    Anti-Catholic Bigotry at the FBI.

    'Anti-Catholic bigotry is festering in the FBI, and the Bureau is treating Catholics as potential terrorists because of their beliefs.” This startling charge was leveled by 20 state attorneys general in a letter to Attorney General' Dirtbag 'Merrick Garland and' Corrupt 'FBI Director Christopher Wray, after a memo from the FBI’s Richmond field office came to light.'

    [​IMG]
    The FBI views conservative Catholics, but not violent elements of BLM, as the potential terrorists.

    'The memo was withdrawn amid a storm of criticism, but it warned of extremists being drawn into “radical-traditionalist” Roman Catholic organizations known primarily for their love of the Latin Mass.'

    This Rogue Federal Police force has clearly slipped the leash. Congress needs to make sure that where lawless elements, ideological outliers and political partisans operating inside the bureau, outside of the law and the cannons of fundamental justice, that those that supervise them have all the tools necessary to fire them, and where appropriate, charge them with crimes. They are doing immense damage.

    'The erosion of trust in the FBI is at a crisis level.'

    Majority see FBI as Biden’s ‘personal Gestapo’ after recent raid of Classified Corrupt Joe's political opponent.

    This poll question pulls no punches: 53% of likely voters agreed that “there is a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI that are using the FBI as Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo.”

    The other Gestapo didn’t like Catholics either.

    Please discuss how important is to stop the lawless elements of the FBI from criminalizing political disagreement.

    AMERICAN STASI: Okay, So It Looks as if the Justice Department Probably Has Spies in Catholic Churches.

    'In a heated exchange with Gestapo chief Merrick Garland at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) directly challenged Garland’s viciously corrupt and politicized “Justice” Department, and zeroed in on the once-respected agency’s targeting of traditionalist Roman Catholics. While Garland maintained, in the teeth of the available evidence, that the department is not actually targeting Catholics, he claimed not to know how many spies and informants the feds have in those hotbeds of terrorism, traditional Catholic parishes. In other words, he didn’t say they didn’t have any such spies and informants. So if you’re Catholic, be watchful: the guy in the pew behind you could be taking notes.'

    [​IMG]

    Pass 5% a month deductions from their budget until this Secret Police Bastard answers the question.

    '“The FBI field office in Richmond, VA on January 23rd, issued a memo where they advocated for and I quote ‘New avenues for trip-wire and source development against Traditionalist Catholics,…'

    'Hawley then confronted Garland directly about the feds’ Leftism: “I’ll tell you how it happened. The — this memorandum, which is supposed to be intelligence, cites extensively the Southern Poverty Law Center, which goes on to identify all of these different Catholics as being part of hate groups. Is, is this how the FBI, under your direction and leadership, is, is this how they do their intelligence work? They look, they look at Left-wing advocacy groups to target Catholics? Is this what’s going on? I mean, clearly it is. How is this happening?”'

    SPLC IS A HATE GROUP THAT PUBLISHES LISTS OF GROUPS THAT LEFTISTS ARE SUPPOSED TO HATE, AND WANNABE SECRET POLICE OF THE FBI IS USING IT TO JUSTIFY SPYING ON CATHOLIC CHURCHES

    'Hawley persisted: “Let me just ask you, as my time expires here, a very direct question. How many informants do you have in Catholic churches across America?

    Garland certainly didn't say ZERO! Instead he refused to give a number, claiming he didn't know. 'The spies and informants who may be in Catholic churches today are related to Catholic pro-life activism, which Garland’s irremediably corrupt Justice Department clearly regards as a manifestation of the “right-wing extremism” that it keeps assuring us is the biggest terror threat the nation faces today.

    TOO MANY DEMOCRATS WANT TO CRIMINALIZE POLITICAL DISAGREEMENT

    Watch: Stammering AG Merrick Garland Destroyed In Congressional Grilling
    [​IMG]
    "You used an unbelievable show of force with guns, that I'd just note liberals usually decry...You're happy to deploy them against Catholics and innocent children!"

    ASS HAT AUTHORITARIANS DISAGREED WITH A SUPREME COURT RULING SO THEY DECIDED TO WEAPONIZE THE DOJ AGAINST CATHOLICS BECAUSE THEY SUPPORTED IT.

    'Attorney General Merrick Garland was flayed alive during Wednesday testimony on Capitol Hill, where he sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee to answer questions over the Biden administration's 'weaponized' Justice Department.'

    'Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) laid into Garland for ignoring credible threats against Supreme Court justices surrounding the decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade, which granted a constitutional right to abortion.'

    They agreed with those making the threats.

    Sen. @tedcruz goes ATOMIC on Dirtbag 'Merrick Garland for IGNORING threats against SCOTUS justices: "Why are you unwilling to say no? The answer is no! You know it's no. I know it's no. Everyone in this hearing room knows it's no! You're not willing to answer a question!"'

    'Then, Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) grilled Dirtbag 'Garland over the FBI's raid of pro-life advocate Matt Houck, whose house they entered with guns drawn in front of his children, before arresting Houck for allegedly shoving an abortion clinic worker - a charge he was acquitted of. Houck now plans to sue the FBI.'

    The FBI is a rogue, rights violating, out of control, armed, federal agency.

    WHISTLEBLOWER: FBI’s D.C. Office Tried To Sic Local Agents On Innocents After Bank Of America Volunteered Gun Records. “Bank of America, with no directive from the FBI, datamined its customer base.”

    THE BOSTON FBI OFFICE TOLD THE DC OFFICE TO STUFF IT.

    'The Boston field office refused to open an investigation on the individuals flagged on the list because there was “no predication.” “There’s no crime that was committed by using a Bank of America product in the District or around the District,” Hill testified, explaining his supervisor’s reasoning for why no “further action” was required.'

    Without substantial evidence of a crime, the responsible Boston FBI office refused to investigate a law abiding citizen.

    THE DIRTBAG DC FIELD OFFICE PUSHED BACK:

    'But the D.C. field office pushed back. The D.C. field office told Boston’s supervisory special agent, or SSA, he needed to open up the cases. When the local office’s SSA refused, the D.C. field office threatened to call the assistant special agent in charge, or ASAC, of the local office. The SSA stood firm in his refusal, as did the local ASAC, Hill said, even though the D.C. field office then threatened the ASAC that it would escalate the matter to the office’s special agent in charge, or SAC.'

    'The D.C. field office then pushed the office’s SAC to open investigations into the targeted Americans. But to the SAC’s credit, he refused, the Boston SAC countered, “No, we’re not going to open up cases based on credit card or debit card activity that took place.”'

    What we don't know is if the lawless thugs of the DC FBI opened their own investigations after the Boston office refused, or, how many of the other 54 FBI field offices agreed to conduct criminal cases based on nothing more than lawful use of a BofA credit or debit card, for lawful activities.

    It looks like Congressional investigators need to demand answers from the DC field office, the other 54 field offices and Bank of America to determine 'the extent of the FBI’s political targeting of innocent Americans.'

    OF COURSE THEY WERE: FBI Whistleblowers: Threat Tags Were Used to Target Conservatives.

    “In the latest stunning testimony from whistleblowers at the FBI, it has been alleged that the bureau actively used intelligence threat tags to label multiple groups of conservative activists as potential domestic terror threats. According to Just The News, one such whistleblower told the House Judiciary Committee over the weekend that a terrorist threat tag originally created to target far-left activists who threatened conservative Supreme Court justices after the overturning of Roe v. Wade was ultimately flipped to the opposite purpose, and instead became a marker for pro-life activists that the FBI considered dangerous for simply protesting at abortion clinics.”

    For all his faults, Mitch McConnell did us a favor when he kept Garland off the Supreme Court. Obama thought that he could pull a fast one when he nominated the conservative looking little man with the wire rim glasses. In actuality, Garland, and Wray, are far left wing radicals who support a police state.

    The question is, how did Trump whiff on the ball when he nominated Wray?

    just cause the FBI is investigating Biden or Hunter doesn't mean the FBI is anti-Catholic

    When informants were embedded in the clan or organized crime by the FBI did that indicate that the FBI became culpable for the laws those organizations violated? This is a desperate attempt,by desperate defendents.

    The FBI can't imagine where all of this anti-Catholic bias is coming from

    [​IMG]

    'Back when an FBI memo regarding “Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology” showed up, Christopher Wray expressed what seemed to be the appropriate level of shock, along with promises to do better. At the time, he told the House Judiciary Committee that he was “aghast,” and that “we do not conduct investigations based on religious affiliation or practices, full stop.”'

    That was the claim

    But it goes deeper.

    'now Wray is going to need to explain how it was that the FBI recruited an “undercover employee” to develop “sources” among the clergy and leadership of the Catholic Church. We learned this from Jim Jordan this week and a subpoena was quickly issued to Wray to compel his “full cooperation."'

    Much much deeper

    'As part of its effort to identify extremists in the Catholic Church, the FBI recruited at least one “undercover employee” to “develop sources among the clergy and church leadership,” Representative Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) revealed Monday.'

    SPYING ON CATHOLIC CHURCHES

    'Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, issued a subpoena demanding FBI director Christopher Wray testify and provide more information to Congress about the federal agency’s intelligence-gathering initiative targeting Catholic Americans.'

    EXPLANATION DEMANDED FOR THE TARGETING OF CATHOLICS

    '“This shocking information reinforces our need for all responsive documents, and the Committee is issuing a subpoena to you to compel your full cooperation,” Jordan claimed in the letter.'

    I SHOULD THINK SO.

    'if the FBI receives specific, credible information that a church (of any type) is being used by members to plan or commit crimes, then by all means they should be able to investigate. That would apply to Catholic or Protestant churches, synagogues, or mosques.'

    'But that’s not what the FBI has been up to'. The 'rationale being put forward says that congregants at a particular set of churches are “more likely” to be brewing extremist plots based on the religion they practice. Based on that alone, the Bureau would start fishing around to see if they could come up with a crime to charge.'

    'This is simply inexcusable but it’s what prosecutors have been doing to the Trump family and business empire. ‘Show us the family or business and we’ll find you a crime if we dig around long enough.’ This is more blatant banana republic insanity. To see it happening in America is beyond alarming.'

    CUT OFF THEIR FUNDING, DISBAND THE AGENCY, LAY OFF ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES, ROLL THEIR ESSENTIAL OPERATIONS AND CRIME LAB INTO THE US MARSHALS SERVICE.

    'any suggestion of investigating activities at mosques that appeared to be funneling money to ISIS was decried as being racist, xenophobic, and every other label in the book. You weren’t supposed to make generalizations about Muslims or any other group (which is obviously true). But it would appear that at some point the script was flipped. “Radical” Catholics who preferred to attend traditional masses held in Latin are fair game.'

    FBI Used Undercover Agent to Cultivate Sources among Catholic Clergy and Leadership, House Republicans Reveal.

    [​IMG]

    'Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, issued a subpoena demanding FBI director Christopher Wray testify and provide more information to Congress about the federal agency’s intelligence-gathering initiative targeting Catholic Americans.'

    “This shocking information reinforces our need for all responsive documents, and the Committee is issuing a subpoena to you to compel your full cooperation,” Jordan claimed in the letter.

    “Americans attend church to worship and congregate for their spiritual and personal betterment,” the letter added. “They must be free to exercise their fundamental First Amendment rights without worrying that the FBI may have planted so-called ‘tripwire’ sources or other informants in their houses of worship.”

    'The weaponization committee demanded that the FBI turn over information related to its investigation of Catholics after a former FBI agent leaked a memo entitled, “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities.” Alleged “extremist” Catholic communities that prefer the Latin Mass and hold to conservative social teachings.'

    Cut the FBI's budget.

    FASCISM, STRAIGHT UP: Corrupt Bedfellows: SPLC and FBI Working Together to Frame Catholics as Terrorists.

    'The Biden regime’s staggeringly corrupt FBI has spies in Catholic Churches to hunt for “domestic terrorism,” and now it has come to light that aiding it in the dirty work of framing pro-life Catholics as dangerous “extremists” is none other than the massively discredited Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which uses its immense war chest to stigmatize and demonize legitimate groups on the Right by lumping them in with the likes of the KKK and neo-Nazis. For a wealthy and unscrupulous private organization to do that is one thing, but for the feds to endorse it and partner with that organization is quite another.'

    'the FBI “appears, at least briefly, to have joined the Southern Poverty Law Center’s attempt to demonize Roman Catholics who follow the church’s teachings on marriage and who celebrate the Latin Mass.” Such Roman Catholics are among the least likely people on the planet to endorse the Leftist establishment’s obsession with deviance and perversion, and so it’s easy to see why they have been singled out for such treatment.'

    Looking at the child molestation issue the church has I support them having federal agents in every facility these people oversee.

    In reality they need to be shuttered once it is found out they are hiding child rapists but we both know the right will claim religious persecution.

    @cd8ed of course you want federal agents at every church. Am I supposed to be surprised? What's alarming here is the weaponization of federal agencies against political opposition, and again, I understand that you are all for that, your 'Johnny 1 Note' on this is better than melatonin.

    Do you not support federal agents or at minimum police being stationed at places where children are likely to be harmed?

    WTF is a Johnny 1 note?

    Their hit job on Trump and the rigging of the 2020 election wasn't' the stopping point. More weaponization of the Federal Government against political opponents.

    POLITICAL REPRESSION: ‘Time To Worry’: IRS Targeted Biden-Critical Journalist on Two Suspicious Dates, Letter Reveals: Tax agency investigated Matt Taibbi as he was revealing government censorship on Twitter.

    'I remember over a decade ago when the IRS was targeting Tea Party activists, and even some conservative journalistic outlets didn’t believe it could be happening.'

    I support Congress passing 30 year prison terms and stripping of pensions for any federal agent that weaponizes their office against political opponents.

    He whistle blew on the 2020 election fixing:

    'The IRS targeted journalist Matt Taibbi on two occasions while he was exposing information about censorship by the government and Twitter.'

    They were characterizing him as a centrist. Right. He's as much a centrist as Biden.
