JUST IN: Document Reveals FBI’s Targeting Of Catholics Was Much Worse Than Previously Known
By ChrisAugust 9, 2023

A document obtained by the House Judiciary Committee has shed new light on the FBI’s surveillance efforts that specifically targeted traditional Catholics as potential domestic terrorists. The findings in the document, obtained through a subpoena, run contrary to FBI Director Christopher Wray’s previous testimony which suggested that the surveillance was limited to the efforts of a single field office.

The subpoenaed document disclosed that the FBI Richmond Field Office had coordinated with various field offices nationwide to develop a memo indicating traditional Catholics as potential security threats. Earlier claims, notably by Director Wray on July 12, 2023, before the Committee, stated that the extent of the efforts was limited to just one field office.

However, the newly disclosed document contradicts this, showing that both the FBI Portland and FBI Los Angeles field offices had a hand in, or at least contributed to, this assessment.

Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA), the Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, issued a letter to Director Wray pointing out these discrepancies and demanding clarification.

Not just pro life. The Catholic Church does not perform same sex marriages nor acknowledge them.

Someone needs jailtime for this. Or we need new laws.

As unsettling as it is, you must at least try to understand how close this nation is to a complete totalitarian takeover of our government, judiciary and institutions.  The persecution of Donald Trump and his supporters is the ultimate push by the fascists among us to rip this nation from the anchors of its founding.  Please, stop rooting for their success.

And what has Trump and his supporters done to DeSantis? Two wrongs don't make a right. Trump did zero to rein in the DOJ in his four years. ZERO. Time to let someone else try that has a much better understanding of the constitution and how to organize and actual cleaning of the swamp.

I'm fully in favor of living by Reagan's eleventh commandment but that does not change a thing WRT the part I quoted @DB THAT is the absolute truth!

Trump was accused of weaponizing the DOJ for his own gain.

He's been accused of all sorts of things, many of which have no basis in reality. So what. The fact is, the left grew substantially in strength during his term. The corruption in the DOJ/FBI only deepened over that period. Millions of destroyed lives due to shutdowns and school closures - all on his watch.

So?  That doesn't address the point that was made, which was that Trump didn't do anything to rein in the DOJ during his term as president.

[bigheadfred]

Give me some of examples of how Trump didn't do anything to rein in the DOJ.

If you want to blame Trump re lockdowns , school closures, ruined lives you need to take a very hard look at the actions of each state.

Tell me one thing he has been accused of that the Democrats have not been actively doing when they accused him of it. That's how the Democrats roll, it is how you know what they are doing, by what they accuse others of as a preemptive strike.

He selected attorney generals that were either incompetent or swamp creatures. That's where it starts. Sessions was all for asset forfeitures which are grossly unconstitutional and he laid low only working on his pet projects without making any waves completely ignoring the extreme corruption in the DOJ that he headed. As far as Barr goes, well that speaks for itself.

I don't believe the corruption deepened during Trump's term in office. I think it just became more public. I believe the Republic has been destroyed and now it's a matter of fighting the growing police state. As bad as the Rats are in destroying the Republic the Pubs share equal blame for not even putting up a serious fight.

As far as your second point goes about the lockdowns under Trump, I think this is where DeSantis really dropped the ball. DeSantis's response to the "pandemic" was clearly superior to Trump's. DeSantis should have made this the central focus of his campaign instead of embracing the advise of "moderate" campaign advisers and donors.
