Baker “argued with others about why they thought she shouldn’t be charged.”
Former FBI General Counsel James Baker originally believed Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of highly classified information was “alarming” and “appalling.” At the time, he believed her use of a private server to send the classified emails was sufficient enough to secure an indictment to possibly charge her for violations under the Espionage Act, for mishandling sensitive government documents.
Baker held onto that belief until shortly before his former boss FBI Director James Comey made the public announcement not to charge Clinton on July 5, 2017. He said he changed his position only after arguing and discussing the situation over a period of time with senior colleagues at the bureau, to include Comey. Comey, however, had already written an early draft in May, exonerating Clinton and changing “grossly negligent,” a legal term for mishandling classified information to “extremely careless,” according to drafts obtained by the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2017.
Ratcliffe Questions Baker
Under questioning by Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, Baker spoke extensively about the back and forth arguments. Baker is currently under a DOJ investigation for allegedly leaking information to the media and he steered clear of answering any questions regarding leaks.
“As the FBI general counsel, you originally believed it was appropriate, it was appropriate to charge Hillary Clinton with violation of the law for mishandling classified information,” asked Ratcliff, who is with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Baker answered. He described reviewing a classified “binder” containing material related to Clinton’s investigation that contained sensitive and highly classified emails she was transmitting over her semi-secured server. more here
Way to stick to your guns, Baker. They keep telling me that these are Stand Up Guys running the show in DC, but they all seem like Fold Up Guys to me.
Do none of these people know that they can just RESIGN. if they know they’re getting involved with illegal behavior? Or maybe they can’t…does the Deep State cult not allow people to just walk away?
No intent! Dumbass
Jimmie Baker seems to have acquired moralistic integrity…. now that he’s under investigation.
Baker folded just like that guy in Blazing Saddles:

So everyone else thought she was within the law. Yea, right. They’re all in it together. BS The political powers above told them what to do, and justice wasn’t mentioned.
Sessions should be hanged right next to clinton.
Obviously not a reasonable prosecutor.
