The FBI agents who drafted a memo proposing targeting “radical-traditionalist Catholic” ideology admitted to relying on politically biased sources of information when drafting the memo, according to a new House report.
For months, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee and its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government have been investigating a memo drafted within the FBI’s Richmond Field Office that proposed new efforts to monitor radical-traditionalist Catholic (RTC) ideologues as an avenue to racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism. In a new report on Monday, the House committee asserted there “was no legitimate basis for the memorandum” and detailed several alleged mistakes made in the process of drafting the memo.
