Just the News is reporting that former Washington Field Office Special Agent in Charge Tim Thibault was escorted out of FBI headquarters on Friday.
There have been reports of whistleblower allegations that Thibault showed political bias in his handling of politically sensitive investigations. He is supposed to have hidden 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.
Uh, huh.
Gentle Reader, do you believe that Wray and Garland weren’t aware of the political sensitivity of a criminal investigation of former president?
Me neither.
BTW, Senator Grassley’s office confirms Thibault has been removed from his post and reassigned to an unspecified position.
UPDATE—The NY Post reports that Thibault has resigned from the FBI.
Hmmmm.
>> reassigned to an unspecified position
Head of whatever the FBI calls their TRADOC section?
So is this the dam breaking or is it eliminating the cutout to insulate the primaries?
Where will his next job be?
CNN or MSNBC?
