We missed this report drop, but Wauck covers it.
He starts with a question:
...What measures will the GOPers—who now control all branches of government—take to reverse this?...
Don't make me laugh, Wauck.
Then he quotes the Daily Mail about the reports from Congress. (We are *shocked*, *shocked*, I say, to note that the US "press" has not mentioned this.)
... The Biden administration has gotten banks to let them 'spy' on the everyday purchases and money transfers of Americans, carrying out millions of searches without getting a warrant typically required for such snooping, a stunning new Congressional report charges.
The House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government just released its damning findings, which the panel found skews heavily toward surveillance of Americans inclined to support President-elect Donald Trump....
No s**t, Sherlock!?
...Over 14,000 federal employees accessed that sensitive financial data in 2023 during which the subcommittee claims 3.3 million 'warrantless searches' were made.
...
The Biden administration worked with banks to comb through 'extremism' indicators like the purchase of a religious text, like a Bible, or searches including the terms 'MAGA' and 'TRUMP,' according to shocking revelations by the committee....
Then they checked with sporting-goods stores (guns and ammo), cross-referencing.
Which banks co-operated in spying on their customers?
...Bank of America, Chase, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Citi Bank and Trust were all investigated in the probe looking to expose how the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the FBI worked together.
Charles Schwab, HSBC, MUFG, PayPal, Santander, Standard Chartered and Western Union were all also investigated....
Now you know. Gonna do something about it?
I wonder how would one go about finding out if they were a targeted customer.
