The FBI Mar-a- Lago team

Full credit to Dilbert for helping me imbed this video. You're a Prince!

As to the video, this seems like pertinent information in regards to the whole raid story.

To summarize, the team of FBI agents behind the raid on Mar-a-Largo are currently subject in two investigations (DOJ I think) and are accused of feeding false info to the FBI concerning Russia gate.
Seems fair.

Hahaha, isn't that some shit. If they are being investigated and the Bureau is aware of that, which I am sure they are. These Agents should be relieved of their investigative duty's until the investigation is completed. This makes the search at Mar- A- Lago invalid.

... Crikey! ... Thanks for the thread, mate.

Surely seem to be sticky wickets all-about
for the FBI these days. ...

... Don't wanna say any more - or I'll get accused
of repeating me-self over and over...

... and over and over.

Also, the same agent wrongly labeled the Hunter Biden laptop as "disinformation".

Whistleblowers’ Reports Reveal Double Standard In Pursuit Of Politically Charged Investigations By Senior FBI, DOJ Officials

Tampering spanned multiple election cycles, infected investigative activity involving Hunter Biden



Multiple FBI whistleblowers, including those in senior positions, are raising the alarm about tampering by senior FBI and Justice Department officials in politically sensitive investigations ranging from election and campaign finance probes across multiple election cycles to investigative activity involving derogatory information on Hunter Biden’s financial and foreign business activities. The legally protected disclosures to Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) suggest a political double standard has influenced and infected decisions in matters of paramount public interest.


There is one article of impeachment that could be used against Wrey and there are many, many more example of "poor performance" ( read corruption ) by the head of the FBI.


Whistleblowers allege that Washington Field Office Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault disregarded agency guidelines requiring substantial factual predication to trigger investigations, while declining to move forward with other investigations despite proper predication. Thibault and Richard Pilger, director of the election crimes branch within the FBI’s public integrity section, reportedly were instrumental in the opening of an investigation into the Trump campaign and its associates based in substantial part on information from left-aligned organization. Thibault allegedly scrubbed and diluted details of the sources’ political bias from a memo seeking the full investigation, which was ultimately approved by FBI Director Chris Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.


Whistleblowers claim that Thibault, Pilger and others didn’t always adhere to agency policies in their supervision of various election-related matters, including campaign finance investigations across multiple presidential election cycles. These claims comport with testimony from former acting Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, who previously told the committee that leadership within the public integrity section and election crimes branch frequently asserted authority they did not have, which frustrated and discouraged investigations.

“Simply put, if a politically charged investigation is to be opened, the Justice Department and FBI have an obligation to ensure that it’s done the right way. Based on the allegations, that does not appear to have happened. Such improper conduct demands further explanation from the Justice Department and FBI,” Grassley wrote in a letter last week to Wray and Garland, which is being made public today.

Grassley previously raised concerns about left-wing social media posts by Thibault, which likely violated federal laws department policies. Following Grassley’s letter, the Inspector General referred Thibault to the Office of Special Counsel for potential Hatch Act violations.

Wray: Allegations ‘troubling’ about FBI agent covering up Hunter Biden information

Timothy Thibault is accused of partisan social media activity and efforts to suppress information in the probe into the president's son’s business activities.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Thursday that allegations of an FBI agent’s partisan social media posts and efforts to suppress information in the investigation into Hunter Biden’s business activities were “deeply troubling.”
Speaking at a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing, Wray appeared to condemn the alleged actions of Timothy Thibault, who he said was an FBI assistant special agent in charge at the Washington field office until “relatively recently.”

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.
