I don't know much about Jim Baker, but wasn't he defending the Bush admin policies too?
Anybody remember Ben warning about Baker leaving govt entirely in 2007? Bc some surveillance programs Ben has vigorously defended went in place immediately thereafter.https://twitter.com/benjaminwittes/status/944169343750950913 …

He was about where Comey was. He prevented part of Stellar Wind from being reimposed in 2006. When he left they immediately reimposed it.

Ah OK in need to read more on that... I just saw that Jake Tapper RT'd wittes full throated defense of him. Interesting

Does anybody remember anything from 2007?

As someone who writes about surveillance, yup. I still live it viscerally. Mind you Ben writes about surveillance too, but I guess he forgot 2007.
