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)
Will this get republicans on board to emasculate the DOJ/FBI? I think not. I expect same behavior but hope I’m wrong.
The current FBI is protecting the RINO Senate leaders who’ve been in on the coup since 2016. Doubtful one leg of the Deep State controllers will kick the other leg.
So the only way the FBI is going down is when the Republican Senate receives a deep cleansing.
Sacrificial lamb. Re-assigned, not fired.
He’s a hero now for the left. If he leaves FBI, his salary will increase >2x. Then he’ll have someone write a book for him, for another couple of million. It’s hard being a leftie.
I think resigned means he is no longer with the FBI.
He didn’t resign according to this article. He was reassigned to another an unspecified position. Barely a slap on the wrist, as usual.
Unless the reassignment was to Barrow, Alaska. Especially, since winter is coming 🤔😁🤗
I really doubt he has been reassigned to alaska, but that is a shame. I hear the polar bears are really hungry by now, and I have been looking for the leftists to line up in droves as volunteers to feed them.
Resigned and escorted out.

Resigned? Doubtfully, but if so, he’s being financially rewarded with a special pension, AND, he’s being set up with a BETTER government job.
This Mar-A-Lago raid was so legitimacy inept that the true nature of the fishing expedition immediately became transparent to anyone who would but see. Therefore someone needed to fall on his sword as a FBI gesture of public relations submission. But is this just the first act? Act two would be the Democratic Party aligned corrupt FBI finally going through the motions of a Hunter Biden investigation, taking the next two years to build a tax evasion case resulting in a small fine minimum or Martha Stewart type maximum outcome. All the while the big guy will skate after his first term to avoid further investigation into his activities and allow fresh blood like Gavin Newsome to run.
🤮Newsom 🤮
Gruesome Newsom
Somewhere along the line it became virtuous in the FBI to exercise bias and start illegal filings against political rivals. Did Comey start this corporate attitude? Or is this an FBI trait going way back? All I know is it always targets the same class of folks. Why has the Senate never called them out? Because the Senate isn’t in that persecuted class… the FBI works for them too.
… Kabuki…
The entire FBI is weaponized, rogue, and biased against freedom.
Their transparent bending-a-knee and “infiltrating“ bogus right wing groups is despicable. They will never be trusted by law-abiding citizens again. They need to list themselves as home grown terrorists. They certainly are terrorizing and setting up people that their administrative state masters deem a threat to their illegal status quo.
Two months later – he gets to retire with fully benefits,writes a book, goes on tour as a Dim hero.
Then their offspring work for the DOJ who continues to attack President Trump.
…..Like Comey and FIB lovers
…..who now possibly work for CIA
…Or, always did???
Are they creating a fall guy if the Trump investigation goes bad?
As if one fall guy is going to do it.
Perp walks need to happen there, DOJ, White House….
I wouldn’t believe or have much faith in a perp walk unless it was done by a military with very different leadership than is presently at the helm.
Yes. Exactly!
We need damage assessment review on the FBI…not on Trump’s documents.
We don’t need 76,000 IRS agents….we need 76,000 inspector Generals reviewing the FBI on a daily basis.
It’s too late…the damage has been done. How do you right this wrong? I hope Trump sues.
Is this supposed to appease the masses?? Shut us up? make us go away?? Change our minds and be all “we are the World”???
We are way past one little known FBI agent taking the blame. Show me handcuffs on Comey, Wray, Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Obama, Hillary… I could go on and on and on.
You cannot leave out Strzok, Paige, and Clinesmith.
BTW, this isn’t enough. There are more behind him and more behind them. They are using him as a scapegoat and it’s not going to work because we know how many more should go. One down, 600 more to go. How many more are culpable in Russiagate and the impeachment hoaxes and January 6!
More than that person being physically removed from the building is going to have to be done to convince me the entire FBI and DOJ has not become a criminal enterprise.
That said, do not be surprised in two years if we see a DOJ readout that mentions Thibault’s name followed by the words “the agency declines to prosecute”.
He’s being financially rewarded with a special pension, AND, he’s being set up with a BETTER government job.
After reading all of the posts and comments for one day, I came across Tom Klingenstein’s speech on President Donald J. Trump’s virtues. Since we have been back and forth over the DeSantis, and other R’s -vs- Trump for 2024, I think it’s a good time to reflect on what Klingenstein has to say. This is very relevant to the news events of today:
Here it is:
This is Tom’s website where you will find other great, relevant speeches that we all need to hear and think about (IMAO).
tomklingenstein.com
I just now listened to Tom Klingenstein’s speech on Trump’s Virtues as you suggested. THAT WILL PREACH !
Victor Davis Hanson referrers to Donald Trump as a “Tragic Hero”, much like Shane or The Magnificent Seven.
Can probably count on ones digits the number gullible enough to accept as fact that W ray and Garrlick didn’t have a clue these multiple players inside Effbeye and djustice ran this hidden op on their own for over a year.
Without these conspirators hiding the laptop January 6 would have been a normal electoral certification and KAG PDJT.
he will merely be relicated, get a raise and mor bennies, and resume evil and skullduggery away from the public eye, while laughing his ass off at all of us. name one government agent or employee that recieved justice for evil misdeeds in the last 10 years. not one. not a single damn one.
Some of the Treepers are getting their shorts in a twist over this.
The guy wasn’t being escorted “out” of anyplace.
They were merely escorting him to his surprise birthday party at Obama’s and then to CNN for his job interview.
This is an open letter to the feds who are surely monitoring this website.
Dear Feds,
You seem to be operating under the delusion that you can still pull the wool over peoples eyes. You can’t. Essentially everyone now knows what you are and what you’re about, whether they’ll admit it or not.. You wouldn’t believe the conversations in the grocery stores and at the water coolers at work, at the campgrounds and in bowling alleys. Even lifelong democrats in my area think your agency needs to be burned to the ground, the ashes pissed on, and the remains scattered to the four winds. And, they say, then the agency needs to be rebuilt in a very red gun carrying state, where, if you corrupt bastards wish to rejoin it and continue your utterly corrupt ways, you’ll have to do so living amongst the people you offend. In VERY close proximity. And you’d have to work with the red state conservatives who snagged most of your jobs and would make damn sure to keep a good eye on you.
You should think very carefully about what you decide to do next, and how it will reflect on you. Your future may not be as bright or as free as you think it will be. Be warned. We mean to remove through elections every supporter in congress that you have, and replace them with people who will genuinely hold you accountable, up to and including zealously prosecuting every last one of you corrupt bastards to the fullest extent of the law. Former feds don’t do so well in prison, I’m told.
Choose wisely.
The American People
I love this. The traitors need to be arrested, tried and fried.
This is B.S. This is just for show. This scumbag, Tim Thibault, is revered within the FBI and he will receive a promotion. This was done for optics, only.
Politico reporting his pecadillos:
Deep Stater’s always have a plan B. Scheming and conniving is what they do. I have no doubt they are not the least bit worried. This guy is part of the plan too and will be well compensated.
Well, speak of the devil…

Breaking: FBI Agent Tim Thibault Who Opened Trump Investigation Is Escorted from Headquarters — Was Also FBI Agent in Charge of Investigating Voter Fraud, And Failed to Do So

The Start of the Unraveling of the Trump Mar A Lago Raid
Excerpt:
Details about Mr. Thibault’s criminal activities over the last five years are likely to emerge in the coming weeks. For example, Mr. Thibault obstructed justice in the Hillary Clinton case. And he reportedly played a critical role in Cross Fire Hurricane, operating behind the scenes. Thibault was the one who ensured the Hunter Biden laptop never saw the light of day. He helped cover that up. And he has allegedly been involved in other chicanery intended to discredit and destroy Donald Trump.

And for 5 years who were his handlers?
Who’s ticking his report cards?
Don’t you just love bullies with integrity.
Sacrificial lamb by the corrupt DOJ-FBI for appearances’ sake so right-wing media can discuss it before the election.
This is the Deep State getting all their ducks in a row when Republicans control the House and Senate in January.
While I agree it is a ruse and he will go elsewhere it is still in the news and the more their misdeeds are known, the better. It is like someone you hate, saying the right thing.
Timmy looks like a drunken kiddie diddler if you want my unvarnished opinion.
What a convenient story… it’s all Thibault’s fault Garland investigated Trump. Guess it’s his fault Garland and Wray raided Trump’s house.
Meanwhile, I bet Thibault skates with a full pension (only if he keeps his mouth shut).
The one person NOT with a cover story is Biden – he still waved Trump’s Executive Privilege.
This gives Slimmy Garland and DOJ a way to back out….. oops we were mislead…
These people (the FIBs), besides being evil and corrupt, aren’t playing with a full deck if they think this angle – Garland and Wray were fed bad information by a rogue agent – will fly.
When can we talk about the Antohny Weiner and Huma Abedin laptop? I’m asking for a friend.
“[…] 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 […]”
Just sounds like more FBI By-The-Book to me… I don’t see the problem here?
Yup. Exact same playbook as Russiagate.
If the FBI was after papers that incriminate themselves and DOJ in the Russian collusion/spygate hoax, then they are guilty of obstruction of justice. Trump has a lawsuit.
Do I smell a scape goat?
REASSIGNED or RESIGNED ??
Numerous sites report that he resigned
Search it and see
Now we know why they fired Stelter… to make room for this gem
I have read this article on TCH, as well as another one TGP as well as the Hyperlink to the article on TWT. So I feel like I am pretty much up to speed on all of the accusations against Mr. Timothy Thibault, however I have a few questions;
“Splan sumtin to me, Lucy.”
Timothy Thibault is responsible for failing to investigate the Hunter Biden laptop.
Timothy Thibault is responsible for pushing out unvaccinated FBI agents because he thought that they were Trump supporters.
Timothy Thibault is responsible for failing to investigate the 2020 Election Fraud.
Timothy Thibault is responsible for the Raid on Mar-a-Largo.
How in the world did Timothy Thibault ever have time to go pee.
Next you are going to tell me that Timothy Thibault is responsible for failing to investigate Hillary Clinton’s deleted eMails, and failing to investigate Benghazi.
Have you ever heard the story about how Lee Harvey Oswald single-handedly fired 16 shots at President Kennedy while sitting in the break room on his break drinking a soda?
Timothy Thibault must be one heck of a Super Assistant Special Agent in Charge of Everything Corrupt at the FBI.
Can you say, as well as, spell the word; Scapegoat?
Very Good! I knew you could.
Nothing but a sacrificial lamb as Sundance points out
Sorry to say Roy Blunt, aka Mini Mitch, has been my Senator. He is a coward that does what he is told. Fortunately, his term will run out before this plays out.
Yes and he has been replaced by Eric Schmitt, who I humbly submit has been possibly most actively Maga State Attorney General in the nation. Sued China over covid, Sued to try to block Federal bureaucracies covid mandates in our state, and joined Texas in the lawsuit to try to overturn the 2020 elections. And most recently, blocked the FBI from auditing Missouri Concealed Carry Permits.
Quite a change from Blunt.
This is Wray and Garland covering their back sides. I’m convinced they don’t really care if the guy was acting in a partisan nature or not. They are a big part of DC’s problems.
Every useful idiot thinks they’re a boss. Or else they wouldn’t be useful.
They think this morsel will feed and quell the
Anger people have about these corrupt clowns ?
They really are THAT stupid! 😆
Clinesmith 2.0
Its Not like we haven’t seen this rodeo before!
If this piece of fruit was hanging any lower it would be filled with worms.
FBLie are recalibrating this unit prolly the last we’ll see of him.
Ever since it was revealed that the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago was likely connected to Trump’s possession of documents related to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, it has become increasingly obvious that the FBI may have raided President Trump’s estate to cover their tracks.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) was heavily involved in the phony Russiagate investigation.
He allegedly requested a meeting with Christopher Steele, the author of the fake Steele Dossier that claimed that President Trump hired Russian prostitutes to urinate on him.
According to President Trump, Warner intentionally kept the meeting secret and did not want a ‘paper trail’ showing that he was meeting with Steele.
Warner also said that he supports the Justice Department’s investigation into President Trump and believes the former President may pose a ‘national security threat’.
Warner has deep financial ties to Russia, including a multi-million-dollar payout that he received from investing in a Russian tech business.
A question for Sundance to ponder:
Trump had all those documents long before he left office. He had all the power he needed to declass and push them to friendly journos, including Sundance and others.
We know those documents would have implicated FBI, DOJ, CIA, Repubs, Dems, the Obama admin writ large.
We also know releasing those documents would have literally blown up Wash DC, and it may have led to the real draining of the swamp that Trump always said he wanted.
And there was very likely other material that could have had the effect that could have been dug up.
And, did he eventually get an inkling of what was going on in Ukr? A war with Russia covered up and hidden from the president, which obviously has been in planning forever?
Anyone can understand not disclosing right up until the stolen election. And I can understand not wanting the family to be shredded or to go to jail or even be assassinated. Nevertheless, he manages to get copies of this dangerous material at home for his memoirs.
Is it all conceivable that he realizes they’re NOT going to let him publish anything so he proposes trading all the documents in exchange for two things:
1/ the opportunity to trash FBI publicly for an obviously illicit and political act (raiding and abusing him once again); and
2/ A new opportunity to run for president.
I just cant get past the new fact that FBI is now claiming a right to suppress the docs since they are now part of an ongoing and presumably never ending investigation.
Works for Trump bc he wasnt going to be allowed to publish anyway. Works for the regime since they maintain control of the docs.
What would be the point of running again? The regime is doing and will do whatever it intends to do, incl WW III. Some have said if they cant win they’re willing to launch nukes. Ie, they’ll never give up. Traditionalists are being be purged from the regime as we speak. So, whats the point of another run that has zero chance of saving anything but Trump and his family?
Is all this stuff with Trump just theater he agreed to escape impeachment II? Or is there a legit chance of escaping whatever is coming?
There is organized crime in the FBI and DOJ.
There is no ‘Equal Justice under Law’. We live under a
two-tiered Justice System. This is a very sad state of affairs.
Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden and Democrat elites walk free
no matter the crime.
We must end this two-tiered Justice System.
There is organized crime in the FBI and DOJ.
The next President must order a RICO investigation of
organized crime in the FBI and DOJ.
RICO is the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act.
Bring in Outside people & retired Govies to form a special
RICO Unit to clean house.
FBI Special Agent Who Opened Trump Investigation Has Been Escorted out of Bureau Headquarters
https://beckernews.com/fbi-special-agent-who-opened-trump-investigation-has-been-escorted-out-of-bureau-headquarters-46623/
Doesn’t he have to go through some internal ethics review like McCabe did?
He should be stripped of his FBI pension.
Nothing ever happens to these people.
Nothing will come of it…nothing ever does…there went the rooster…Paul Ryan so proud…
I’m sure there’s LOTS of other fruits still working at the FBI…
“Relied heavily on news articles” That sounds oddly familiar. weren’t FISA warrants issued on news articles, articles that had been planted to prove the narrative?

He’ll be working at MSNBC once he gets his pension and benefits squared away.
He’ll transfer to IRS where they’re looking for trigger-happy gunslingers right now.
