A former FBI official who allegedly shut down part of the investigation into Hunter Biden was "running point" in the bureau’s dealings with a key witness in the probe, according to sources directly familiar with the matter.
The witness, Tony Bobulinski, now has concerns that the former official, Timothy Thibault, helped bury information about his dealings with the Biden family that he gave the FBI, sources told the Washington Free Beacon. Thibault retired from the FBI last week amid allegations from whistleblowers that he shut down an investigation into an avenue of "derogatory" information about Hunter Biden in October 2020. Senate Republicans began scrutinizing Thibault earlier this year over anti-Trump rhetoric he posted on social media.
It had been unclear what role Thibault played in the Biden investigation, which began in 2018. But his oversight of Bobulinski means he oversaw one of the most significant witnesses to come forward with information about the Bidens’ business links to China. The FBI interviewed Bobulinski for five hours on Oct. 23, 2020, after Bobulinski publicly disputed Joe Biden’s claim to have never discussed business with his son. Bobulinski said he met with Hunter and Joe Biden in May 2017 to discuss a multimillion-dollar deal with CEFC China Energy, a Chinese energy conglomerate with ties to Chinese military intelligence. The California-based businessman also said Joe Biden is "the big guy" referenced in cryptic emails discussing equity payments from their business deals.
"In my hour-long meeting with Joe Biden we discussed Biden family business dealings with the Chinese, with which he was plainly familiar," Bobulinski said at a press conference before his FBI interview. Text messages show Bobulinski and Hunter Biden arranging a meeting with Joe Biden at the Beverly Hills Hilton. Emails from Biden’s abandoned laptop show extensive discussions about CEFC China Energy.

I’m a little surprised Tony Bobulinksi is still alive.
Even when you try to do the right thing, you get yet another corrupt FBI agent.
Assume the FBI is all corrupt, until proven otherwise.
And only talk with them with a recording or an attorney.
me too
hope he has a deadman switch
he doesnt look suicidal
The whole mess needs to be gutted. Let other agencies do the investigations
The leadership of most agencies in the federal government are criminals at this point.
This guy is going to do just fine on MSNBC, NBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and PBS.
Tony Bobulinksi is alive because he has security that works.
Or else he would be pushing up daisies like Lieutenant Quarales Harris Jr.
He may yet be hit by the Obama Wet Works Team.
Sure does sound to me that Mr Thibault did a bit of obstruction of justice there?????
Or both.
This agent is the designated fall guy. He will be rewarded well for keeping his mouth shut. The leadership knew without doubt what was happening. They knew because they ordered it done. They did not “just discover” this plot against Trump. They are the plot against Trump.
It is that simple.
So much for the rank and file of the FBI. Seems that the FBI and the DOJ are so laced with corrupt bureaucrats AND agents, the only way it will EVER be cleaned up is an uprising from within.
I don’t see that happening anytime soon . . .
Suppressing evidence. Isn’t that a crime?
Just when you think the FBI can’t get any more corrupt.
Indeed maybe he has paper work some place?.
