Timothy Thibault was a leading special agent at the FBI who helped oversee the investigation into Hunter Biden and convinced FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate a former sitting President of the United States that he didn't like.
I say was because he was escorted out of the bureau offices by management on Monday after resigning last week:
There's more. Thibault used his position to "juice" domestic extremism stats, because those God-fearing moms at school board meetings have to be stopped from wrongthink at all costs:
He also reportedly tried to oust unvaccinated agents because he assumed they were Trump supporters (you know, because Trump [checks notes] got the vax and keeps boasting about how he practically developed it).
We haven't even gotten to the meat of the story yet, but I have to show you one more thing. Here's Thibault in October 2020 – as an agent involved in the Hunter Biden investigation who knew Hunter's laptop was real – talking about shutting down election fraud around the same time the FBI was contacting Facebook and other social platforms to have them shut down the "disinformation" about said laptop.

You can't make it up.
Okay, now back to the article. The Washington Times had the scoop behind their paywall. Here's Just The News summarizing their 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.
Why did he conceal that this was a partisan witch hunt?
Perhaps his online activity will enlighten us. From Politico earlier this month:
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), who pursued the line of questioning with Wray, said that Thibault — who had been at the FBI for more than 25 years — is now on leave.
Kennedy grilled Wray on Thibault's alleged partisan actions on social media over the past few years, such as "liking" a Washington Post article titled "William Barr has gone rogue" and tweeting to Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) that her father — former Vice President Dick Cheney — was a "disgrace." Kennedy also mentioned Thibault's retweet of a Lincoln Project post saying that "Donald Trump is a psychologically broken, embittered, and deeply unhappy man."
Does that make it clear?
An FBI agent, out of hatred for a commander-in-chief who was duly and fairly elected by the People, used his position to hijack the democratic process by shielding the political candidate that could unseat that president and sway the outcome of the election, then used his status to try to criminally prosecute the president.
From CBS:
In October 2020, one month before the election, "an avenue of derogatory Hunter Biden reporting was ordered closed" by a senior FBI agent at the bureau's Washington Field Office. An earlier letter from Grassley identified the agent as Thibault.
There are words for a person who does this kind of thing – the January 6th Committee has been using them to talk about your grandma who waved a flag at the Capitol.
The penalty for betraying one's commander-in-chief as an officer in the executive branch, if you're wondering, is the same pronounced for Gen. Benedict Arnold when he schemed with British spy commander John Andre to overthrow West Point and George Washington.
But we're not supposed to talk about that.
Look, if Thibault thought he was saving the Republic and democracy, then I understand his actions on some level. At the same time, one can play the hero and be damnably wrong (see Benedict above). And I'm tired of men who play the hero and then don't suffer any consequences when their mini-coups based on delusion unravel completely.
See, in our ongoing banana republic, Thibault isn't under investigation, but is technically retired and will draw sweet taxpayer money from a pension for the rest of his life:
Plot to destroy a democratically elected president and overthrow the election process? Here's a cushy life on the beach for ya!
Back to Just The News:
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.
In short, the agency has absolutely stepped in it.
It has eroded trust with at least half the nation to the point where hundreds of millions of Americans both now and in the future will never again trust the FBI.
Sure, as the stoic insider Republican types keep telling us, most of the agents are genuine patriots who love America and the Constitution.
But how do we know that above them aren't more men like Thibault who are looking to use their position to remake the world according to their own hubris, Constitution be damned?
Are we going to take that risk, or are we simply going to protect our families from the same historical lessons that were learned in other nations over the past century at the hands of State police?
You can't put the chaos back into Pandora's box. The FBI has made its bed, and now it's gonna have to lie in it for a long time to come.
