Baker was on the MCA board from January 4, 1985, to March 2, 1987, when he resigned to accept the position of chief of staff to President Ronald Reagan. He returned to MCA's board of directors in March 1989, just months after the FBI wiretaps on MCA had been shut down (Fall 1988).1
Edwin Meese, William F. Weld, and Arnold Burns complained to Baker about Meese's conduct. Weld stated that his superiors often asked if he could not close pending investigations of Meese's friends. Baker urged Weld and Burns to remain on staff, but they, along with four top aides, resigned from the Justice Department on March 30, 1988, in an unprecedented mass exit.1
