Steve Baker, investigator journalist who works for the theBlaze, has been ordered to turn himself in to the FBI Dallas office tomorrow, Friday March 1, 2024.

HERE.
In essence, Baker was one of the six journalists that were first given the famed 40,000 hours of the J6 tapes. Since then he has shown many examples of how .gov used this event to arrest, incarcerate, and convict protesters from that day to be inaccurate of charges. He has been warned by the FBI on several occasions from publishing what he has found out. Earlier this week his attorney was notified that he must turn himself into the FBI this Friday at 0700 local time in Dallas, Texas wearing no more than a t-shirt, shorts, and flipflops.
Baker told Blaze News he's been instructed to turn himself in at the agency's field office at 7 a.m. wearing "shorts and sandals" ? which he said signals that the plan likely is to go for "humiliation" and place him in an orange jumpsuit, handcuff him, and do the "prisoner transport routine."
He added that after he's taken to the Dallas courthouse, he'll appear at a 10 a.m. hearing before a federal magistrate.
"They didn?t have to go this route," Baker told Blaze News on Tuesday evening. "We have been told that my charges are only misdemeanors. And my attorneys have been assured that this will be an ?in and out? affair with 'no intention' to detain me. But rather than issuing a simple order to appear, they went the 'arrest warrant' route." - theBlaze
Apparently, it is easier for the jailors to have him dress in an orange jumpsuit, and put leg irons on to have him appear before a charge.
At this date, Baker nor his attorneys know what his charge will be, however, like other J6ers, he suspects in will be several misdemeanor counts revolving around trespassing in a secure area.
Reaching out to folks in the know..."Why are folks charged with non violent misdemeanor crime being put in leg irons?"
