Obviously, it is outrageous that intelligence analysts at an FBI field office in Richmond, Va., proposed investigating Catholics, under the demeaning label of “Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology.” It would be all the more egregious if it turned out that the FBI had used one or more undercover operatives to infiltrate Catholic congregations in the Richmond area, as House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) alleges in a letter to FBI director Chris Wray.
That said, I am having trouble following Jordan’s letter, which is embedded in a report by our Ari Blaff, and is accompanied by a subpoena demanding that Wray testify before the committee. Specifically, what is Jordan’s evidence, which he says comes from the FBI itself, that the bureau has infiltrated at least one Catholic community with an undercover agent?
