Another day, another leaker has been exposed. This time it’s James Baker, who has been fired from his job as head of the FBI’s Office of General Counsel. Not only was James Baker one of the main leakers while James Comey was head of the FBI, he also kept in touch with sexual harasser and leftist nut job David Corn during the 2016 campaign. David Corn is the main egghead at far left Mother Jones and is an NBC contributor.

The GOP sources said the documents — made available recently to lawmakers by the Department of Justice — revealed that James Baker, the FBI’s general counsel, communicated with Mother Jones reporter David Corn in the weeks leading up to the November 2016 election. Corn was the first to report the existence of the dossier on Oct. 31 and that it was compiled by a former high-level western spy.
The Washington Post reported Thursday that Baker had been reassigned within the FBI, though the reason for the move was unclear.
Corn denied that Baker was a source for his story on the dossier.
“I’m not going to discuss my sources. But in order to prevent the dissemination of inaccurate information, I will say that James Baker was not my source for this story,” he said in a statement to POLITICO.
