Watchdog: Targeting of Catholics Wider Than FBI Claimed

From Newsmax:

Heavily redacted documents released by the FBI showed that the agency’s controversial targeting of Roman Catholics was more widespread than a single incident in one field office, watchdog Judicial Watch reported Friday. 

Judicial Watch reported that the 98 pages it obtained through a Freedom of Information lawsuit showed that the FBI memo from earlier this year that tagged some Catholics as violent extremists due to their religious beliefs was reviewed by the agency’s Office of General Counsel. Coordination also took place with Portland and Milwaukee officials. 

Hardly a “single product but a single field office,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said Friday. 

“These documents disprove the FBI’s narrative that the spy operation against Catholics and churches was limited to one field office.
