FBI Director Suspected Of ‘Inconsistencies’ In Anti-Catholic Memo Testimony

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified last month that only “a single field office” from the bureau investigated traditional Catholics as potential domestic terrorists, but the top official may have lied under oath after House GOP lawmakers discovered multiple field offices nationwide were involved in producing the anti-Catholic memo.

On July 12, Wray told the House Judiciary Committee that — after a document reliant on ideologically driven criteria from left-wing sources like the Southern Poverty Law Center explicitly pointed toward “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists in radical-traditionalist Catholic ideology” leaked from the FBI Richmond Field Office — he immediately had the memo purged from the bureau’s system.

But two weeks after Wray gave congressional testimony, lawmakers subpoenaed the FBI to produce the Richmond document with fewer redactions, which showed the agency allegedly coordinated with a liaison contact in the FBI’s Portland Field Office and reporting from the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.
