New DOJ report alleges FBI 'took minimal corrective action' after 'radical traditionalist' memo
The report says FBI staff were largely admonished and retrained after the memo was retracted, while later reviews found no evidence of religious bias.
- On August 28, the Department of Justice's Weaponization Working Group released a report confirming that FBI personnel responsible for the 2023 'Richmond Memo' have been terminated from their roles.
- The controversial 2023 document labeled 'radical traditionalist' Catholics as potential threats, proposing 'tripwires' at churches and treating the Traditional Latin Mass as a marker of potential radicalization.
- Agents expanded investigations to affiliated priests after a single criminal suspect attended a chapel, yet internal reviews found no evidence linking Catholic ideology to domestic extremism.
- While internal reviews previously found employees lacked professional judgment, consequences were initially minimal with some receiving 'Exemplary' performance ratings; the Trump administration says those responsible have now been fired.
- Attorney General Todd Blanche stated the department will not tolerate a 'weaponized bureaucracy' that chills First Amendment activity, emphasizing that protecting Americans' constitutional rights remains the FBI's solemn responsibility.
