Some decent speculation on why Baker was reassigned

It might all revolve around Comey's firing and making sure there's a solid obstruction case. Seems like reasonable speculation to me, especially considering who is speculating: a former FBI Special Agent, Counterintelligence Division.

him. In McCabes case his wife was supported by a Clinton pack when she stood for election...Trump actually attacked him on that and asked him how he voted. Trump is a criminal who needs to go.
