Senator Grassley Unveils FBI Anti-Catholic Memo Cover-Up

Senator Chuck Grassley has exposed significant issues within the FBI under President Joe Biden, focusing on a controversial memo from the Richmond, Virginia field office that labeled "radical-traditionalist Catholics" as potential violent extremists based on information from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a group widely criticized for bias and mislabeling. Contrary to former FBI Director Christopher Wray’s claims that this memo was an isolated incident, new evidence reveals it was widely disseminated to over 1,000 FBI employees and was accompanied by at least 13 additional related documents and five attachments perpetuating anti-Catholic bias. Grassley accuses the FBI leadership of a cover-up, misleading Congress, and obstructing oversight efforts, demanding greater transparency and accountability from the current FBI Director Kash Patel. The controversy highlights concerns about the politicization and weaponization of the FBI against conservative and religious groups during the Biden administration. This widespread distribution and internal acknowledgment of reliance on a discredited source for designating hate groups underscore a troubling disregard for fair and unbiased law enforcement. Grassley is actively pursuing further investigation to restore trust and ensure the FBI administers justice impartially, regardless of political or religious affiliations.
