Chris Wray referred to DOJ for misleading lawmakers on memo claiming traditional Catholics were domestic extremists
Wray testified before Congress in July 2023, was rescinded in February 2023 by the FBI. "Well, what I can tell you is you’re referring to the Richmond product, which is a single product by a single field office, which as soon as I found out about it, I was aghast and ordered it withdrawn and removed from FBI systems," Wray said at the time.
The House Judiciary Committee revealed after Wray's testimony that the FBI relied on offices across the country to develop its assessment of traditional Catholics as potential domestic terrorists.
"Director Wray’s testimony was inaccurate not only because it failed to reveal the scope of the memo’s production and dissemination, but also because it failed to reveal the existence of a second, draft product on the same topic intended for external distribution to the whole FBI,". "That draft product was intended for distribution as a Strategic Perspective Executive Analytic Report ('SPEAR'). It was clearly a separate product."
Upon learning of the document, FBI Headquarters quickly began taking action to remove the document from FBI systems and conduct a review of the basis for the document,......CAN YOU SAY "BURN BAG"?
