Ex-FBI Agent Thibault Retains Legal Counsel, Denies Some Allegations Against Him

Ashley Oliver 30 Aug 2022

Former FBI official Timothy Thibault, who has faced multiple whistleblower allegations, responded Tuesday to media reports that he left the bureau, saying in a statement through his legal counsel he “voluntarily retired” from his job and denying some allegations leveled against him.

Thibault, who is being provided pro bono services by Morrison & Foerster LLP, confirmed through his counsel that his last day at the FBI was Friday, as reported by several outlets, but clarified that he “was not fired, not forced to retire, and not asked to retire.”

Thibault, who formerly served as an assistant special agent in charge at the FBI’s Washington Field Office, said he “informed his supervisors about a month ago that he intended to retire.”

His exit from the FBI comes in a year when Thibault is being investigated by the Office of Special Counsel for a potential Hatch Act violation after he allegedly displayed political bias, including anti-Trump bias, on his social media, and as he has faced multiple whistleblower allegations.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, brought the political bias allegations to light in May.

In one instance, Grassley noted, Thibault used Twitter to retweet a post from the Never Trump Lincoln Project that read, “Donald Trump is a psychologically broken, embittered, and deeply unhappy man.” In another instance, Thibault allegedly responded in a tweet to Catholic priest Fr. Frank Pavone and Trump to “focus on the pedophiles” after Pavone criticized the impeachment of Trump and praised the former president’s pro-life stance.

The Washington Examiner in May also thoroughly detailed many examples of political bias, purportedly from Thibault’s Twitter account, and noted the same Twitter account quickly became private and blocked the outlet after the bias allegations surfaced.

Thibault’s legal statement noted he is “fully cooperating” with the Hatch Act investigation and “expects to be fully exonerated.”

In July, Grassley sent a letter to both the FBI and Justice Department demanding documentation related to the FBI’s handling of information about Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s embattled son.

This script was written weeks ago.

Thibault got his hand caught in the cookie jar, and will take the fall, with a sweetheart deal.

Garland isn't going let any of his henchmen suffer.  Watch for either (1) No charges (2) Plea deal of suspended sentence, and forced from agency.   But will get enough money under the table money to live in perpetuity.
