Tony Bobulinski, one of Hunter Biden’s former business associates, is worried that former elite FBI agent Timothy Thibault may have helped hide information he provided the bureau about his relationship with the Biden family, directly familiar sources told The Washington Free Beacon.
Except that wasn’t supposed to happen:
“Someone please remind Democrats that according to the precedent established during Alexander Vindman, nobody gets to question the veracity, the motives and the integrity of great Patriot and naval veteran Tony Bobulinski while giving testimony to the Senate tomorrow.
Check and mate.”

Bobulinski was brave enough to give his story to the national media ahead of the 2020 Presidential election so that American citizens could have all the needed information about the candidates before they cast their votes.
But the FBI was working against him, and now information is coming out that is very suspicious about the FBI’s behavior to help Democrat Joe Biden.
Some highlights from his 2020 press conference include:
“Tony Bobulinski comes out to set the record straight about Joe Biden‘s families deal with China. Tony Bobulinsky says Hunter Biden would say “the big guy or my chairman“ when he was talking about Joe Biden. It was made clear to Tony that Joe Biden‘s name was not to be mentioned in writing but only in face-to-face talks.”
Conservative Treehouse covered the event and described it as:
“In a wild turn of events Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski is expected to hold a press conference in advance of tonight’s debate in Nashville, TN.”

“The sources said Thibault interacted with Tony Bobulinski’s lawyers more than once after his five-hour October 2020 FBI interview in the bureau’s Hunter Biden probe, according to the outlet. They claimed the FBI never contacted Bobulinski after Thibault told the attorneys the bureau would reach out if further information were necessary.
Legislators have brought up accusations that Thibault tried to stifle an FBI inquiry into Hunter Biden, pushed for some cases to be improperly branded “domestic violent extremism,” and had “highly partisan” social media habits. He was removed from a role as assistant special agent in charge at the FBI’s Washington, D.C. field office before retiring last week,” The Daily Caller reported on Monday.
“Recently retired FBI agent Timothy Thibault, just days before the 2020 presidential election, allegedly smothered a whistleblower’s “damning revelations” about Hunter Biden’s business dealings, the New York Post reported,” Charlie McCarthy reported for Newsmax.
Thibault was the then-assigned “point man” to manage whistleblower Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden’s former business partner, the Post reported.
However, following Bobulinski being interviewed secretly by FBI agents for more than five hours on Oct. 23, 2020 — 11 days before the election — Thibault allegedly never followed up with the whistleblower.
“His [Bobulinski’s] evidence appears to have fallen into the same black hole at the FBI as Hunter’s laptop, never to be seen again,” the Post wrote..
The newspaper in mid-October 2020 first reported that Hunter Biden introduced his father, then Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company.
The day before Bobulinski’s FBI interview, the whistleblower revealed in a press conference that Joe Biden was the “Big Guy” — as referred to in an email found on Hunter’s abandoned laptop — due to get a 10% cut of a lucrative joint venture with Chinese energy firm CEFC.
The Post on Sunday night said Bobulinski gave the FBI the contents of three cellphones. The information provided included encrypted messages between Hunter and his business partners, and emails and financial documents detailing how the Biden family peddled its influence in foreign countries during Joe Biden’s vice presidency.
The whistleblower had been told not to walk in the front door of the “nondescript” eight-story building, about a mile from FBI headquarter, but to drive into an underground parking garage when he arrived for the interview.
After being met by James Dawson, then-special agent in charge of the Criminal and Cyber Division, and FBI Supervisory Special Agent Giulio Arseni, Bobulinski was handed over to two younger agents, William Novak and Garrett Churchill, the Post reported.
Novak and Churchill conducted the videotaped interview with Bobulinski and provided a receipt for the whistleblower’s digital data.
The agents paused the interview several times to consult with Dawson, the Post said, and Arseni and an FBI forensic team also came into the room at points.
Thibault’s cellphone number was provided to Bobulinski and the whistleblower’s lawyer. They were told Thibault would be their point man at the FBI thereafter.
But Bobulinski and his lawyer never were contacted again, and the whistleblower was not brought before a Delaware grand jury investigating Hunter.
Bobulinski allegedly described to the FBI how Hunter Biden, his uncle Jim Biden and others used the family name in 2015-16 to help their business dealings in places including Oman, Romania, Georgia, and Kazakhstan.
The whistleblower also told the FBI about Hunter’s lucrative personal relationships with Chinese, Ukrainian, and Romanian power brokers.
