Former FBI Washington Field Office Assistant Special Agent in Charge Tim Thibault was reportedly escorted out of the bureau 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.'" 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.
Just the News was unable to independently confirm the Times' report.
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 in 2020 unrelated to the raid, according to information made public by Sen. Charles Grassley.
Those whistleblower allegations have raised questions about the bureau as it also deals with the fallout of the raid on Trump's home earlier this month.
In that matter, 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.
Grassley confirmed to Just the News prior to the raid that Thibault had been removed from his post and reassigned to an unspecified position.
The FBI declined to comment on the matter.
“reassigned to an unspecified position.”
Still being paid.
Did they shop at Walmart for their outfits and Rayban for their sunglasses?
Paging Detective Sgt Friday.
Hannity says since he’s a child he loves the FBI and this is the last bad one in the organization.
If this turd isn’t on his way to either Gitmo or Diego Garcia, it’s all for nothing.
It’s Jon Favreau.
One less FBI torpedo is a start.
Thibault is nothing more than the sacrificial lamb ( who will experience nothing unpleasant). Merrick Garland simply does what the controlling Biden cabal orders him to do. They still want to indict Trump on any charge possible to keep him from running again and to delegitimize his righteous assertation of election fraud and the illegitimacy of the Biden Administration.
Wray is a creature of the swamp and was Christie’s fixer in the Bridgegate debacle. Trump , never one to made good appointments, made a huge mistake appointing this creature FBI director. He was a puppy for Barr. Barr ordered Wray not to investigate the Hunter laptop. Barr knew that such an investigation and release would have doomed the Biden candidacy and Trump would have been easily reelected. Barr is a devious snake.

There is some misleading takes on the article.
This guy - working with at least one other agent, shut down (made inactive) the Hunter Biden Investigation.
And the bad news is - it looks like they moved the Hunter Biden investigation to where it’s obvious there is nothing being done.
Wray said about two weeks ago, it’s moved to the Baltimore office, and DoJ Career peeps said no case they value is run out of the Baltimore office. It went their to die.
.
"The DOJ’s watchdog referred FBI special agent Timothy Thibault’s “potential violations of the Hatch Act” to The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) after Grassley demanded a probe in May."

So...the FBI had an agent involved with the Mar-A-Lago raid who was already under investigation for violating the Hatch Act against President Trump. Nothing like derailing any case they could have pretended to make.
If that’s true, so much for 3 sources (I looked for a half hour).
No doubt CNN will ‘take good care’ of him by giving him a new, well-paying, career.
No need for a FBI field office in Baltimore. Close it down and move those agents to FIBBER HQ.
I stopped watching Fox after the scam election. They haven’t improved from what I’ve heard.
.
How can they have all these people in decision making positions without grooming the Anti-Conservative behavior?
There are at least two more beyond this guy and Thibault.
