A top FBI agent at the Washington field office reportedly resigned from his post last week after facing intense scrutiny over allegations he helped shield Hunter Biden from criminal investigations into his laptop and business dealings. Timothy Thibault, an FBI assistant special agent in charge, was allegedly forced out after he was accused of political bias in his handling of probes involving President Biden’s son, sources told the Washington Times on Monday. The agent was escorted out of the field office by at least two “headquarters-looking types” last Friday, the sources said

"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...

Donald Trump is taking his case against FBI "election interference" to the American people — and to a new level — by demanding to be declared the "rightful winner" or "have a new election." "So now it comes out, conclusively, that the FBI BURIED THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY BEFORE THE ELECTION knowing that, if they didn't, 'Trump would have easily won the 2020 Presidential Election,'" Trump wrote Monday in Truth Social. "This is massive FRAUD & ELECTION INTERFERENCE at a level never seen before in our country." Trump added the "remedy" for the 2020 presidential election meddling should be...

Former FBI official Peter Strzok said in an interview that foreign intelligence services in countries, including Russia, have been "absolutely" interested in gaining access to former President Donald Trump's Florida property, Mar-a-Lago. Strzok's comments come after the FBI raided the property earlier this month as part of an investigation into whether Trump potentially mishandled classified information. During his interview, Katie Phang asked Strzok if he believes it's a possibility that the Russians would have been interested and "possibly tried to infiltrate" Mar-a-Lago. "Well Katie, absolutely the Russians, but not just the Russians, any competent foreign intelligence service, whether that's those...

U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik is keeping up her criticism of the FBI for refusing to answer questions about its connections to Shahed Hussain, the owner of the stretch limo involved in the 2018 crash in Schoharie that killed 20 people. In an appearance earlier this month on Fox News, the Schuylerville Republican said she had yet to get answers from the FBI on Hussain, who worked for years as an undercover informant for the bureau on anti-terrorism cases before his illegal limo operation was involved in the tragedy. During a March appearance before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence,...

“Trump declassified whole sets of materials in anticipation of leaving government that he thought the American public should have the right to read themselves,” Patel had told Breitbart News in a phone interview back in May, long before the FBI’s raid. “The White House counsel failed to generate the paperwork to change the classification markings, but that doesn’t mean the information wasn’t declassified. I was there with President Trump when he said, ‘We are declassifying this information.’”

Fox News host Jesse Watters reflected on the redacted affidavit over the FBI’s raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate on "Jesse Watters Primetime." [cut] Well, according to the affidavit, there appears to be two major concerns: where the documents were stored and how they were stored. The affidavit states: "I believe that the storage room and other spaces within the premises are not currently authorized locations for the storage of classified information or NDI." NDI is national defense information. So let me get this straight: Trump has some Trump administration documents locked up in the storage room of...

Like the Russia collusion FISA warrants before it, the FBI search warrant for Donald Trump's Florida estate relied on multiple news media reports from outlets such as Breitbart and CBS to justify its unprecedented request to raid a former president's home. For instance, the bureau relied on a local CBS report to establish that Trump had moved boxes suspected to contain documents from the White House to Mar-a-Lago in mid-January 2021, just before he left office, according to the partially redacted FBI affidavit made public by a court Friday. "According to a CBS Miami article titled 'Moving Tucks Spotted At...

The FBI slow-walked its investigation into Hunter Biden’s laptop, including telling some bureau employees not to look at the hard drive belonging to President Joe Biden’s son, according to reported whistleblower disclosures made public by a top Senate Republican. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Tuesday about the new whistleblower claims, following disclosures made public last month about the bureau allegedly wrongly labeling Hunter Biden evidence as “disinformation” in 2020. “Whistleblowers have recently contacted my office to share serious concerns about the FBI’s handling of Hunter Biden’s laptop,” Johnson told Horowitz, telling...

"Even as Attorney General Merrick Garland desperately tries to pull ‘the bus’ down on top of himself and take all of the blame, both the FBI Director (Christopher Wray) and Usurper in Thief Joe Biden (‘the boss of both of them’) pretend to not know how it all happened despite having to be in the loop as they are the only three who could possibly order a RAID of a former President of the United States. But new documents show that they had to..."

BILL'S MESSAGE OF THE DAY Garland's Weak Presentation By: Bill O'ReillyAugust 12, 2022 Archive Archive Comment Comment Email Email Print Print Share on Facebook Share on Twitter The weak presentation by Attorney General Garland on Thursday and the stonewall testimony by FBI director Christopher Wray last week should disturb every American. It is clear the Justice Department is being run by men who are not exactly profiles in courage. I don't know if Donald Trump did anything wrong concerning classified documents, but I do know the matter is being handled in a way that is damaging America. Overseas, our enemies...

The Justice Department and FBI must provide details on the alleged national security basis for the raid at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and hand over information on possible informants, the leader of House Intelligence Committee Republicans charged Friday. Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) has spent the week pushing FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland for answers on the unprecedented raid. Wray has declined to answer questions on the matter, while Garland said Thursday in a short public statement he “personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter.” “We are also very concerned about the...

Attorney for former President Donald Trump Lindsey Halligan called the FBI’s lack of transparency about its raid on Trump’s home perhaps "the first step to tyranny" Friday on "Hannity." HALLIGAN: President Trump, to my understanding, declassified everything. The FBI's withholding of information and lack of transparency is crazy. It's honestly - it may be the first step to tyranny. Controlling the channel of information is also part of that. And if it wasn't for Truth Social, Twitter might have banned President Trump from telling the world what happened on Monday. Seems that they want to silence President Trump and cancel...

FBI Director Christopher Wray was blasted on Twitter on Thursday night after he tried to silence his critics with a statement claiming that outrage over his agency’s raid on former President Donald Trump’s home is “unfounded,” “dangerous,” and “deeply concerning.”

Either the commissars prevail at great expense to the safety and liberty of the nation or they are defeated. And the closing chapter is being written right now. "We have a saying in my office. Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.” So said FBI supervisory agent Henrik Impola to one of the FBI informants working the FBI-inspired, organized, and executed scheme to “kidnap” and “assassinate” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer ahead of the 2020 presidential election. That comment, made in December 2020, just a few months after several men were arrested for their alleged role...

FBI Director Christopher Wray issued a forceful statement on Thursday in response to the harsh rhetoric against the agency following the raid of former President Donald Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago. He said:Unfounded attacks on the integrity of the FBI erode respect for the rule of law and are a grave disservice to the men and women who sacrifice so much to protect others. Violence and threats against law enforcement, including the FBI, are dangerous and should be deeply concerning to all Americans. Wray went on to praise the men and women of the FBI for their professionalism and commitment...

This is why Wray and Merrick Garland thought they could get away with it. The FBI sought the sign off on the Get Trump Raid within 24 hours of Wray being questioned by the Senate. A high ranking senior Republican, Lindsey Graham “questioned” Chris Wray. Lindsey and Wray obviously really like each other. Lindsey asks Wray, how much more money does the FBi need to do its job? Wray smiles broadly like the Grinch, and Lindsey interrupts - just get me a number, and I dare anyone to say No! Lindsey Graham doesn’t ask Wray about Garland’s public threats to...

Wray called threats circulating online against federal agents and the Justice Department “deplorable and dangerous” The director of the FBI had strong words Wednesday for supporters of former President Donald Trump who have been using violent rhetoric in the wake of his agency's search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. Christopher Wray, who was appointed as the agency’s director in 2017 by Trump, called threats circulating online against federal agents and the Justice Department “deplorable and dangerous.” “I’m always concerned about threats to law enforcement,” Wray said. “Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you’re upset with.” Wray...
