House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan is demanding answers from FBI Director Christopher Wray after a leaked memo revealed the FBI was treating Catholics as violent extremists.
University of Chicago student and The Chicago Thinker managing editor Evita Duffy discusses the FBI’s internal memo warning against ‘radical traditionalist Catholic ideology.
Since then, Jordan said new information has become public about the FBI’s"targeting of a set of Catholic Americans for their religious beliefs" — specifically referencing the Jan. 23 memo, which was leaked by a whistleblower earlier this month. Jordan said the memo not only attempts to"separate and categorize Catholic Americans based on theological distinctions," but said the FBI"underscored the political nature of its actions."
"The fact that the FBI would blindly accept and regurgitate the SPLC’s spin is highly concerning and undercuts the FBI’s assertion that it is unbiased and politically neutral," Jordan wrote. The FBI added that the bureau"is committed to sound analytic tradecraft and to investigating and preventing acts of violence and other crimes while upholding the constitutional rights of all Americans and will never conduct investigative activities or open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity."
