FBI Agent Who Opened Trump Investigation Reportedly Escorted Out of Bureau

Former FBI 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 in 2020 unrelated to the raid, according to information made public by Sen. Charles Grassley.

Those whistleblower allegations have raised questions about the bureau as it also deals with the fallout of the raid on Trump’s home earlier this month.

In that matter, 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.

Grassley confirmed to Just the News prior to the raid that Thibault had been removed from his post and reassigned to an unspecified position.

    One more MAJOR REASON OF NOT TRUSTING THE FBI/DOJ. The coverup of Hunteris not only illegal, but has made a mochary of the Federal Justice system. I don’t give a crap if corrupt Joey is his daddy, Joey needs to recuse himself from the Hunter laptop.
    Joey has once again corrupted our government with his mindless thinking. Garland needs to go forward on Hunter along with Clinton. Wray and Garland are the most corrupt individuals ever!
