Senator Hawley questioned FBI Director Wray today over the anti-Catholic memo that the FBI was using as the basis for an investigation into certain Catholic churches.
If you recall, they wanted to put informants inside traditional Catholic parishes over white supremacism concerns.
Hawley wanted to know from Wray what was done about his and if anyone was fired:

Hawley was a bit hostile going after a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on whether Wray fired anyone. But when he finally let him answer, we learn the FBI did nothing to punish the people involved in the memo. Wray say the people involved in writing the memo were found to have done nothing in bad faith and even said one of agents was Catholic.
How does a memo get written like this without bad faith being involved? Wray himself said he was ‘aghast’ when he read it. Yet everything was hunky-dory about it? That doesn’t make any sense.
Geez. Who appointed this guy FBI director anyway??
