, and by participating in the manufacture of evidence of wrong doing on the part of Donald Trump and by illegally conspiring to suppress evidence of a crime on the part of a former Vice President - Joe Biden. Baker did these things for the sole purpose of damaging Donald Trumps bid to become President of the United States OR to have him removed from office — twice.
As a brief aside, my 30 year career as an Officer in the Commissioned Corps of the US Public Health Service began with that Oath of Office. I can state with all certainty that when I took that Oath I did so knowing that it had expiration date. James Baker would have done well to remember that.
Even though Baker left the FBI he wasn’t finished with abusing his authority.
When Elon Musk purchased Twitter he vowed to release information about Twitter’s involvement in suppressing the NY Post, Hunter Biden laptop story. Having selected several reporters to render internal Twitter documents in a way that could be easily understood by all Twitter users, damning information began to reveal a web of illegal collusion between DOJ and senior Twitter staff. And then, by shear happenstance, it was discovered that all of those files that were being released to Matt Taibbi (Twitter File 1) and Bari Weiss (Twitter File 2) were being screened and filtered by none other than James Baker. Upon learning of Baker’s interference Musk fired him without hesitation.
We have also learned from the Twitter Files that over the course of the relationship between Jack Dorsey’s Twitter and the DOJ/FBI the FBI made regular payments to Twitter which totaled more than $3.4 M of tax payer money in order to continue providing Twitter employees with the names of accounts of US citizens that the DOJ/FBI wanted suspended, filtered or shadow banned.
We have also learned that while Donald Trump was serving as President and fending off the Russia Hoax, Rep. Devin Nunes, CA (R), Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, was trying to determine where the misinformation was coming from. Among other things that Nunes was learning is that Hillary Clinton was involved along with the Democrat National Committee in concocting and paying for the Russia Hoax story.
And now it has been revealed by John Solomon in Just the News that while Nunes was conducting the investigation the DOJ illegally obtained warrants from a secret Grand Jury to spy on his Intelligence Committee staff.
Nunes responded:
—”This is, I believe, unprecedented spying in modern political history at this point, and just sad that it's taken us almost six years to discover it," retired Rep. Devin Nunes said Monday night after Just the News reported that DOJ demanded Google turn over personal email and phone data from at least two senior Intelligence Committee lawyers working for Nunes.—
Put in simpler terms, the DOJ knew that they had participated in concocting the Russia Hoax story and had made illegal payments to third parties to develop false information to implicate a sitting president in a crime that he hadn’t committed. Now the DOJ wanted to know what their overseers on the House Intel Committee knew about their illegal activity. And so the DOJ committed another crime and spied on Devin Nunes’ staff.
The DOJ/FBI Response
Yesterday, the DOJ/FBI responded to the NY POST, a Twitter victim, about the Twitter Files:
“The correspondence between the FBI and Twitter show nothing more than examples of our traditional, longstanding and ongoing federal government and private sector engagements, which involve numerous companies over multiple sectors and industries,” the FBI told The Post in a statement in response to the latest jaw-dropping revelations from the “Twitter Files.”
“As evidenced in the correspondence,” the bureau went on, “the FBI provides critical information to the private sector in an effort to allow them to protect themselves and their customers.
“The men and women of the FBI work every day to protect the American public,” the statement concluded. “It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency.”
This is a stunning statement of misdirection and deceit about an agency that for the last six years has engaged in campaign of conspiring against a presidential candidate, his staff — private citizens all — and then against that same person when he served as the President of the United States.
What is even more stunning is that the DOJ/FBI acknowledge that the Twitter Files are what they are — the truth but yet they call those who posted this information “conspiracy theorists”.

A Brief Note To My Democrat Friends and Fellow Americans.
Everything that I have just described is not conjectured and it is most certainly not a conspiracy theory; it is fact. Documented fact. Facts contained within emails and other internal Twitter communication WITH the FBI and other government sources. Facts produced by those members of a few honest media outlets. Facts, produced by Rep. Devin Nunes and his staff. And everything that you’ve just read about what the DOJ/FBI did is illegal. Period. End of Story. Arrests should be made, perps should walked. Justice should be served.
Don’t believe me? Go to Twitter.com and let Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi), Bari Weiss (@bariweiss), Michael Shellenberger (@shellenbergerMD), and Lee Fang (@lFang) explain it to you. Read the report produced by Devin Nunes who by the way, once the composition of the House shifted to the democrats was subjected to a witch hunt concerning alleged ethics violations — none, of course, were found.
Will there be justice?
That is a sincere question and this is why I’m asking it.
In this country we have a long and proud history of correcting our mistakes when they are brought to our attention. Historically, the media has been that vehicle and we so we relied its members to explain the reason for the Declaration of Independence, the Revolution against the heavy hand of King George, the basis for the Civil War, the First World War, the Second World War, The War on Terror, and every event in between. As Americans we came to trust what we read in newspapers, heard on the radio, and watched on television. But then something happened. Our media became biased. It chose sides. But even then we had a choice.
Knowing that our media had become biased we could still read both sides of an issue and arrive at our own independent conclusion. We were still able to make informed decisions. For example, when Richard Nixon was impeached it was a truly bipartisan effort. His misdeeds in office were clear and undeniable. Quality reportage helped us understand all of it. But all of that has changed.
The news sources that we once relied have chosen one side and one side only and they have found a new way to support their supporters; they withhold information from the public or they simply make stuff up. Case in point. None of the following have printed a single word about the Twitter Files: NBC.com, ABC.NEWS.go.com, and cbsnews.com. Not one word. And our own Department of Justice has been complicit ins suppressing information via their illegal association with tech giants Twitter, FaceBook (Meta), and Google.
As I stated in the title of this Letter, I have a challenge for rank and file Democrats. The “independent voter” can join in.
Is this who you are?
Are you a person who supports a government who treats one side of the political aisle with complete injustice, spies on its citizens and tries to overthrow a duly elected president?
Or are you a person who still holds dear the American defining quality of fairness and EQUAL treatment and the concept of innocent till proven guilty?
Are you a person who believes that in politics anything goes?
OR are you a person who believes that when our government weaponizes itself against one party or another and its supporters that it is an inherently destructive event that needs to be corrected?
So here is my challenge.
Look in mirror and let me know which of those people you are.
If you are a conservative I ask that you share this Letter with your independent and liberal friends. I also ask that you examine your own conscience and ask yourselves this: What would I do if I discovered that it was my party doing these things?
