According to the Epoch Times, Baker noted that the 16-page FBI-prepared statement of facts supporting his allegations had “a couple” of inaccuracies and concentrated almost exclusively on his statements on January 6 rather than his actions on that day.

FBI investigators used a video that Baker had shot on YouTube the evening of January 6, in which he said to a friend that he felt like this in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office being looted: “It couldn’t happen to a more deserving [expletive].”
“There’s nothing in there about my behavior,” To The Epoch Times, Baker said. “It’s all about my words. Everything. It’s all about stuff I said before, stuff I said after, and that’s it. No more complicated than that.”
Steve Baker has a compelling argument. This is a reprisal for revealing unfavorable reports that cast doubt on possible federal cooperation and coordination with the events of January 6.
His most shocking report was on the pipe bomb threat that occurred at the Democratic National Committee headquarters during an enigmatic visit from Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. Although the supposedly inert “dummy bomb” was at the DNC overnight, it was discovered just ten minutes before the Electoral College election challenges began. Both the DNC headquarters and a Cannon building were evacuated.
The incident is difficult to explain because surveillance footage from the DNC building shows that Kamala Harris’s Secret Service detail and the Washington, D.C., Municipal Police Department reacted to the reported “bomb threat” with reckless disregard for the safety of onlookers, including small children. However, as the FBI would subsequently, and incorrectly, allege, a robot dog was then used to disable the purportedly “viable” gadget.
Baker’s startling addition to the tale is that, according to congressional sources, the individual who “discovered” the inert pipe bomb at the DNC is a plainclothes Capitol Police officer.
Another significant story that Steve Baker broke that put him in the sights of influential Capitol Hill politicians was that, according to video surveillance, Special Agent David Lazarus, the former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s security chief, appears to have given a false account of what happened on January 6.
The alleged false testimony ultimately contributed to the Oath Keeper defendants’ conviction for “seditious conspiracy,” which is the closest the federal government has come to convicting a defendant for “insurrection.” As a result, Stewart Rhodes, the founder of Oath Keepers, received the longest prison sentences of any J6 defendant to date (18 years), and Kelly Meggs received the shortest (12 years). After being found guilty on separate charges, Jessica Watkins and Keith Harrelson received sentences of eight and a half and four years in jail, respectively.
InfoWars’ Owen Shroyer, who was sentenced to 60 days in prison for his conviction on January 6, accused the Biden administration of being behind Steve Baker’s arrest.
“I knew Democrats would arrest more journalists after my sentencing & incarceration,” Shroyer wrote on X. “I did spend some time in jail & cuffs when I turned myself in but was let out later that day. I hope the same for [Steve Baker], but this doesn’t look good. Will Republicans in Congress stay silent again & let this continue?”
The Biden administration has come under fire from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for implementing police state strategies.
“The Biden regime just arrested journalist Steve Baker for covering Jan6,” she said. “Owen Shroyer was locked up as well. Free Press is dead in America when the government jails journalists who refuse to report the regime’s political agenda and lies.”
Blaze Media founder Glenn Beck called Baker’s arrest and perp walk “unbelievable.”
“I’m experiencing a day I never thought I would experience in America. A company I founded is under attack by the government,” remarked Beck on his show’s Friday airing.
J. Michael Waller pointed out that on January 6, a reporter for the New York Times had done almost the same thing as Baker and had not been prosecuted.
“The fifth person through a broken window to enter the Capitol was a New York Times journalist and they are not being charged,” He referenced a podcast with Glenn Beck.
“Steve Baker did not enter through a broken window,” Waller added. “He entered through an open door.”
As everything was going on, hundreds of protesters gathered in Putin’s Russia to pay tribute to opposition leader and journalist Alexei Navalny, who passed away at the Polar Wolf prison colony under dubious circumstances.
How long before we witness similar large-scale demonstrations in our own nation in response to independent journalists being detained as political prisoners for opposing the Biden administration?
