Would Attorney General Merrick Garland lie to Republicans on congressional committees? That would be shocking, right? Not really, and Republican Sen. Josh Hawley spotted another reason to believe the answer to that question is “yes”:
I specifically asked Merrick Garland whether the FBI was targeting Catholic parishes and he said no. Now it turns out the FBI was using undercover sources in multiple parishes https://t.co/NZMkIXEN47

This administration just keeps getting more Orwellian by the day:
BREAKING: FBI sought to develop sources in Catholic churches to combat domestic terrorism, docs show https://t.co/Vy4FPupv9Y

Out: Undercover sources at school board meetings.
In: Undercover sources in Catholic churches:
The FBI recently sought to develop sources inside Christian churches and Catholic dioceses as part of an effort to combat domestic terrorism, according to internal documents released by House Judiciary Committee on Monday.
The internal documents — obtained last month by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., who are also members of the so-called Weaponization Subcommittee — showed the FBI planned to use churches as “new avenues for tripwire and source development.” The federal law enforcement agency also aimed to specifically target “mainline Catholic parishes” as part of its efforts.

The Weaponization Committee tweeted this earlier today:

Nothing to see here!
Everything we’ve learned about the FBI since the Trump era paints a very damning picture of a supposed law enforcement organization that has lost its way.
Now, we’re learning their evil is far more widespread than we realized. https://t.co/OLl7H5RrQs

No kidding. And that makes it 100 percent pure projection when they try to paint Republicans as “totalitarian wannabes.”
Do.
