The Lawfare Podcast Bonus Edition: Jim Baker on the Russia Investigation
On May 10, the Brookings Institution hosted a public conversation between R Street’s Jim Baker, former FBI General Counsel, and Brookings Senior Fellow Benjamin Wittes. The conversation was recorded live as a Bonus Edition of the Lawfare Podcast. The conversation covered how the FBI thought about the Russia investigation in those fateful months both before and after the president fired FBI Director James Comey. How did the president’s conduct toward the bureau impact the institution? How does it affect career public servants like Baker? And how does Baker feel now about the president and his conduct after reading the Mueller report?
