Staff Reports
In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that the weaponized Department of Justice (DOJ) has been targeting and infiltrating Catholic churches. This troubling information was uncovered in a letter sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government Chairman Mike Johnson. The letter exposes the fact that the FBI field offices in Portland and Los Angeles were coordinating with the Richmond field office in its intrusive actions.
Oh, So It Turns Out Multiple FBI Field Offices Coordinated on Anti-Catholic Memo https://t.co/npbRzNEkQi

This revelation completely contradicts Wray’s previous testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, where he tried to downplay the issue by claiming it was limited to the Richmond field office. But now we know that this reprehensible behavior was more widespread than initially suspected. It’s clear that the FBI has been using its law enforcement capabilities to infringe upon Americans’ First Amendment rights.

We now know *multiple* FBI field offices were targeting conservative Catholics as “potential domestic terrorists.”
This directly contradicts the sworn testimony of FBI Director Wray.
What else are they hiding? https://t.co/GpXvl5niH8

The need for transparency in this matter cannot be overstated. Jordan and Johnson rightly point out that the FBI’s actions raise concerns about the bureau’s integrity and demand further oversight. It is deeply troubling that the FBI would target traditional Catholics as potential domestic terrorists. This is a blatant attack on religious liberty rights, and the American taxpayers deserve answers.
One of the most concerning aspects of this whole situation is the repeated use of redactions to hide crucial information from the public. Jordan expressed his frustration with the redactions during Wray’s testimony, and now it has become evident that the FBI deliberately tried to withhold information about the extent of their investigation. This raises serious questions about the motives and intentions of the FBI.
Wray must now be held accountable for his misleading testimony and provide answers to the questions raised by Jordan and Johnson. The American people deserve to know the truth about the FBI’s targeting of Catholic churches and its coordination with other field offices. It is time for a thorough investigation into the actions of the DOJ and the FBI to ensure that this kind of overreach does not happen again.
This latest revelation about the FBI’s actions is deeply disturbing, and it begs the question: what else are they hiding? If they are willing to target and infiltrate Catholic churches, what other groups or individuals are they unfairly targeting? This is a dire violation of our constitutional rights, and it is essential that we hold those responsible accountable for their actions. The FBI should be focused on protecting our nation from real threats, not infringing upon our fundamental liberties. It is time for a full-scale investigation into the practices of the DOJ and the FBI to restore the trust and confidence of the American people.
