They won't stop at Catholics...

Senator Hawley condemns FBI’s Director Wray on his agency attacking American Catholics

Senator Hawley:

So there’s 60 million American Catholics who now learn that your FBI has recommended that priests be recruiters / informants.
Your FBI has gone to priests, CHOIR DIRECTORS…..but we're to feel better because you've admonished them for their wrongdoing.

Dir. Wray:

You again, are conflating two different things. We are…

Senator Hawley:

No I’m not. I’m quoting your testimony where you said. You DO NOT…
You said CATEGORICALLY……. Categorically, you said “We DO NOT.”
“We do NOT go to priests and ask them about their parishioners.”
You said “We do not. “
You didn't say “We haven't…”
You didn't say “We won't…”
You said “WE DON’T”
As it turns out, YOU DO and you kept it from the public.
You deliberately misled Congress about it, and the only reason we know about it is because a whistleblower came forward. That’s the truth

Dir. Wray:

I just fundamentally disagree with your characterization.

Senator Hawley

There's no characterization - the facts are the facts.
And I “fundamentally” resent the fact that you have violated, if not the spirit, if not the letter, certainly the spirit of the 1st Amendment and used your law enforcement agency against Catholics in this nation.

This is scary.
God bless that whistle blower.
