James Baker involved or connected to...

Carter Page FISA warrant / Crossfire Hurricane / Trump-Alpha Bank Hoax

In December 2017, he was replaced as general counsel and reassigned to a different position within the FBI.[4] It was revealed in April 2018, that he was a recipient of at least one Comey memo.[5] In May 2018, Baker resigned from the FBI and joined the Brookings Institution as a fellow, writing for the justice-focused blog, Lawfare.[6] In January 2019, Baker left Brookings to become director of national security and cybersecurity at the R Street Institute think-tank.[7]

On May 10, 2019, Baker was interviewed for a taped Lawfare podcast, a justice-focused blog, during which he discussed his role in the FBI investigation of events during the 2016 presidential election that would be taken over by Robert S. Mueller III. Previously Baker had refrained from making public comment. He stated that he felt compelled to speak publicly now that the report is public and being characterized adversely by Trump and some members of his administration.[22]

In September 2021, Special Counsel John Durham indicted Michael Sussmann, a partner for the law firm Perkins Coie, alleging he falsely told Baker during a September 2016 meeting that he was not representing a client for their discussion. Durham alleged Sussman was actually representing "a U.S. Technology Industry Executive, a U.S. Internet Company and the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign." Sussmann focuses on privacy and cybersecurity law and had approached Baker to discuss what then appeared to be suspicious communications between computer servers at the Russian Alfa-Bank and the Trump Organization. Sussmann had represented the Democratic National Committee regarding the Russian hacking of its computer network. Sussmann's attorneys denied he was representing the Clinton campaign and he pleaded not guilty to the charge.[23][24][25] Sussmann would later be found not guilty by a jury.

However, there is a James Baker connection to the 2020 election hack that is rather obscure. Below is a Mary Fanning statement mentioning Baker during an interview on 08/22/22 by Mike Lindell and Brannon Howse on Lindell's The Lindell Report program on https://frankspeech.com/ :

Mary Fanning: "So, what happened was, as part of Montgomery's immunity agreement he had to give FBI General Counsel James Baker and FBI Director James Comey, he had to hand over the source code for both sets, the prismatic and SCORECARD. So when he handed that over, this is a very smart guy, he put an electronic marker. So if they ever took the SCORECARD source code that he gave the FBI, and if they ever used it or transferred it any place, he would see the electronic marker. So when we were watching the election being stolen the night of the election and Montgomery saw China had the source code of SCORECARD that he had given our own FBI. Someone had given it to China. And that was what they were using to steal the election."
