FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is under fire after retweeting a video of FBI official Stanley Meador, a man still employed by the bureau despite being at the center of a scandal involving the profiling of traditionalist Catholics as potential domestic extremists and potential white supremacist recruits.
Stanley Meador is the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, who oversaw the creation of a controversial internal FBI memorandum that labeled certain “radical-traditionalist Catholics” as potential domestic terrorism threats.
The video, originally posted by the FBI’s Richmond Field Office, shows Meador addressing the “764” group, a violent online network known for coercing children into self-harm, suicide, and animal cruelty, often using cybercriminal tactics like doxxing and fake Telegram chats to target vulnerable minors, as noted in a 2024 CyberScoop report.
Dan Bongino’s official X account shared this video via retweet.
WATCH at link
You spoke- we listened. Based on your comments to our last video about gore groups, we knew we needed to give you more information about this threat to your children. Watch this and share it with someone who needs to know. This might be hard to listen to, but it’s important. pic.twitter.com/cKzZ1669RA

“This is Stanley Meador. He was responsible for the FBI’s Richmond office when they approved an intel product suggesting that Traditional Latin Mass Catholics were likely recruits for White Supremacy,” former FBI agent turned whistleblower Kyle Seraphin wrote on X.
“Seeing [Bongino] promote him is a slap in the face. Cutesy Time Continues,” he added.
In February 2023, the Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government launched its investigation after whistleblower Kyle Seraphin exposed the Richmond memorandum within the FBI’s internal systems.
The leaked memo suggested that, to infiltrate Catholic parishes, FBI agents could use clergy and parish staff as “tripwires” and monitor online communities associated with the Traditional Latin Mass.
It relied on sources like the Southern Poverty Law Center, Salon, and The Atlantic, and included input from other FBI field offices, including Portland and Los Angeles.
The House Judiciary Committee’s December 2023 report revealed that the FBI had interviewed a priest and a choir director in Richmond as part of the memo’s development.
FBI Director Christopher Wray has called the memo “appalling” and stated that it was retracted promptly upon discovery.
According to the Washington Examiner, Meador testified before Congress in August 2023 for several hours in a behind-closed-doors interview, acknowledging his role in retracting the memo and meeting with Catholic leaders to address the fallout.

This revelation comes after FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly appointed Steven Jensen to lead the coveted FBI Washington Field Office.
According to the New York Times, Jensen “played a key role in responding to the attack on the Capitol” on January 6th.
SMOKING OUT THE MOLES????
Meador’s video is spot on and Bongino had every reason to retweet it.
Patel 11/14/24:
“I’d shut down the Hoover FBI Building on day one and reopen it as a Deep State Museum.”
Patel today:
“95% of FBI are honorable, trustworthy and loyal to their oath.”
He’s garbage and should be fired.
Bongino certainly looks that way.
I don’t get it. Bongino is under fire for exposing an FBI agent who targets Catholics a potential domestic terrorist. Should that agent be under fire.
He’s probably not going to get a radio gig when finished at FBI.
the text is damn confusing. If I read it correctly you are right Dan should be commended for exposing this scumbag. Meador should have been fired an hour after Patel was seated. It begins to look like we have Wray 2.0. The rats didn’t fight Patel nearly as hard as I expected. I think I know why now.
