FBI official transferred after whistleblower allegations of political bias, senator reveals

The name Thibault is familiar to me in connection with the State Department, I believe going back many years to some famous historic cases (need to verify some details before I add a more specific recollection on that). There are also a number of Thibaults prominent in the intelligence community, both in FBI and CIA. Often involved in Middle Eastern and/or counterintelligence matters. Some recent examples:

Wray IS “deeply troubling” and corrupt, incompetent and an “existential threat” to America.

Misc stuff:

Hoover didn’t want to publicly acknowledge the Mafia so as the keep his agents from getting involved, thus making them vulnerable to large bribes for them protecting it.

The Mafia didn’t want the FBI to go after them which is why they didn’t deal in narcotics with one or two exceptions. In one weird, more modern case, the NY mob put out a “hit” on the son of a Mafia higher up but the kid stayed one step ahead of them by fleeing back and forth between various states.

Finally the hit was called off on the condition that he be forced to get treatment.

* I worked privately with a congressman’s investigator whom was investigating communist infiltration and control of the DC Washington Teachers Union. He was one of the IRS agents who nailed Al Capone on income tax evasion, the only charge and conviction he ever went to jail on.

* As I have mentioned before, I worked for or knew the best of the Cold War counterspy Bureau agents and CIs. They were brave, determined and honorable men (and women). And dampened good at their trade.

* One of my professors was the FBI agent who received the first call from George Daesch, the German saboteur, who landed from a sub with others in NY/NJ and later Florida during WW2. Great man and teacher. His brother was also an FBI agent, as was one of my other professors who taught Criminal Law/Evidence and Procedure. Smart as a whip.

* Worked with another agent and local law enforcement officials to track down and arrest a self-proclaimed interstate drug dealer. Got the bastard.

The FBI did a good job of helping to round-up Nazi espionage and sabotage rings in Latin America. You can see a sanitized version in the movie, “The FBI Story” starring James Stewart, himself a decorated Ww2 hero and one B52 bombing raid in Vietnam.

The Democrats, aided by the Communists within it in Congress and in their fronts, aided by such turncoat as Sen. Frank Church and Ted Kennedy, were directly responsible for the beginning of the decline of the FBI by appointing weak or incompetent directors when they controlled Congress from Carter to Obama and now Biden.

There are still good men and women in the Bureau and some are now the “new whistleblowers” who will bring down the traitorous and incompetent regimes of Hillary, Obama and the braindamaged Biden Criminal Family.
