According to the Washington Times, and further confirmed by John Solomon via contact with Chuck Grassley, the lead FBI Washington Field Office Special Agent in Charge, Tim Thibault, was removed from his position and reportedly escorted out of FBI headquarters on Friday; although his employment status is unknown.
FBI Special Agent Tim Thibault is one of the people at the center of FBI whistleblower allegations claiming the agent was politically biased and ideologically motivated in his FBI investigative duties.
…”Mr. Thibault was seen exiting the bureau’s elevator last Friday escorted by two or three “headquarters-looking types,” according to eyewitness accounts provided to one of the former officials.”
WASHINGTON – A senior FBI official in the bureau’s Washington field office has abruptly resigned after coming under congressional scrutiny for suspected political bias in handling the investigation of Hunter Biden’s computer laptop.
The Washington Times learned that Timothy Thibault, an assistant special agent in charge, was forced to leave his post according to two former FBI officials familiar with the situation.
Mr. Thibault was seen exiting the bureau’s elevator last Friday escorted by two or three “headquarters-looking types,” according to eyewitness accounts provided to one of the former officials.
It is unclear if Mr. Thibault, a 25-year FBI veteran who was on leave for at least a month following revelations about political statements he made while leading the public corruption unit, left on his own accord or was forced out. (link)
John Solomon appears to have second corroboration from Senator Chuck Grassley on the status of Thibault:
[…] “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.
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.” (read more)
“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″.
Yeah, sure. More like the blowback from the MAR raid is hitting too close to Merrick and Wray and they finally picked their scapegoat. I’m sure they think this will be enough to satisfy the mob and then they can continue to go about their dirty business .
While probably guilty as hell, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Thibault is just a sacrificial lamb to take the heat off the seventh floor and DOJ.
(and it doesn’t matter, he’ll be fine)
You are right…Agent Tim is a nobody..You can tell just by looking at his tie.
He was doing as ask and will take the fall all the way to the private sector.
Poor guy he will have to enlarge his garage for the Porsche
My immediate thought on this guy “resigning” was FALL GUY. I’m sure he’s resigning with full pension, they all retire on the taxpayers butt.
Just like Lois Lerner Et AL
Based on the confused and crisscrossed accounts I’m seeing, here and elsewhere, if this guy is the fall guy, he is not a very good one. No one can even find out if he led the raid or what his role in things actually was.
More likely that if he was forced to resign, he signed an NDA on the way out the door, and further agreements to refuse testifying without agency notice and/or approval.
The coverup is still intact. He won’t have to go a week without a job somewhere else.
The picture of that Goon Agt should be him wearing an orange jumpsuit with an INMATE # !
Agreed,, except that there is probably a shortage of orange jumpsuits needed to clothe all the DeepState traitors we have in government. From Garland to Holder et al. on down the list is too long to enumerate.
Or outlined with that white chalk you see on TV…
Why no arrest for supplying misleading information?
Oh I guess he was paid off and made a scapegoat
Government pension, write a book, CNN and NY T. Set for life. Win win.
He’ll be back as a handsomely paid consultant once the “sternly worded letter” and “we’ll haul them before a committee” outrage blows over.
Just like Peter Strzok.
Sundance:
There is a problem in this story somewhere, and it looks like the story is either changing or there is a coverup somehow.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-agent-accused-political-bias-suppressing-hunter-biden-laptop-leaves-bureau
“Thibault was one of 13 assistant special agents in charge at the Washington field office. He was not involved in the FBI raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month at any level.
The FBI told Fox News it does not comment on personnel matters. Grassley’s office did respond to Fox News’ request for comment before publication.”
Some reports say Thibault was involved in instigating the investigation that led to the raid on Maralago.
This story from Fox claims he was not involved in the raid at any level.
This is obviously contradictory and appears to be the fbi covering something up.
Also, for them to claim not to comment on personnel matters and yet claim:
“He was not involved in the FBI raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate earlier this month at any level.”
So WHERE, exactly, did THAT claim come from?
It could only have been the fbi in some way.
Somebody, or several somebodies, is/are lying.
Sundance, if you dig around, it could be highly revealing.
If I understood correctly tonite, it sounds like Tim tried to open an investigation on Trump before/during/after? the 2020 election but it was turned down by his boss. Maybe that has gotten confused by reporters?
But, given the timing of his removal from his current position (it is unclear to me at this point if he is still employed by Bureau), it would seem to suggest he was involved in the current records dispute thing with Trump.
Can’t imagine a few Grassley letters would cause this, lol
His linked in page was captured by others who have sent it around the digital sewer. Based upon his comments, this “Tim” as you call him is a mendacious, arrogant, bully with the shallow political views of a junior college professor who couldn’t get tenured at a mid-level four year college….and he requires his students to parrot his POV. Get rid of everyone like him, glue factory.
Padlock the Field Office as a crime scene
Could be:
The excuse for the raid will likely rest upon the recent story about INNA YASHCHYSHYN, to Ukraine-born 33-year-old woman who play acted as ANNA DE ROTHSCHILD, of THE Rothschilds. I’ve been researching this since Sunday, and have a lot more to do, but the front page story in the PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE has some interesting facts/claims of facts that should make people think before seizing on any non sequiturs about the alleged classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and what Ms. Yashchyshyn’s presence at Mar-a-Lago has anything to do with those documents. It could be another “Dirty-up Trump with Russia” operation. If not that, it is a confidence game of some kind. Here are some of the main facts:
Posted on the Web site of the authors of the POST-GAZETTE article:
She had to have help to get all the tools necessary to pass as a member of some super rich family. There’s the $170,000 Mercedes, the Rolex, the designer wardrobe with everything from formal to golfing to loungewear. None of that stuff grows on trees. Someone had the wherewithal to get those things for her to use as bona fides of her fake persona. She also needed training to behave like such a person, an heiress of a celebrated super rich family, along with possible access to psychological profiles of the people she would have to manipulate. No one gets that kind of help without already having connections. This is either organized crime or an intelligence agency, either one of ours, or another nation’s intelligence service, or she could be both. All you have are surface leads. You need to drill down further, starting with how she got her entree’ with Adamker. Someone wanted her in Trump’s circle, and those people knew Adamker could get her in, whether into Mar-a-Lago or somewhere else frequented by Trump, for whatever reason. (((You obviously did not hear from anyone she ripped off of significant cash, or you would have published it. Maybe all she was to do is stand around with those people and get her picture taken with them. Maybe that was enough, which seems to be all the FBI got about her activity in those circles frequenting Mar-a-Lago.)))
“Maybe all she was to do is stand around with those people and get her picture taken with them. “
Reassigned. Probably to a cushier field office (with less oversight, not being DC) and a pay raise. He did his duty to Sauron, after all.
Or a place to cool his heels until he turns 50 and can start collecting his pension early? I tried to find his age and failed
…ok. I have his lunch money. I’m sorry he turned out this way. It was all innocent fun…
I am curious of Timothy has any involvement in the J6 situation and was very disappointed to the Fox coverage tonite that no one mentioned the political prisoners at DC Gitmo as they discussed DOJ partisanship
It doesn’t take a McKinsey study or a NYC Detective to understand what will happen when agents in the Washington Field Office, live in the same communities around D.C. with their potential “subjects”. They may go to church, school and socialize with people they one day may need to investigate. It can not be done this way.
It is a WAVING red flag that this Field Office “proximity” is too close to corrupt politicians and lobbyists. Barak and Eric, Hillary and Bill leveraged this on steroids. It appears the 3-Letter agencies did as well, and the influence peddling corrupted decision making for political ends.
That Thibault also led the “official” 2020 election investigation yet was not intecepted sooner, captures an extraordinary cult-like following by men and women who took an oath but ignored it.
Haven’t heard the suggestion yet, but Senator Johnson and Grassley should consider putting a padlock on the office like a crime scene
“That Thibault also led the “official” 2020 election investigation yet was not intecepted sooner,”
Is *THIS* who Bill Barr trusted for his 2020 election steal info?!?
“Jim, do you remember, you took an oath…. to the people of the country?”….from a Clear and Present Danger
That Thibault also led the “official” 2020 election investigation, yet was not intecepted sooner, captures a cult-like following by men and women who took an oath but shelved it, ignored it and for reasons that are all unexceptable.
This is clearly not the the majority but the nation is in a crisis.
Dutybound agents across the country simply must MAN-UP and flush the fecal matter out.
So, Garland and Wray were clueless?
My opinion is to reduce/defund (whatever) the agency by 50% and….whistleblowers with info and non-participation in the corruption get to stay.
Durham must be getting close to the seventh floor, hence the people at the heart of the “Get Trump” gang will be shuffled off into hiding. Everyone on the seventh floor has known everyone else for a couple of decades and everyone, including Wray, knows what the hand-picked goons, male and female were up to.
Whatsa “Durham”?….
The one that exposed the Russia hoax how it worked and who was in charge. Your welcome
The FBI’s department of ethics review is in the process of protecting Timothy Thibault.
We’ve seen this song before…
It equates to a 20% pay increase and relocation services to a new field office where you will not be able to “find” him.
If he was simply “re-assigned” then this is just a head fake by the deep state and means nothing.
Thibault is the Sacrificial Lamb given up to protect the rest of the treasonous scum who make up the FBI. I trust someone will force the exceedingly effeminate Wray to return Melania’s underwear and I hope he has the sense to wash it first!
After reading the story and without reading any of the comments, I came to the same conclusion, this zero is a scapegoat and falling on the sword for those above him. After reading some of the comments, we are all thinking the same thing, which means many in this country are thinking the same way. The guilty are not fooling anyone, they feel because everyone on the left are falling for their lies, the whole country will believe.
This FBI agent is just a patsy, he is not an elite…You can tell this just by the tie he is wearing..If you know, you know.
If he resigned, why would he be escorted out of the building? My horse sense is it was a show put on by the FBI and there was nothing real about it.
I doubt he was fired and there are smaller odds that he resigned. My guess: he will be using accumulated sick time and vacation time and he will return to an undisclosed FBI office somewhere this year.
I do not trust the vaunted fbi today or since their first attempts to deceive in 2016.
Well, If he was removed from office before the raid, then he didn’t lead it, as Trump Claims on Truth Social. He may have started the investigation, he may have helped plan the tactics, but it seems odd to dump a fall guy before he does the thing he would need to be dumped for…
Fox News, for what little it is worth, says Thibault had absolutely nothing to do with the raid.
Given that the FBI freely, openly, and usually lies about everything…the Truth in all this will not come from them. SO WHAT IS GOING ON?
The FBI is dirty from the top to the bottom. God help you if you ever get in their crosshairs. They’ll see to it that you’re guilty of something.
Sure, a single sacrificial clown. Thank you for falling on your sword. Now, back to business as usual.
Al Capone, Whitey Bulger, John Gotti, Frank Lucas, Dutch Shultz, Henry Hill, all would have made a great modern day FBI Director or AG if we judge them by Wray or Rosenstein or Garland standards.
Peter Strzok went to the CIA as his punishment. Probably something similar for this guy.
Like most of the alphabet agencies run by the executive branch, the FBI and DOJ are corrupted and rotten to the core. What the Clinton’s, Obama, and Holder assembled must be ripped out, root and branch. That process starts with MAGA Congress people in Office in January, and they best do the job they will have been elected to perform.
A number of these agency heads need to be impeached and tried, and I’m not focusing just on the law enforcement side. The agency heads who have purposely stopped drilling and leasing need to be removed as well, along with the other Green wing nuts who worship at their pagan altar.
We all know what this is: The raid blew up in Biden’s face, so this schmuck is a fall guy to put some plausible deniability between the White House and the egregious abuse of law enforcement to harass Biden’s political enemies.
This came from the top, it isn’t a rogue agent running his own operation.
Of course Biden will still leak and use the stolen information as intended. Can’t put the genie back into the bottle you know.
Any bets on when Timothy Thibault begins his career on MSNBC?
This level of falling-on-your-sword gets you a gig on CNN?
Yesterday.
“We’re sorry. Mr. Thibault no longer works here and we have no idea of his whereabouts so we have no power to produce him for a deposition.”
so true this happens a lot! so much corruption A definite two tier system!
This shows the 7th Floor still thinks Americans are dumber than shyte.
I have to wonder if this guy was positioned to obstruct the investigation into Anthony Weiner’s laptop – husband to Hillary Clinton’s top aide. News accounts in 2016 said 2800 classified and sensitive documents were on that computer. Also reason to suspect Epstein related child porn
and ( possibly ) other really ugly stuff. Yet no FBI raid and the computer – to my knowledge was never examined.
I have lost faith that there will ever be accountability for FBI, NSA, State Dept, CIA – the corruption is too deep and too wide – I just have to accept that we have lost our democracy.
“Trump could make THIS move and fold every single FBI stormtrooper who stepped foot on his property”
Watch them fall apart
I cannot wait for President Trump to amend his RICO case with Thibault’s name added to the list.
Dang. I like her. I knew there was a reason I watch OAN.
I hope Trump sues those agents into the Stone Age!
Just TPTB cleaning house before they are ALL exposed
This should start a cascading number of firings from the DOJ and the FBI – the two departments must be totally cleaned of partisan actors and replaced with moral occupants….. Elliot Ness must be rolling in his grave at this corrupt version of the FBI. Thank God Merrick Garland didn’t make it to the Supreme Court from where he could NEVER be removed……
I do not believe that the FBI was ever ‘good’.
Moreover, little kids were indoctrinated to believe the FBI WAS good. All on their CYA black box. Ask J. Edgar.
Think about it.
More like the blowback from the MAR raid is hitting too close to Merrick and Wray and they finally picked their scapegoat. Carol A, I agree, now who is paying this guy to resign and to go away silently to be never seen or heard from again, this way he is never confronted with questions while under oath. d …. rats are evil corrupt liars, it is the d …. rat way.
Well, he was on vacation for a month before he was supposedly escorted out.
Wonder what he was doing all that time?
That picture of Thibault doesn’t exactly scream “world’s premier law enforcement agency” to me. What is the Over/Under on how many times that wimp got stuffed into a locker in Jr. High School?
He’s another false sacrifice a la Clinesmith. More empty calories for the dense sheeple to consume.
So now Wray will pretend that everything’s fixed?
That this was the only guy who had to be weeded out and now there’s no more anti-conservative bias and anti-Trump fervor at FBI?
Ok, Chris – sure
when very young and living outside DC, our church has this HUGE FBI man, whom we all loved. especially the kids, me. He would allow any one of us to throw the hardest punches we had at his stomach.
I wonder if thibault would be open to that. I’m a little older now, but sentimental.
Gateway Pundit has an article up about Thibault’s attorneys denying any wrongdoing.
Here are the two photos Jim Hoft posted:
