Extent of FBI’s Targeting of ‘Radical Traditionalist Catholics’ Greater than Biden Officials Claimed, GOP Senator Reveals
NY Post ^ | 6/4/25 | Victor Nava

Documents released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Tuesday appear to contradict former FBI Director Christopher Wray’s claim that a controversial 2023 memo targeting “radical traditionalist Catholics” was a one-off and the work of a single bureau field office.

Extent of FBI’s targeting of ‘radical traditionalist Catholics’ greater than Biden officials claimed, GOP senator reveals

The Biden-era FBI chief told House lawmakers in July of 2023 that the memo – which described the purported overlaps between Catholics who oppose abortion rights and would-be terrorists as an opportunity for “threat mitigation” and “source development” – was “a single product by a single field office.”

However, the new FBI files obtained by Grassley show the bureau produced “at least 13 additional documents and five attachments that used anti-Catholic terminology,” as well as a second memo updating the FBI’s Richmond Field Office’s case against “radical” Catholics.

So "radical traditionalist Catholics" is newspeak for Catholics who consider abortion to be a sin?

And woke sickos consider Catholics to be "hotbeds of domestic extremism"?

The FBI is much worse than most here can even imagine.

The memo that I included in this thread is raw evil.

It is grounds to abolish the entire FBI.

Glanced through the document. Just when you think you couldn’t be any more disgusted by government something like this comes to attention.

COINTELPRO is alive and well.

It is the American Gestapo.

OK, Grassley, drag him back in front of the Senate with a subpeona and refer him to the DOJ for charges of lying to Congress.

One thousand FBI agents saw the document.

Only one blew the whistle on it.

Hannity had it exactly backwards. He said that 99.9% of FBI agents were good people.

It turns out the correct number is 0.1%.

Patel is obviously deep state along with Blondi. They are going out of their way to protect these evil pieces of commie garbage. Their “bombshell” announcements about doing eff all are fooling nobody. Yeah Kash let crooked cops be crooked cops.

You are correct and it drove me to anger to listen to Hannity.

EVERY organization from the family to corporations to government takes on the characteristics and values of their leaders.

We’ve read since the Obama years of how FBI, CIA applicants were screened to remove the undesirables, meaning conservative patriots.
