FBI Analysts Fired Over Controversial Memo
from US News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
FBI analysts behind the controversial 2023 memo labeling Catholic “violent extremists” are being fired—despite no evidence of wrongdoing found in prior reviews. Their lawyer calls it unjust, arguing these professionals served the country honorably. The memo sparked national debate, with Republicans accusing the FBI of targeting conservatives, while officials denied bias. Now, under Director Kash Patel’s sweeping personnel shake-up, analysts linked to past Trump investigations or seen as misaligned are being let go—echoing similar firings in the classified documents probe. The memo’s original intent was to connect Radical Traditionalist Catholic beliefs with racially motivated extremism, but internal reviews found it violated FBI standards by implying religious profiling.
