The Trump administration is continuing to expose the weaponization of the federal government under the Biden/Harris regime. The latest revelation is about the FBI’s infamous “Richmond Memo” scandal that involved spying on conservative Catholic churches.
When a whistleblower leaked the Richmond Memo to members of Congress, the FBI went into full damage control mode. Then-Director Christopher Wray repeatedly went before Congress and either lied about memo or intentionally misled our elected representatives. This was not the “nothingburger” Wray said it was. This was a serious effort to go after Catholics for their traditional views.
The memo wasn’t just a “mind exercise” or planning for hypothetical situations. The Biden FBI actually spied multiple Catholic priests. They pulled the credit card records, telephone records and flight records of Catholic priests.
One priest was subjected to a “secondary” investigation at Boston Logan International Airport. After he left the airport, FBI agents followed him and then surveilled the home he went to.
So, the same administration that let rapists, gang members and terrorists cross our borders day after day after day, ordered law enforcement personnel to spy on the “real threat to America”—Catholics.
The FBI’s Richmond Field Office claimed these Catholic priests were recruiting violent domestic extremists among so-called “radical traditionalist Catholics.”
What is a “radical traditionalist Catholic”? Someone who supports the Latin Mass, “conservative family values” and conservative views on a variety of issues, including “abortion rights, immigration, affirmative action, and LGBTQ protections.” That’s all it took for the Biden FBI to label someone an “extremist” and a threat to national security.
Unbelievably, the agents who used the power of the federal government to go after people because of their biblically-based values, were not punished. They got positive reviews on their annual performance reports, enabling them to earn more money. Thankfully, Kash Patel fired them when he took over the FBI.
This hostility to faith is deeply ingrained in the Democrat Party. Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) previously worked for the CIA and knows a thing or two about spying. She looked at this scandal and said to herself, “There’s someone I want working in my administration.” She hired the special agent in charge of the Richmond Field Office to be secretary of public safety and homeland security.
