FBI’s Anti-Trump Hatchet Man
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Kansas, has disclosed the identity of the FBI’s anti-Trump hatchet man who orchestrated the election interference case against Trump. Grassley says the e-mails underscore glaring irregularities on the part of Timothy Thibault, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Criminal Division in Northern Virginia.
Thibault frequently ranted against Trump on his social media platforms. His emails ultimately led to the formation of the Department of Justice Special Prosecutor’s position, filled by Jack Smith.
The FBI launched its investigation of Trump on April 13, 2022. The project was known inside the agency as “Arctic Frost.”
Grassley divulged details about Thibault during Senate hearings last week on the appointment of Kash Patel as the next FBI director. “Mr. Patel, in my time, I’ve never seen our law enforcement and intelligence community institutions so badly infected with political decision-making. They’ve broken faith with We the People,” Grassley said in his opening statements.
Thibault was fired by the FBI in 2024 for violating the Hatch Act. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia.
