Top-level FBI agent under fire for role in Hunter Biden investigation resigns

[whell]

Timothy Thibault, a top-level FBI agent who had been under fire for his role in investigations regarding President 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.

Thibault, who worked in the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., had recently been removed from his position as assistant special agent in charge at the FBI's Washington Field Office, which covers all of the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia.

Thibault came under fire earlier this year from Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley who had accused him of "improper conduct" in the Hunter Biden investigation, alleging that Thibault had tried to close the probe. The probe into Hunter Biden's business practices, run by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware, is ongoing.

So... guilty until proven innocent. Get back to us when he's indicted for something since that seems to be your benchmark.

By your measure, unless he or Hunter Biden has been indicted, they did nothing wrong. That said, the laptop and its contents will never see the inside of a courtroom as its provenance and chain of custody can't be shown.

Here is Whell's source guys and this is the usual deflection from $45 which then Faux trumpets and Magats repeat senselessly.

A security source told Fox News that Thibault, who worked at the FBI's Washington Field Office, was escorted out of the building on Friday as is standard practice when an agent leaves.

Thibault had recently been accused of being "politically biased" by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, in a letter sent to FBI director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Trump reacted to the news on his Truth Social website, saying: "The fired agent who was just escorted out of the FBI headquarters is the person who got the FBI to do a Raid on a home, Mar-a-Lago, that has "stirred" the World and created anger and hostility toward the FBI and DOJ the likes of which have perhaps never been seen in our Country before.

That's correct, which is why I posted the story without comment.

Still, all we know is that the guy retired and that crotchety old fart, Chuck Grassley, had criticized him. I guess that's some earth-shattering news for the MAGA crowd.

CBS News ain't what it once was. For chrissake, they recently hired Mick Mulvaney, a guy who, as acting WH Chief of Staff, told the media to "get over it" after admitting that Trump's phone call with Zelensky was a "quid pro quo." And then later he wrote in the WSJ that "If Trump loses, he will concede gracefully." This ain't Walter Cronkite's CBS News.
