My read: Baker just got caught in a sting operation with two witnesses. NSA was all over this.

I don't know how its even possible to keep Baker around. There is 0% chance Elon was unaware of who Baker is and wtf that dude has done. In spite of his assertions to the contrary today.
However, how is this a "sting operation" when it is not a criminal act to run interference on a voluntary disclosure? A workplace termination type of offense, yes. But what crime is committed here? I can't think of any.
Agreed. This is not criminal; however, Baker violated the attorney/client privilege . Musk is the client. Baker acted without his client’s consent. Also, Musk has the power to waive the A/C privilege for anything related to Twitter. I think there is more to come. Bigger booms inbound!
I hadn’t considered it from the attorney-client privilege angle. But Baker’s client is Twitter, not musk. Which is an important distinction. And he probably has always had autonomy to act where he sees fit. Also, that is more a fiduciary duty than privilege. So unless he has been given specific instructions and has defied them, I am not sure that this is the issue.
Additionally, I think Musk bought twitter’s assets, and formed a new corporation to put them in. Which means Musk might own this info, but any privilege belongs to the old twitter. This would make a good law school final exam in professional responsibility class. Would probably stump the prof.
Musk owns Twitter.
I am aware he owns it. But baker is employed by twitter. Twitter consists of more people than just Elon. Baker is general counsel to twitter the fictitious corporate entity. Not the owner of the fictitious corporate entity.
Privilege in attorney-client privilege belongs to the client, not the lawyer. It also applies to communications involving legal advice. Nothing more. In a civil context, for example, if you represent a person who was at fault in a car accident, and that person tells you a fact that he/she was indeed on their cell phone during the accident…that is not protected by attorney client privilege. If you are sent discovery asking if you were on your phone, it is unethical for the lawyer to allow the client to reply with a denial. You know as a lawyer this is false. And this admission is not protected by attorney client privilege.
That same scenario would change if the client asked the lawyer “what are the implications of me being on my phone at the time of the accident?” That communication is seeking legal advice and would be protected. Always remember that when you are talking to a lawyer, the only thing protected are communications seeking legal advice on a matter. Don’t tell your lawyer you were on the phone. Ask your lawyer what the implications would be. Good lawyers can read between the lines. And you can rest comfortably knowing you don’t have to rat yourself out and your lawyer doesn’t have to lie.
Just wish it was more organized but that's OK I have patience
How does one bring evidence into trial? I agree with you. The fact he hide stuff is showing panic, definitely part of the corruption.
If one sells a car to another and the one that sold it has a friend who steals the radio after it is sold.
Is that a crime? Is the information have value?
Lots of speculation. The fact is he got fired and hopefully down the road we see him spill the beans.
The note about 2 witnesses to the same overt act is a requirement for treason?
Destroying evidence in a potential criminal investigation.
