On Tuesday, the FBI handed over requested documents on its efforts to target Catholic Americans after another threat from Congress to hold director Christopher Wray in contempt.
As reported by the New York Post, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, had subpoenaed the files in question and threatened to hold Wray in contempt of Congress if the documents were not delivered by the deadline of July 25th.
The documents that are now in the possession of the Judiciary Committee also deal with the FBI’s plans to crack down on the grassroots protest movement led by conservative voters and parents to hold public school boards accountable for far-left propaganda being included in their curriculum, among other grievances. The movement started in 2021 and became a nationwide phenomenon that has seen numerous conservative victories, from the flipping of many school boards to a Republican wave in Virginia in 2021.
More recently, the FBI had outlined plans in a since-retracted memo for infiltrating Catholic churches, as the bureau had come to see “radical-traditionalist Catholics” and pro-life Catholics as possible domestic terrorist threats.
Acting Assistant Director of the FBI Christopher Dunham, in a letter attached to the documents, pleaded with Jordan to not release the files publicly.
“The production of this information to the Committee does not waive any applicable privileges or other protections,” said Dunham in his letter. “We respectfully request that the Committee not disseminate or otherwise disclose these documents without prior consultation with the FBI.”
The FBI had previously faced another contempt-of-Congress threat after Director Wray initially refused to hand over an FD-1023 form, filed by a confidential informant, alleging that Joe and Hunter Biden had each been paid $5 million in bribes by the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings during the Obama Administration. Only after the House Oversight Committee threatened to hold Wray in contempt did he give them access to the document, which has since been released by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
I wonder how many other groups are being targeted. Maybe the VFW?
How about targeting Christians, conservatives, republicans, gun owners, Patriots?? Nothing on them I presume.
The Gestapo wants a special privilege. To hell with them. Publish the piece.
Any groups that are against mutilating children and/or put the interest of the USA and it’s citizens first are the enemy of Biden and his Goon Squad.
The content these freaks have for the people who pay their salaries and pensions is something I haven’t seen in my life.
BSA national used to publish troop financial software for the troop to maintain individual scout funds. This process was demand now illegal.
If an adult or scout over 18 raised ANY money and received 1 penny, this was now 100 % illegal.
This was when I quit, for I saw thousands of dollars individual scouts had raised now belonging to the troop and could Not go towards the individual scouts expenses.
Screw that. You don't get to make demands. What you get to be is defunded. A bunch of these creeps who ordered the spying should be in jail.
And how many other rogue operations in the government are targeting Americans.
I bet it is a lot worse in DOD than we know.
Considering it’s the Biden Administration, probably the Girl Scouts..............
“We respectfully request that the Committee not disseminate “
BS. They should notify everyone who’s constitutional rights were violated so they can sue.
We respectfully request..........
No......................
depends on your social credit score
The fbi wanted to find a kook and convince them to shoot up an abortion clinic so they can blame “far right religious nuts” . At least that’s my guess considering how much the fbi loves stopping crimes they created
Does anybody actually believe the FBI turned over ALL the materials?
The hate filled entities, (a) Biden, and (b) the FBI, had outlined plans (in a since-retracted memo)
for infiltrating Catholic churches, and spying on its members.
They strove to make “traditional Catholics” into “radicals”.......
and portray pro-life Catholics as possible domestic terrorist threats.
Anything they turned over was probably fabricated. They had to urge congress not to release it to make it look real.
How many of these documents are totally redacted? Yesterday when Mayorkas was being grilled about the documents he’s turned over, these documents were held up showing that all the pages were redacted with only the title of the document left intact.
GOP smoke & mirrors, as their perpetual circle jerk continues unabated...
We can expect the usual ZERO substantial outcomes as a result of having lots of documents...
Thousands of documents related to thousands of violations of the former Constitution already in their hands and not a single significant consequence for the evil-doers...
GOP ==> Gutless Obsequious Pussies...
