The Biden Administration has admitted to surveilling the private financial transactions of Americans for words including 'MAGA', 'Trump' and 'Kamala' following the January 6 riots.
Federal investigators in the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) instructed banks to comb through records to look for 'extremists'.
A letter from the Treasury Department, seen by Fox News, was sent to Senator Tim Scott on Friday which states 'Exchange events' began 'shortly after January 6 under the prior Administration'.
It said it 'included terms such as "antifa," "MAGA," "Trump," "Biden," "Kamala," "Schumer," and "Pelosi."'
The federal government was specifically 'watching' Trump supporters and Americans who frequent outdoor stores such as Cabela's, Dick's Sporting Goods and Bass Pro Shops, and also those who purchased religious texts, such as a Bible.
The Treasury Department letter signifies the first time the Biden Administration has confirmed the use of keywords being searched for by investigators over the January 6 riot.
It was signed by Acting Assistant Secretary Corey Tellez and was in response to a letter sent by Scott, who is on the Senate Banking Committee, to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen demanding answers.
Scott claimed the surveillance 'represents a flagrant violation of Americans’ privacy and the improper targeting of U.S. citizens for exercising their constitutional rights without due process.'
The Republican politician had previously voted for the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020, which allowed the FinCEN Exchange program to share data between law enforcement and financial institutions in a bid to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing.
FinCEN handed materials to banks which suggested they search and filter private finance records using keywords and search terms.
This was to help law enforcement find people of interest ahead of Biden's January 20 2021 inauguration and after the January 6 riots.

And Mitch McConnell says not a word of criticism but he sure is fast to shovel $ 60 billion in taxpayer $ to Ukraine.

The Swamp is an organized crime outfit and Mitch is one of the most senior members.
The Swamp keeps its hold on its members by blackmail (and the threat of death). If Mitch spoke out of turn about anything related to the Swamp, his career would be over immediately and it is quite possible that his life and the lives of his family would come to an abrupt end.
Meanwhile, wanna bet the UK is doing the same thing...?
Betcha.
Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen ducks questions by Republicans demanding to know why feds asked banks to scour customer transactions for ‘Trump’ or ‘MAGA’
Trump’s next rally everyone should bring a Bible to wave at the cameras! Or maybe better, show up at a Biden rally and wave them at him.
There isn’t enough room in Joe’s basement.
Yes the Brits call anyone who believes in the Almighty a ‘religious nutter’. Excellent.
Who would have thunk that the caramel fake vp would have been on their colored list??

Jail time for all who participated, and those who ordered it.
Pretty sure I’ve used most of these terms...but in case I missed one:
“antifa,”
“MAGA,”
“Trump,”
“Biden,”
“Kamala,”
“Schumer,”
“Pelosi.”
“Bible”
Maybe you’d be better off if you stole the Bible... 😁
If people buying bibles is “a threat to their democracy”, then “their democracy” needs to fail. The sooner the better.

I would also suggest bringing a rosary and waving that at Biden, but it’s most likely blasphemous.
American Stasi! The DemoRAT Party
We need to replace Republican leaders (or are they followers?) with Americans. We need to start at the local level and remove RINOs and Elites. I’d rather have a farmer as the head of a local Republican party, than an attorney. Trump needs to dismantle the RNC.

Just buy a Bible already.
Better yet, put it in your carry-on the next time you fly and give TSA a chance to grope you.
