Kash Patel FBI Director
- Thread starter B00Mer
- Start date
Several FBI analysts tied to the creation of a 2023 memo warning of a potential threat from Catholic “violent extremists” were fired on Friday, according to their lawyer, the latest wave of terminations under the leadership of its director Kash Patel, from the Richmond field office.
This stems from a controversial 2023 internal memo that warned of potential threats from "radical traditionalist Catholic" extremists. While an internal review previously found failures in analytic tradecraft but no malicious intent, conservatives characterized it as anti-Catholic and a politically motivated targeting of conservative groups.
The fired employees included four intelligence analysts and a supervisory analyst. The FBI declined to comment.
The firings are part of a broader personnel purge under Patel, a loyalist of Donald Trump who has pushed out dozens of employees who either contributed to investigations of the president or who were perceived as not in alignment with the administration’s agenda. The justice department has engaged in similarly sweeping firings of prosecutors since Trump’s second presidency began in early 2025.

In February, for instance, the FBI fired a group of counterintelligence agents who participated in the investigation into Trump over his retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, after his first presidency.
The January 2023 intelligence product produced by analysts in the FBI’s Richmond, Virginia, field office emerged as a political flashpoint after it was issued, with Republicans in Congress repeatedly citing it as part of their broader contention that the FBI during the Biden administration was targeting conservatives.
