    For people asking for other sources:

    https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/is-the-fbi-truly-biased-against-trump

    It’s this agent, who was involved in investigating Hunter Biden and Rudy Giuliani. He turned whistleblower after charging that FBI leadership and Bill Barr squashed the investigation into Giuliani.

    His house was raided in 2023: https://www.newsweek.com/fbi-raids-home-trump-whistleblower-johnathan-buma-1843737

    he resigned right as he was arrested in 2025: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/former-agent-who-accused-fbi-of-political-bias-is-charged-with-disclosing-confidential-records

    his court cases pending, he’s writing a book, running for congress

    https://ftw.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2025/05/01/fbi-whistleblower-johnathan-buma-files-to-run-for-congress-in-arizona/83368871007/

    and he did a recent interview with Germany media, where he made the claims about Musk and Thiel that are in the foreign news (not covered much by US media)

    This 2023 article claims Thiel was an informant / source for Buma

      Well then that just makes it curious that the linked article cited absolutely no sources when there is evidence available. Even if this story is apparently true I would trust absolutely nothing from that site.

        Lmfao no sources? I just linked you a variety of articles from various sources outlining a very clear timeline of events. The source is the literal guy investigating the situation, what do you mean no sources? He’s claiming the department he works in isn’t doing their job and he’s claiming someone is a Russian plant. Let’s step back and consider the following;

        • Everything Trump does parrots Russian sentiment from pressure on Ukraine to harassing our allies about tariffs.

        • Trump’s history with the Russian Mafia and Giuliani. Probably don’t know this but Giuliani had a lot of praise for how he handled the Italian Mafia in New York, he swapped them for the Russian mob. You literally see this happen in media too, the Italian Mafia fades away as the bad guy and is replaced by the Russians: see Kickass, John Wick, etc. Reflects the cultural change.

        • Trump’s history as Roy Cohn’s second, alongside Roger Stone who oddly got Bush elected in 2000 with help from the Proto-Proud Boys. Roy Cohn is a character that outlines everything the Republican party embraces today.

        • His consistent relationship with known pedophiles and human trafficking from his weird pageants to his relationship with Epstein and the numerous claims of abuse from many many sources.

        • The Mueller report outlines his entire relationship with Russians with support from the Steele Dossier.

        • This agent himself has clearly been trying to get a message across, he hasn’t been allowed to present his case and has clearly been harassed by the administration.

        Nepotism, cronyism, relationship with folk like Paul Manafort, Maria Butina and Michael Cohen who is Trump’s longtime lawyer and has in court spoken of most of this.

        The fuck more evidence you want? Trump’s nuts in your mouth after he raped a child? A video of him and Putin admitting to everything? Like you people are complete baboons and nobody is buying your shit lmfao c’mon man

          First of all, I’m not reading all that. Second, I was talking about the article linked by op. That article had no sources. (I’m now explaining this for the second time) If there are plenty of sources, as in the ones YOU linked, I’m questioning why the article that is the subject of this post was written citing absolutely nothing. It was a shitty article devoid of anything resembling journalism.

          I wasn’t coming at you, I was coming at the shitty site with the shitty article linked by op.
