Sometimes a story breaks that is truly surprising in this otherwise highly predictable political environment, and that happened on Monday. Reports came out that Timothy Thibault, FBI Washington Field Office Assistant Special Agent in Charge (that’s a mouthful), had been escorted out of FBI headquarters by multiple “official-looking” individuals.
Soon enough, it was confirmed that Thibault, who was also part of “election integrity” efforts during the 2020 election, had been removed for showing political bias and attempting to cover up the Hunter Biden laptop story as early as 2019. That was long before the DOJ’s 90-day policy prior to an election to not deal with politicized cases kicked in, showing a thought-out effort to protect Joe Biden. Thibault was also involved in opening the current criminal investigation into Donald Trump, which most recently resulted in the FBI raiding the former president’s Florida home.
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.’” The article appears to have been updated and now states that Thibault “abruptly resigned” but that he was “forced to leave his post” and cites two unnamed former FBI officials…
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.

Nothing, window dressing.
Was he removed, or did he retire? I think there is a conflict as to what really occurred there.
Maybe a forced retirement. His next assignment was probably Adak Island in Alaska.
Thrown to the wolves, to save the bigger fish from frying.
(How’s that for mixed metaphors!)
Wray’s hand was forced on this because Wray did not do anything to this dude for a long time. Senator Grassley applied pressure and the Mara Lago fiasco blew up in their face, but who actually forced Thibault to retire early (resign)? Did Wray fire him or did the FBI internally force this? Is Wray involved in everything Thibualt and his other agents did and Thibault was planned to be fall guy and their plausible deniability? Was Thibault forced out because there is the beginning of a revolt in the FBI itself, from good honest agents sickened by the law braking and the get Trump at all costs by the corruption that has gone too far. This has all the ear markings of a revolt beginning inside the FBI as the lies are too far and wide to cover any more and the organization is about to correct itself?
official looking
high and tight
shiny shoes
and they look like they shop for clothes together
There is no excuse for Garland or Wray not to know that there was no legal basis to be investigating Trump about papers.

whistleblowers are protecting wray and garland?
very sketchy
thibault: you cant fire me, i quit!
what?
wolves eat fish
Patsy for public entertainment. Does your boss know what you are doing in your job? Yeah.....
The FBI is Hillarys defense team. The Beltway elite are not happy about it. The FBI and DOJ acted without their approval. The feds got worried and cocky. There was no need. The Beltway could have played this matter into oblivion butTrumps civil suit against the Russia hoax players made the culprits jumpy.
OR.... it could be for show and the guy will be plotting corrupt schemes this time next week using an FBI building alternate entrance.
It was Grassley.
sacrificial lamb
Merrick Garland signed off on it, and Judge Bruce Reinhart signed it also. Shouldn't they be forced out?
Maybe this FBI guy will seek revenge, but I doubt that will happen. 🙂
But I know you were joking with your response. 🙂
