FBI's Jihad against Catholics

Christopher bin Wray

Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog, recently released about 100 pages of FBI documents that show how the agency kind of lied about their targeting of Catholic churches.

 In a press release posted Friday by Judicial Watch it said, "FBI Director Christopher Wray had told congressmen that the memo was ‘a single product by a single field office,’ but the records uncovered by Judicial Watch show that it was "Reviewed by: OGC/CDC [Office of General Counsel/Chief Deputy Counsel].'"

Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request related to an internal FBI memo leaked earlier this year. The document sounded as if it came from the Crusades and was written by Islamic Jihad. It revealed that the FBI had efforts underway to identify and treat Catholics as "potential terrorists."

"The records also indicate coordination with officials from Portland and Milwaukee," the press release said.

The FBI Richmond internal memo, titled "Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities," was leaked in January and drew instant criticism from the GOP.

Holy crucifixes Batman!

It identified "radical-traditionalist Catholic[s]" as potential "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists" and said that "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) in radical-traditionalist Catholic (RTC) ideology almost certainly presents opportunities for threat mitigation through the exploration of new avenues for tripwire and source development."

FBI Director Christopher bin Wray and the agency have previously claimed the memo was related to only one FBI field office in Richmond, VA.

Following the memo leak, the FBI told Fox News Digital "headquarters quickly began taking action to remove the document from FBI systems and conduct a review of the basis for the document."

Conduct a review? Maybe they also have a bridge to sell.

"While our standard practice is to not comment on specific intelligence products, this particular field office product — disseminated only within the FBI — regarding racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism does not meet the exacting standards of the FBI," the statement said.

Their standard practice is to constantly cover their collective butt. 

The agency spoke to Fox News Digital earlier in the year claiming "any characterization that the FBI is targeting Catholics is false." [Adding: 'does this butt cover make me look guilty?']

However, Judicial Watch suggests these new documents show that is not the case and the issue was broader than the FBI let on.

"These documents disprove the FBI’s narrative that the spy operation against Catholics and churches was limited to one field office. In fact, the operation seems to have been approved by top lawyers in the FBI," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton wrote.

"These documents should trigger a criminal inquiry into this Biden FBI scandal."

The Judicial Watch documents show that FBI officials from various field offices discussed the FBI Crusades against the Church. In fact,  General Counsel Jason Jones in an email says, "[Assistant Director] Dunham asked that we circulate the attached draft ‘Complicated Questions’ document for the Director’s upcoming testimony for your review.

"As you will see, the draft reflects feedback received from various divisions/stakeholders to date, and certain topics continue to evolve."

Conservatives knew all along that the FBI was lying and had been targeting Catholics on a much larger scale than they claimed. Republicans earlier this year uncovered similar documents they said showed several field offices were involved in the attacks on Catholics.

Yes, your butt-cover does make you look guilty, Director Wray.
