FBI special agent who opened Trump investigation reportedly escorted out of Bureau headquarters

"Mr. Thibault was seen exiting the bureau’s elevator last Friday escorted by two or three "headquarters-looking types.'"

Former 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.

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.

The public release of the affidavit that accompanied the search warrant revealed the warrant application relied heavily on information from news articles, including a CBS Miami piece titled "Moving Trucks Spotted At Mar-a-Lago" and a Breitbart News article in which former Trump adviser Kash Patel discussed the classified status of documents the bureau previously removed from the estate on behalf of the National Archives.

Have media reports always been enough to get a search warrant against someone? What happened to independent corroboration ?

From the article:

“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.”


Merrick Garland approved the Raid with support from Wray.

Full steam ahead doing Joe’s dirty work.

How about some real journalism? I suspect he might get reassigned, but if they got rid of him, the whole case would be in jeopardy, which it should be.

As always, anything like this is not on the normal news so does not exist until it gets there. True or not it has to get to a lamestream bought off media outlet.

Thankfully, my mind refuses to construct that image. All I can muster is the original!

Buzz cuts. Clean shaven. Not a speck of dirt under their finger nails. Spit shined wing tips. Rolex. School ring.

Brooks Brothers suits with built-in knee pads.

And they have very brown noses.

Look up a picture of McCabe and clone him, like that guy they cloned in Star Wars to make all the storm troopers.

Are you asking me or the FISA Court? Cause my standard for credible witnesses goes a bit higher than self feeding leaks to the media as sources in warrant requests than the FISA Court, and that’s scary because I am an idiot.

They got their fall guy picked out.

Exactly my thoughts. From the top-down, the FBI was/is politically biased, and this guy was selected to take the blame. He needs a good attorney.

I think we found whistle-blower #1 and thirteen left to go according to James Jordan.

This article makes no sense.

Low level staffer is very confused.

Did they get a National Security Assessment for any other case of Top Secret info handled by Politicians in the last 15 years?

They didn’t even take the laptops from Hillary’s staff that held Classified data. Hey., when you can, you should wipe that thing.

According to Chuck Grassley, Thibault was reassigned to other, unspecified duties.
Robably promoted.

Or he was paid off after they didn’t find any pertinent, real evidence of anything after a 9 hour search by armed individuals.

“ They got their fall guy picked out.”

That. Now that Trump’s home invasion has produced nothing of value, the whole thing will get blamed on some underling which will clear the higher ups, and the media and the Dems will quickly move on. Or try to.

As much as I know that’s reality I think we need to ban that picture of Strozk-off. It’s too much to look at. It says so much. It makes my eyes, head, heart, and soul, really hurt.

THE FALL GUY! But don't cry for this criminal wanker, he will still collect his FBI pension. He will undoubtedly score another Fed or other gov't job. And collect two pensions, eventually.
