[JustTheNews] Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Thursday released a series of whistleblower records that allegedly show a former FBI agent who was known for being anti-Donald Trump, played an important role in Jack Smith's 2020 election interference case.
Grassley and Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson claimed that internal emails and records show that former FBI agent Timothy Thibault,
…who was admirably placed as Agent in Charge of the Washington Field Office to cause the kind of trouble he rejoiced in…
who was fired in 2024 for violating the Hatch Act, sent a subordinate an email that included the language for what ultimately became Smith's false elector case.
The investigation into Trump was formally opened by the FBI on April 13, 2022, and was known inside the agency as "Arctic Frost."
Thibault also allegedly improperly took action to open the investigation into Trump's role in the 2020 election interference case because he was not authorized to open investigations in his role, according to Fox News.
Grassley mentioned the whistleblower disclosures during President Donald Trump's nominee for FBI Director Kash Patel's confirmation hearing on Thursday, where he emphasized the American people's lack of trust in the bureau.
"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.
"Partisan FBI agents and DOJ officials tried – and ultimately succeeded – in launching a full-field criminal investigation and prosecution of the President of the United States," he continued. "Justice Department and FBI leadership acted in concert to further a political scheme to take down Trump ... They have yet to learn their lesson ... As I’ve said before, if a politically-charged investigation is to be opened, it must be done the right way. That didn’t happen here."
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] President Donald Trump ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... settled with Meta Platforms for $25 million after the social media giant suspended his accounts following the January 6, 2021, protests at the US Capitol.
$22 million from the settlement will go to President Trump's presidential library. The rest will go to legal fees and to fellow plaintiffs who signed on to the case.
Meta did not admit to any wrongdoing in the settlement.
The Wall Street Journal reported that activity on the case after Mark Zuckerberg ...the Peewee Herman clone who owns Facebook. He's got more money than Croesus and thinks he should be regulated by the government because it does such a nifty job with all the other stuff it regulates.... flew to Mar-a-Lago to dine with President Trump in November after his 2024 election victory.
Apparently, Trump brought up the lawsuit at the end of dinner with Zuckerberg in November. Then in January, Zuckerberg met with President Trump again for a full day of mediation at Mar-a-lago.
Facebook has been censoring conservative voices and the truth from reaching the masses for several years now.
Obviously, this is not the only censorship case Meta is involved in.
Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook eliminated up to 93% of traffic to top Pro-Trump websites following the 2016 election.
The Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft testified to Congress on the oppressive Facebook policies back in 2018.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported in May 2022 that Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, along with Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, filed a lawsuit (Missouri v. Biden) against the Biden Administration, including Biden himself, Anthony Fauci, the Department of Homeland Security, and nearly a dozen federal agencies and Secretaries.
The suit alleges a massive coordinated effort by the Deep State to work with Big Tech to censor and manipulate Americans — from average citizens to news outlets — on issues including the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell, 2020 Election Integrity, COVID-19 origin and extent skepticism, COVID-19 vaccine skepticism, among other issues.

[NY Post] So much winning
Chuck Todd is taking his podcast and going home.
The former "Meet the Press" moderator circulated a memo to colleagues at NBC News informing them that he would be departing 30 Rock, according to several reports. Todd confirmed his departure.
His last day at NBC News was Friday.
"There’s never a perfect time to leave a place that’s been a professional home for so long, but I’m pretty excited about a few new projects that are on the cusp of going from ’pie in the sky’ to ’near reality,’ Todd told NBC News staffers in a memo Friday.
"So I’m grateful for the chance to get a jump start on my next chapter during this important moment."
