Constitution
Trouble at the FBI
The FBI is in trouble, and we see dissension in the ranks, by reason of its clearly unconstitutional actions and recent history.
Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 2nd day of September in the year of our Lord 2022. I will be talking about the FBI and the accusations about it and the Department of Justice that have come to light over the last few years. Is the FBI still the nation’s premier law enforcement agency and above reproach? Or has it devolved into just another corrupt agency acting as the muscle of the Democrat Party.
FBI – Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity? Not at the top!
There are so many scandals inside the FBI right now that it is hard to keep them straight until you realize that they are all tied together. The motto of the FBI is Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity, and I’m sure that it accurately describes most of the men and women out there on the front lines. It does not, however, accurately describe the leadership of the FBI which appears to be irretrievably corrupt.
When I say corrupt, I don’t mean they sell their badges for money like some traffic cop in a third world country. No, the FBI leadership is far worse than that, having tarnished their badges and their honor in a long list of vile, partisan activities on behalf of the globalist forces that run this administration and constantly tell us what we are supposed to believe, who we are supposed to vote for, and that all lies are truth, and all truth is lies, but let’s look at the evidence.
Weaponized intelligence community
During the presidential election campaign of 2016 and especially after Trump was elected the entire intelligence community of the United States was weaponized to prevent the election of Donald Trump and ensure the election of Hillary Clinton. When that part of the plot failed, the plotters continued after the election to smear and discredit then President Trump and his administration. Originally the plot was given the codename operation Crossfire Hurricane and was launched by the FBI in July 2016. The FBI set out to investigate the many links that were supposed to exist between officials of the Russian Government, Russian Bureaucrats, and Russian Oligarchs and the Trump Campaign.
I’m sure you are aware that the entire plot was invented by the mind of Hillary Clinton or those within her campaign. Once Crossfire Hurricane was launched, it became all Russia all the time and to some extent that same ideology still exists today long after the entire thing was proven to be a hoax. The result has been the destruction of a once proud organization which inserted itself unconstitutionally into partisan politics. I wonder if the corruption of the 2016 campaign by the FBI and others was a one-off thing or evidence of corruption in high places going back many years.
FBI hid the Hunter Biden Laptop
You probably remember the Hunter Biden laptop scandal which came into public view in October 2020 just before the election. Hunter took his laptop to a repair shop in Delaware and did not pick it up. In addition to thousands of pornographic images of Hunter smoking crack with prostitute there was evidence of influence peddling of his father’s influence as vice president and soon to be president as well as many other potential crimes involving foreign countries including Communist China.
The New York Post broke the story and reported that the laptop was authentic and contained authentic information. The New York Times and many other media reported that it was just more Russian disinformation. Finally, almost a year after Biden was elected, the New York Times reluctantly admitted that it was authentic. A few days ago, Mark Zuckerberg CEO of Meta, formerly Facebook, went on the Joe Rogan podcast and made an admission that is still getting noticed by congressional committees.
Facebook gets a heads up
Whistle blowers inside the FBI, apparently more than a dozen of them, contacted members of Congress and reported that the FBI had suppressed the reporting of the laptop scandal by various media outlets, one of which was Facebook. Mr. Zuckerberg said the FBI told him that there was a lot of Russian disinformation coming and to be vigilant of it. “You should be on high alert” the FBI said to him We know there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, and we have it on notice that there is going to be some kind of dump that is similar. More than 50 former senior intelligence officials signed a letter claiming the laptop story had all the earmarks of a Russian disinformation operation. In other words, the FBI recruited social media companies as accomplices to its crimes against the American people.
Twitter kills it
Zuckerberg said dissemination of the story on Facebook decreased I supposed from the fear of the warning, but Twitter killed the story entirely. He was basically saying we knew this was a hyper political story so on our side of the political spectrum we didn’t censor enough, but to the other side they think we censored too much. He did reveal openly to the world that the Democrat Party wants censorship of unfavorable information, and the FBI is their enforcement arm. Like the old mafia movies where the two heavies go into a pizza joint in Philadelphia and say nice place you got here, be a shame if something happened to it
The agent in charge of delivering the FBI’s message was one Timothy Thibault, assistant special agent in charge of the Washington Field Office. Special Agent Thibault came under the ire of several senators and congressmen who sent the FBI letters of inquiry. He was at first suspended, then escorted out of the FBI building, and now it has come to light that he has resigned, restated as retired after 25 years of service. According to letters released by Senator Chuck Grassley and others Agent Thibault ordered the investigation closed in violation of FBI policy. He then attempted to mark the matter in FBI systems so that it could not be reopened in the future.
The FBI deliberately showed bias
The whistleblowers told members of congress that FBI leadership told agents, “You will not look at that Hunter Biden laptop and the FBI is not going to change the outcome of the election again.” Senator Grassley writing to Christopher Wray, the Director of the FBI, said that it showed a deeply rooted political infection in the FBI. Senator Grassley and others think that agent Thibault’s head was offered as a sacrificial lamb hoping the rest would escape unscathed, but he said that would not happen. The senator said Thibault’s departure changed nothing about questions involving FBI bias in its investigations.
Agent Thibault was apparently open about displaying his bias on social media therefore I quote the agent in charge of this investigation:
I wrote that Hunter became a liability when Biden was the frontrunner in the Democratic primary because of his cushy position on the Burisma Board when Dad was vice-president. Senator Grassley then started a probe in August 2019 over the sale of a sensitive U.S. technology company to the Chinese government and an investment firm run by the sons of Joe Biden and John Kerry.
Worse allegations
If the laptop protection scheme was all it would be plenty but as usual it gets worse. Ironically, agent Thibault was part of the election integrity team for 2020, and in the Washington field office he was responsible for investigating political corruption. Note I said he was in charge of investigating, not creating, political corruption. It finally came to light after inquiries by Republicans, that the raid on Mar-a-Lago was run out of the Washington field office, not Florida as first reported. Guess who was in charge of the Washington Field Office, that’s right, Special Agent Timothy Thibault.
The Trump Raid
Former President Trump’s home is raided by the FBI apparently on very shaky to non-existent probable cause while the same FBI has not even looked at Hunter’s laptop or at Hunter personally despite him being the president’s son and despite open evidence of criminality that the whole world has seen. What this does for the credibility of the FBI and for that matter the reputation of the U.S. Government is obvious.
The protection racket being run by those in power appears to be under serious pressure right now. Everyday we read in The New York Times some possible justification for the raid, but how can it possibly be justified when it was organized and conducted by totally corrupt people inside a totally corrupt organization. What could all this inquiry mean? Perhaps nothing, but if it means anything could it be that there are at least a few people left in the old FBI who are embarrassed about the chief law enforcement arm of a once great nation letting open criminality of the president’s son slide while others are prosecuted without evidence.
Thibault out – what does this mean?
Thibault’s removal or retirement probably means something but who knows what. There has been an extremely intense amount of pressure coming from the senate about the open partisanship of the FBI in the laptop scandal, and perhaps someone up there is not a partisan two-bit hack for political interests. Christopher Wray the FBI Director and Merrick Garland, the attorney general, have not stopped being partisan political hacks on the payroll of enemies of freedom, but maybe the heat has been turned up to such a temperature that they can’t hide it anymore.
News coming from Mar-a-Lago this week has made it difficult to uphold the façade without some explanation that is yet to be forthcoming. The media, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party, has continued to flood us with negative speculative stories without any proof except what leaks out of the corrupt FBI. In the meantime, a judge ordered the release of the affidavit that was used to get the search warrant. Granted, it was redacted enough that only a forensic expert could decipher it, but apparently some of those did.
The Washington Field Office ran the raid
That is how we learned that despite the blackout the raid was run out of the Washington field office, not the local Florida office as they first reported. The head of that office Timothy Thibault was forced to retire and was escorted out of the building. Now we also learn that some of the documents taken were protected by attorney client privilege, in other words this was a fishing expedition to keep a political opponent out of future races. Agent Thibault violated and directed FBI agents to violate Donald Trump’s constitutional rights. Mr. Thibault and his organization obviously felt no obligation to obey the law themselves, only to impose their version of the law on others.
That attitude is reminiscent of the intelligence arms of other less than Democratic countries that we remember from history. Since he is known to be corrupt and a law violator, who knows what other crimes agent Thibault has committed during his 25 years. Obstruction of justice in the Clinton email non-investigation and the same in the Hunter laptop non-investigation to name just two. Whistleblowers have also reported to members of Congress that Agent Thibault urged or ordered them to pad domestic Violent extremist case counts to satisfy “performance metrics.”
FBI agents risk their careers
This is all a lot more than rumor and innuendo because more than a dozen agents have been so disturbed by it that they risked their careers to contact congress with information. I suppose that they resent being dirtied by the leader’s filth and would prefer their reputations back. These agents are backing up their stories with documentary evidence of crimes. Mr. Timothy Thibault, Mr. Christopher Wray, Mr., Merrick Garland, and others are sworn to uphold the law. They are the nation’s first line of defense against terrorism, political corruption and such mundane crimes as bank robbery, money laundering, and human trafficking.
Instead of upholding the law they rig the system so the crimes can continue in the dark. I suspect that Christopher Wray and his boss Merrick Garland will try to sacrifice Agent Thibault in exchange for his retirement benefits, etc. I notice that Thibault has retained a Washington law firm so perhaps he has not bought in on the deal yet. Or perhaps he is going to bring down the whole house with him.
Conclusion
Finally, folks, I’ve heard that a fish rots from the head down and maybe that is true of nations and empires as well. How can this nation survive such people in high places? Sunshine is always the best disinfectant so perhaps the sun will shine on the FBI, the DOJ, and the U.S. Government in general.
At least that’s the way I see it.
Until next time folks,
This is Darrell Castle.
