| Top FBI agent resigns amid claims he shielded Hunter Biden from probe: report |
| 2022-08-30 |
| [NYPost] Hope it's just the start of the weeding out. This POS Timothy has poisoned the system for too long A top FBI agent at the Washington field office reportedly resigned from his post last week after facing intense scrutiny over allegations he helped shield Hunter Biden from criminal investigations into his laptop and business dealings. Timothy Thibault, an FBI assistant special agent in charge, was allegedly forced out after he was accused of political bias in his handling of probes involving President Biden’s son, sources told the Washington Times on Monday. The agent was escorted out of the field office by at least two "headquarters-looking types" last Friday, the sources said. Thibault and the FBI didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment on Monday. Thibault, a 25-year-veteran, had already been on leave for a month after the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), started raising concerns about whistleblower claims the FBI had obstructed its own investigations into the first son. Timothy Thibault, an FBI assistant special agent in charge, was reportedly forced out after being accused of political bias in the handling of Hunter Biden probes. In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray in July, Grassley said Thibault and FBI supervisory intelligence analyst Brian Auten were allegedly involved in "a scheme" to "undermine derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation." Thibault also allegedly tried to kill off a valid avenue of investigation of possible Hunter Biden criminality up until at least one month before the Nov. 2020 election, according to Grassley. "Thibault allegedly ordered the matter closed without providing a valid reason as required by FBI guidelines.... [and] subsequently attempted to improperly mark the matter in FBI systems so that it could not be opened in the future," Grassley wrote. It was the same month The Post first started reporting on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, which included troves of emails related to his shady overseas business dealings. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg revealed last week that the social media giant suppressed The Post’s bombshell Hunter Biden report following a vague FBI warning about possible "Russian propaganda" tied to the 2020 presidential election. Internal disciplinary measures prior to discharge? Detailed investigation? Co-conspirators? Oh well WTF, we'll just let him slide out the back door with pay, benefits, clearance, etc. It's for the good of the organization, you'll see. |

| #4 If he resigned does he keep his pension? Does he get a pass on prosecution? Try him for treason because that is what gross interference in a Federal Election amounts to. |
