In a breaking story from Fox News, it was revealed that federal investigators asked banks for private customer transactions using “MAGA” and “Trump” for their investigation on January 6th.
Documents also showed that purchases from Dick’s Sporting Goods, Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops, and more were also searched by federal investigators.
Many of these banks handed over information without the proper procedures.

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan said the documents obtained by the committee indicate that after Jan. 6, 2021, the Treasury Department’s Office of Stakeholder Integration and Engagement in the Strategic Operations of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, distributed materials to financial institutions that outlined “typologies” of “various persons of interest” and provided the banks with “suggested search terms and Merchant Category Codes for identifying transactions on behalf of federal law enforcement.”
The materials included a document recommending the use of generic terms like “Trump” and “MAGA” to “search Zelle payment messages” as well as a “prior FinCEN analysis” of “Lone Actor/Homegrown Violent Extremism Indicators.”
“According to this analysis, FinCEN warned financial institutions of ‘extremism’ indicators that include ‘transportation charges, such as bus tickets, rental cars, or plane tickets, for travel areas with no apparent purpose,’ or ‘the purchase of books (including religious texts) and subscriptions to other media containing extremist views,’” Jordan detailed in a letter to the former director of FinCEN, Noah Bishoff, a career employee.
“In other words, FinCEN used large financial institutions to comb through the private transactions of their customers for suspicious charges on the basis of protected political and religious expression,” Jordan wrote.
Jordan and the committee are requesting Bishoff appear for a transcribed interview on the matter, saying he may “possess information necessary for our oversight.”
This is a massive breach of privacy and shows the extent to which our government will go to prosecute innocent people.
JUST WOW. This is profiling on another level.
While Feds are combing through your bank statements looking for anything MAGA or TRUMP, now it’s suspect to go to sporting good stores – but only the “redneckest” ones 🙄 if you buy your fishing lures at Walmart, you’re no threat https://t.co/vvs8Fb6O7t

…apparently, if you shopped at Bass Pro, Cabellas or Dick’s Sporting Goods your name is on the list…BOA is the most compliant bank…

If you need more proof.
Just Sunday, NBC reported that there was a group of people who were preparing to remove President Trump from office if he wins the 2024 election.
