James Baker was Deputy General Counsel at Twitter lol. His official job was to be involved in exactly these types of decisions. He left the FBI in 2018.
Raise complaints about the revolving door between govt and industry if you want, but this is cut-and-dry not about a government official pressuring a private company. It's about a private company hiring a former government official (years out of service) and then that person doing the job they were hired to do.

You honestly believe that “retired” Intelligence Community members just “retire,” so naive. I’m sure he was hired for his law qualifications and not his IC network, reach, or influence. Did he get read out of every program and give up his clearance upon leaving the FBI? Very doubtful.
