Thibault did not further identify the source in his testimony, but best-selling author Peter Schweizer told
Just the News Sunday that he believes he is the person described in the transcript based on past comments from Thibault and after
The New York Times recently suggested the FBI had received information in the Hunter Biden case from a “right-wing author.”
Schweizer said the FBI approached him and he provided to agents evidence about possible criminality in fall 2020. He said there was no politics involved, just facts and he pushed back on the narrative of the
Times, noting its journalists reported on the Hillary Clinton-funded Steele dossier submitted to the FBI in 2016.
“There are no ‘right wing facts’ or ‘left wing facts.’ There are only facts,” he said. “And of course they happily accepted the unsubstantiated and unsourced dossier from Hillary Clinton’s lawyer without reservation.”
Thibault retired after revelations he had made anti-Trump posts on social media while an agent, and has been a target of sharp
criticism from some Republicans, including Sen. Charles Grassley, (R-Iowa).
But his testimony last week could open an entire new avenue of inquiry for congressional investigators trying to determine if the FBI or Justice Department thwarted certain avenues of inquiry into the Biden family as Joe Biden was preparing to become president.
Thibault's 25-year service record shows his professional work to be non-partisan, and has "reeled in big names while investigating public corruption, sending two Democratic congressmen to prison and overseeing sensitive inquiries into the Clinton Foundation and the former governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, another Democrat" according to
The New York Times.
“It shocked me a bit because … the purpose of a confidential informant is to support a case,” ex-Agent Tim Thibault told Congress. He's not the first law enforcement official to meet roadblocks created to protect Hunter Biden.
