DOJ Report Finds FBI Defied Order To Kill Richmond Memo
Documents from the Weaponization Working Group show agents tracking two priests' travel and communications months after superiors ordered the memo shelved.
- The 2023 memo linked 'radical-traditionalist Catholic' ideology to violent extremism risk.
- Agents monitored two priests' travel and personal communications, the report confirms.
- Richmond staff kept revising the memo after headquarters ordered it purged from FBI systems.
Why it matters: An agency that keeps working after being told to stop answers to no one but itself.
