Anti-Catholic FBI memo's origin revealed as bureau absolved of 'malicious intent'

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been exonerated by a Department of Justice review that found investigators did not intend to target traditional Catholics as potential "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists."

The Justice Department Inspector General review noted, however, that analysts "incorrectly conflated" an investigative subject's religious views with his alleged domestic terrorism activities.

Findings from the 120-day review, which was handled by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz and ordered by Congress, were outlined in a letter sent to members of Congress on Thursday.

An FBI Richmond, Virginia, 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 2023 and drew instant criticism from Republicans, who demanded immediate answers from the agency.

According to the inspector general's report, the memo, which has been dubbed the "Richmond Product," was circulated amid an investigation of a potentially violent individual who was identified in the report as "Defendant A" and has since been arrested..............

<sarc> What a relief.  We have no need to be concerned about
the FBI conducting a witch hunt to purge America of religious "extremists."

Except for the repeated, ongoing statements by "President" Biden and his surrogates
about "right wing extremism" being America's number one security risk.

Never mind the numerous rioters in places like Portland Oregon
that the "Democratic" Party's financial backers are funding
(providing transportation and lodging.)
They're not a "security risk."

And never mind the thugs who keep on committing
numerous, repeated robberies, beatings, etc.
that the Democrat prosecutors keep putting back on the street
after being arrested MANY times!

And never mind the gang bangers, who commit 80% of the murders in America.
They're just an "oppressed minority."

We need to beware of the over 100 million peaceful conservatives
who The Regime claims are guilty by association
with the tiny number of actual "right wing extremists" (skinheads, etc.)
(with whom conservatives have no association)
who commit only 0.25% of the murders in America anyway. </sarc>
