Plenty of credible other sources https://search.brave.com/search?q=wall+street+journal+buma+fbi+bond but most of them are about his arrest two months ago re Giuliani not Musk or Thiel.

Here is a seven minute video of him talking about his Biden investigation which turned into a Giuliani investigation but his bosses wanted him to stick to Biden only.

Here is a very detailed recent one about about his recent release on $100k bond - it says he is running for Congress as a ‘Resistance’ Democrat in Arizona. No Thiel or Musk mention here.

Here is one about Thiel.
