Press ReleaseWASHINGTON, D.C. – New documents obtained by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government reveal that the federal government flagged terms like "MAGA" and "TRUMP" for financial institutions if Americans used those phrases when completing transactions. Individuals who shopped at stores like Cabela's or Dick's Sporting Goods, or purchased religious texts like a bible, may also have had their transactions flagged. This kind of pervasive financial surveillance, carried out in coordination with and at the request of federal law enforcement, into Americans' private transactions is alarming and raises serious concerns about the FBI's respect for fundamental civil liberties.

In light of these revelations, Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) has requested transcribed interviews from Peter Sullivan, Senior Private Sector Partner for Outreach in the Strategic Partner Engagement Section of the FBI, and Noah Bishoff, former Director of the Office of Stakeholder Integration and Engagement in the Strategic Operations Division of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

The Banana Republic of America has arrived.

Nothing says "democracy" like the Federal Government targeting their political opposition.
 
I'm sure that people like @maineman  approve of **** like this 100% too.

Indeed it has...albeit I am a bit confounded...where would one have to bank that they would actually know you were a MAGA, Trump, or etc supporter?

If someone bought a MAGA hat or Trump shirt online and paid with a debit/credit card, it would be flagged and sent to the Feds.

I'm sure that campaign donations were monitored and catalogued by Garland's Gestapo as well... yet these people say Trump is the fascist.

Go figure huh?
