ormer Washington Field Office Special Agent in Charge Tim Thibault was reportedly escorted out of the Bureau's headquarters on Friday, amid whistleblower allegations that he showed political bias in his handling of politically sensitive investigations.


quote:

The Washington Times reported eyewitness accounts that "Mr. Thibault was seen exiting the bureau’s elevator last Friday escorted by two or three 'headquarters-looking types.'"

Whistleblowers alleged that Thibault concealed the partisan nature of evidence from FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland to secure their approval to open an investigation into former President Donald Trump. That investigation culminated in the FBI's raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month.



quote:

Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley confirmed to Just the News prior to the raid that Thibault had been removed from his post and reassigned to an unspecified position.

He's probably being promoted and moved to his new office.

You don’t say. Who could’ve predicted the FBI being corrupt and dishonest?

I thought they would’ve gotten their act together after accepting a dirty, fake dossier from the Clinton Campaign as the basis for some of their FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign.

So they raid MAL. Look everything over. Get frustrated. Look again. And again. Find nothing. Then whistleblower.

Then fall guy.

Is this the lead FBI agent that hatched the Stretchen Gretchen kidnapping plan?

IOW, the internal polling on the raid is really, really, bad and they need somebody to blame.

What does an event that is reported to have occurred "prior to" the search have to do with the search?

He's the cat who, earlier in the month, was accused by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee of covering up derogatory info about Hunter Biden while working at the FBI. He also publicly posted anti-Trump Lincoln Project tweets.

He'll probably get a house in Martha's vineyard to keep his mouth shut.

I thought that a-hole's name sounded familiar.

Reminder, according to a whistleblower, Thibault shut down investigative activity related to Hunter Biden and also sought to pad the FBI’s number of “domestic violent extremism” cases.

You know, Gumbo, you have to have the raid, BEFORE inquiring whether all materials have merit and any bias exist.

Sounds like the FBI is trying to get out ahead of the "we may have fricked up"
