FBI special agent who opened Trump investigation reportedly escorted out of Bureau
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Former 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. 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.
Just the News has reached out to the FBI press office for comment.

This might mean that Director Wray will be able to answer one question on Thursday......."He's gone" Let us not look any further or investigate!
In the meantime, John Solomon is still waiting for an FBI comment.
Well that settles it then! And he was being "escorted"? Was he in cuffs? No? Then he could have been going to lunch with some of the "headquarters-looking types"?
Ah yes, the unnamed unknown 'whistleblowers' who conservatives only trust if they are blowing in their ears and telling them what they want to hear. If a whistleblower is giving a narrative they don't want to hear of course they are ridiculed, dismissed and laughed at for being "anonymous" and thus not to be believed. Right wing conservative hypocrisy truly knows no bounds.
And? So what? Did they find classified and top secret documents Trump shouldn't have had or should have turned over months ago when requested? Yes. The lame effort by some right wing conservative dip shits to defend and deflect for dirty Donald is truly sad to watch as they continue to debase themselves for one of the most disgusting dishonest pigs on the planet.
That IS what the article states clearly.
No he resigned!....in Disgrace
Ah yes, the unnamed unknown 'whistleblowers'
An unprecedented 14 of them!!!

It has nothing to do with the document controversy. It was about shutting down the Hunter Biden investigation.
Partisan bias? In the age of the Trump everything is partisan. "I know more than anybody about anything," the orange maga mop head. And that covers that.
Without a doubt.
Everyplace they go!
This whole thing is on the verge of backfiring on Garland!
Backfiring on Garland? Really? Well, Durham still on the public dole, right? So your point would be what? And, so your proof would be what?
