Thibault Story Continues, DOJ Plans Obstruction Charge

The saga of Timothy Thibault, the FBI agent on the Russiagate team, responsible for the FBI warning Facebook that the Hunter Biden laptop might be Russian disinformation, and was in in the planning of the Mar-a-Lago Panty Raid, and was suddenly escorted from the building on Friday, continues. Stacy McCain, ‘Deep State’ Cracking Up? Top FBI Agent Resigns Amid Political Bias Charges.

Thibault worked hand-in-hand with the same operatives involved in all this anti-Trump activity at the FBI, and the fact that Wray is throwing him under the bus now suggests maybe they don’t trust him to keep their dirty secrets hush-hush. So I’m going to get ahead of the news cycle here and declare: Timothy Thibault did not commit suicide.

Sauron's Eye admits, Top-level FBI agent under fire for role in Hunter Biden investigation resigns. Gabe Kaminsky at Da Caller adds to his resume, FBI Boss Who Quit After Allegedly Blocking Hunter Biden Probe Also Reportedly Pushed To Pad Domestic Terror Data. At Haut Hair, Capt. Ed dares question the "resigned" part of the story, Escorts: Did FBI agent in Hunter probe retire after whistleblower allegations -- or get fired? "There are still a couple of shoes left to drop here, and maybe much more than that. If Republicans manage to take control of the Senate in the midterms, expect all of these figures and more to get subpoenaed, especially in regard to Grassley’s biggest allegation here of the FBI attempting to cross a congressional committee."New Neo, “Two US officials” now saying Thibault wasn’t fired. Ace, Hyperpartisan Democrat Operator and FBI Agent Bizarrely Assigned to Both Crossfire Hurricane and Then the Hunter Biden Laptop Coverup Either "Fired" or "Forced Out". My guess is he'll have resigned (under pressure), keep his pension and get an MSNBC gig. 

Nick Arama at Red State sees Merrick Garland trying to shut down whistleblowers, Smells Like Cover-up: Garland Tries to Shut Down DOJ Employees Talking to Congress. Mike Davis@mrddmia, " Attorney Garland Merrick Garland just sent out a message to everyone at the Justice Department, ordering no one may contact Congress. (My source: Congress.) Why didn’t he order a similar gag on the inappropriate and illegal Justice Department leaks to the media? Coverup." At the BH, Rachael Rollins is being investigated for potential Hatch Act violation, as DOJ restricts political activities, "Collins attended a DNC fundraiser with First Lady Jill Biden in Massachusetts."

NYT (cited at Haut Hair) whines Trump request for special master could open door to delay in Mar-a-Lago probe. Sundance at CTH, DOJ Files Response to Trump Motion for Special Master Review, Supported by Lawfare Crew Filing Amicus Brief to Bolster DOJ Position "Essentially the position of the DOJ boils down to… They have already reviewed the material. Yes, there was attorney-client privilege material seized; but they swear the internal team segregated the legally confidential material and the DOJ investigators & prosecutors didn’t see it – double pinkie swear, yer honor." In the event that doesn't work, ET reports Anti-Trump Academic Floated as Possible Special Master in Trump Records Case. Also from Sundance, Kash Patel Confirms Seized Documents from Mar-a-Lago Raid Were Evidence Showing DOJ and FBI Corruption in Trump-Russia Probe

At NYT (cited at Haut Hair) another DOJ "leak", Photo: The classified documents at Mar-a-Lago "So the DOJ filing with the photo of classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago (pg. 18), shows them next to a box of frames, including a Time Magazine cover with Trump on it." So how do we know Trump didn't declassify the documents? At Am Spec Jed Babbin demands Release the Entire FBI Mar-a-Lago Affidavit.

WaPoo, Justice Dept. says Trump team may have hidden, moved classified papers, "Prosecutors’ filing suggests Trump advisers misled officials trying to recover sensitive papers; photo shows papers marked ‘Top Secret’ spread out on the floor." At Town Hall, Matt Vespa says The Next Chapter of the FBI's Trump Raid Saga Just Dropped. At the Politico Playbook, Trump likely obstructed classified records probe, DOJ says  Vicky Taft at PJ Media, '6 Ways From Sunday' Alert: Yet ANOTHER NEW PROBE Into Trump's Declassified Docs

The Biden Administration took a National Archives dispute with the last president (which happens with all presidents), elevated it to the White House to blow up the previous president’s privileges (which have been enjoyed by all presidents), parlayed that to a grand jury, and got its subpoena ham sandwich. The Feds then waited until its hand-picked anti-Trump magistrate — not a federal judge — was on the bench and Trump wasn’t home and got the okay for a search warrant for presidential records. Then they dispatched the phalanx of 30 gunned-up FBI raiders, who rifled through the family’s personal items for nine hours to get every document Trump ever touched during his four years in office, trying to find something — anything — on the 45th president. With the documents in their possession, the Feds declined to wait for an actual Article III judge to weigh in on a federal special master to go through the items. They went right ahead and culled through them, lateraled them over to their buddy the DNI, and we now have the intelligence community — which is meant to go after terrorists — playing Monday-morning quarterback on the 45th President of the United States. . . . There are no coincidences.

At Breitbart, House Oversight GOP Questions National Archives’ Statement on Its Involvement in FBI Raid on Trump. Lloyd Billingsley at Front Page is unhappy with Bill Barr - All-In With the Mar-a-Lago Raid. Via the Wombats In The Mailbox: 08.30.22, Don Surber: WSJ takes on the FBI. On a lighter note, from Althouse, "When the Monkees launched their inaugural tour in 1967, they played to throngs of screaming teenagers – and at least one FBI informant." No threat to the nation too small. At NR, (cited at Haut Hair), never-Trumper Kevin Williamson encourages (Political) crime and (legal) punishment. AllahPundit at Haut Hair glumly, Ann Coulter on Trump: "He's done. It's over." "Yeah, I don’t know. He doesn’t look done to me."

The redoubtable Julie Kelly takes day off the J6 panel to examine how the Obama-Era ‘Sisters’ Circle Trump, "Will the trio of Susan Rice, Avril Haines, and Lisa Monaco get their target or will their exaggerated sense of self finally catch up with them?"

 KT at Haut Hair points out Biden hires MSNBC pundit who signed letter that Hunter's laptop story was Russian disinformation to the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. Ace, New Biden Appointee to White House "Intelligence" Board Pushed Deep State Disinformation That Hunter Biden's Laptop Was a Russian Op, "He did exactly what The Big Guy who promised him future employment told him to do." Also, in all caps, italicized, and with a flaming skull being kissed by Joe Biden, JOE BIDEN CHOOSES A HENCHWOMAN OF LOIS LERNER -- WHO DIRECTED THE IRS TO TARGET CONSERVATIVES -- TO LEAD NEW "SURGE" OF 87,000 IRS AGENTS. One of those whose hard drives mysteriously destructed.

Nick Arama at Red State describes how Biden Tells a Mountain of Horrible Lies About Jan. 6 and Republicans in PA. At HE, BREAKING: Biden Warns 'Brave Right-Wing' Americans—'If You Want to Fight Against the Country, You Need an F-15', like the Taliban. At Twitchy, DNC adviser tells MSNBC that the Republican Party should be treated as a domestic terrorist cell. Jack Cashill at Am Think thinks about Reiner, Klobuchar and the Big Lie of January 6.

Margo Cleveland at Da Fed explains why Zuckerberg’s Admission Of FBI Meddling In 2020 Election Is Even Bigger Than It Seems "Zuckerberg’s admission reveals a deeper scandal: It was the FBI and not social media that stole the election from Donald Trump." Both can be true.

ET reports Secret Service Official at Heart of Jan. 6 Hearing Retires "His retirement now poses the question of whether he is still available to testify before the Jan. 6 committee, considering that his name came up when Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified before the committee in late June."

And just to finish, two day worth of election links!
