CIA Security Officer Files Lawsuit Against Steve Baker And The Blaze For Identifying Her As J6 Bomber

Steve Baker and The Blaze are being sued by former Capitol Hill police off
# THE TAKE: When Naming Names Becomes Dangerous Business The lawsuit exposes a fundamental tension: institutional power prefers anonymity while demanding transparency from everyone else. Here's what matters: A CIA officer sues over identification, yet her agency routinely identifies foreign nationals without comparable legal remedy. The asymmetry isn't accidental—it's structural. Baker and The Blaze performed basic journalism: connecting public records and video evidence. Whether their conclusions were *correct* is separate from whether naming her was *reckless*. The real story is why a federal employee can hide behind classification claims while mobilizing courts. This sets dangerous precedent. If naming potential suspects becomes actionable defamation, citizen-driven accountability evaporates. The institutional player wins by default. The CIA doesn't sue to establish truth. It sues to establish *who gets to speak*.
What the Documents Show
Cole, Jr., confessed to the crimes. Yesterday, Shauni Kerkoff, who now works for the CIA security office, filed a lawsuit against Steve Baker and The Blaze , claiming Steve Baker was motivated by anger over his arrest for activity in the J6 event where Ms. Kerkoff was present providing security. According to the lawsuit , Steve Baker and The Blaze created a conspiracy theory using Shauni Kerkoff as the target of their claims. This is going to be an interesting lawsuit to watch unfold as there are various types of conspiracy claims similar to Mr Baker that are circulating.

If their claim is false, both Mr Baker and The Blaze could end up in the same financial position as Alex Jones. I suspect this is not going to end well for Steve Baker, The Blaze or Glenn Beck.
