Baker details the systematic underpreparing of Capitol Police before January 6th. Frontline officers had their helmets collected two weeks earlier and were never told that six protest permits had been issued for the Capitol grounds. On a day policy required all-hands double-shift coverage, fewer than 250 of 2,000 uniformed officers were on duty. Baker describes standing at the front line filming young officers with fear in their eyes and no protective gear, facing a crowd of hundreds of thousands. He calls them sacrificial pawns — deployed to create a confrontation that would look like an insurrection. He notes Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarek Johnson called his wife to say goodbye, believing he was going to die. The Capitol Police's CDU and intelligence units, Baker argues, were running the operation from above, while the frontline officers were genuine victims of it.

Baker's Prosecution: Charged with Racketeering for Journalism

The DOJ initially threatened to charge Baker with interstate racketeering because he licensed his J6 videos to HBO and the New York Times. After a press offensive, they went silent for 20 months before arresting him on four misdemeanors — and the judge used the sentencing hearing to attack Baker's journalism rather than anything he did at the Capitol.
