FBI Agent Tim Thibault Who Opened Trump Investigation Is Escorted from Headquarters

a reply to: Arnie123
What office was in charge of the raid?
What office did he work in?

This is why it is important to use multiple sources especially when one of the primary sources on a thread has a confirmed bias like TGP does.

TGP makes sure this is in the headline of their article , "FBI Agent Tim Thibault Who Opened Trump Investigation Is Escorted from Headquarters " but conspicuously does not mention anywhere in the article on this topic the following 2 key points:

1. Thibault retired over the weekend, according to a source familiar with the matter.
2. He was walked out of the building on Friday, which is standard procedure, per the source.

www.foxnews.com...

Multiple other sites also seem to leave out that the being escorted out of the building is common place for someone that has retired vs trying to turn it into some dramatic perp walk. Still a few out there do call attention to this being a common practice.

Timothy Thibault, a top-level FBI agent who had been under fire for his role in investigations regarding President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, resigned late last week and was walked out of the FBI, two U.S. officials confirmed. But these officials also said that Thibault had reached retirement age, and they added that all of those who retire hand over their badge and gun and are escorted out of the building.

wtop.com...

Once you get beyond that poor though expected sensationalistic journalism by multiple sites the following seems clear about Thibault:

Rather than face the consequences of his actions and the consequences of betraying his oath it appears he took his retirement. While technically there is nothing wrong with that it's hard to know if evidence was not mounting would he have made the same retirement choice. My guess from reading everything I can is this is a way he decided to escape the fire. Assuming that the information continues to build this way and it shows he broke laws then I hope he faces the full consequences that can be applied to any criminal wrong doing he has done. If no laws were broken but rather codes of conduct or ethics were broken then any future benefits from successfully retiring should be removed or prevented from his receiving them.

As much as multiple posters here refuse to believe it there are bad actors on both the Left and Right and when those people are in positions of influence or power and abuse that position then I feel they should face even stronger repercussions.

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.

and yet:

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.

Strange set of wording and circumstances.

Try to get this one simple truth to sink in.

The investigation was initiated through the Washington field office.
The warrant was generated out of the Washington field office.
A federal judge out of the Washington district approved the warrant.
If I am not mistaken, agents out of the Washington field office conducted the raid.

Tim Thibault was the Special Agent in charge of the Washington field office the entire time.

all these crimes nobody charged in 6/7 years? lol

come on guys its all a PsyOps its getting more obvious by the day

its only to make the US seem chaotic and entice Russia and china to make a move, looks like its working a treat

putin was stupid enough, ccp look like they're just gonna chicken out and go down in flames

but what it also does is it exposes actual threats working with russia & china against and to undermine our democracies

perfect PsyOps imo

The Washington field office is led by the Assistant Director in Charge. That has been Steven D'Antuono since 2020. Under him there are four Special Agents in Charge and an Intelligence Analyst in Charge. Each SAC heads a separate division. The division that handled the MAL was the Counterintelligence division. Anthony Riedlinger has been the SAC for that division since last year.

Thibault was an Assistant Special Agent in Charge. I can't find any specific reference to what division he was the ASAC for but based off a news story from 2020, it looks like he was part of the Criminal/Cyber Division, which has been headed by Wayne Jacobs since last year.

The magistrate that signed off on the warrant was from the Southern District of Florida.

*gasp*

Some of us are old enough to remember the guy.

Keep defending these goons. It's been a pleasure to watch. Truly.

You mean the case that just resulted in two convictions on the federal level and is currently in preliminary hearings at the state level to charge six others?

Wow, the FBI really needs to be destroyed, dismantle and start from the top to the bottom as a new agency, FBI is beyond repair.

I don't intend to spread disinformation but I'm to the point of not following these matters as closely as I once did, and therefore, am susceptible to mistakes.
Actually, I have lost faith in this nation's ability to overcome the evil that has swept across this nation and resolved myself to the truth that our Republic is lost.
What I do know is that the Democratic Party will and has done everything in it's power to gain and retain power and control over this nation, to the point of destroying it.
All the while, many here work in defense of their evil intent.

I willingly stand corrected.

I mean the one where 2 had their cases dismissed, and 2 convicted and the rest were feds or fed hall monitors.

Like I said, pure joy.

Two were found not guilty. Two had a mistrial and were found guilty in their second trial. One plead guilty. Those were all the ones with federal charges.

But there's six others that have state charges. They're currently in preliminary hearings.

That's certainly a lot of arrests for something you guys try to claim was nothing.

No comment on the agent that just got sheet canned?

Why not?

Imagine had the FBI not stirred the pot?

It is, was nothing.

They were entrapped and goaded by your dear FBI.

I've been talking about Thibault since this morning. Gateway Pundit lied about him being the reason for the raid at MAL. He wasn't even part of the division that is responsible for that investigation.

a reply to: Xcalibur254

I think you should do your homework first before calling
other people liars. Thibault goes way back to the Peter
Strzok days and he traveled to Prague in collusion with Nellie Ohr.

He was part and parcel of The Russia Hoax.

Here, I'll even post a legit document for you.

Gateway Pundit is great fodder, which is why important topics
like this use it for a source. It works great for posters like you
who regularly come on and ignore the topic, derail with but Trump,
and attack the source.
