Original Note:
Timothy Thibault was an FBI ASAC but did not have the authority to open criminal investigations https://www.specialagents.org/special-agent-hierarchy https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/archive/special/0509/chapter5.htm The case against Trump for election interference stemmed from a long-running DOJ probe, not from Thibault personally opening an investigation. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/22/merrick-garland-pledges-broad-doj-probe-into-roots-of-capitol-riot.html
