A new report by the House Judiciary Committee exposed how more than 14,000 federal employees accesses the private financial data for Americans over 3,000,000 times.

The Committee and Select Subcommittee launched this investigation into government-led financial surveillance after a whistleblower disclosed that following the events of January 6, 2021, Bank of America (BoA), voluntarily and without legal process, provided the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with a list of names of all individuals who used a BoA credit or debit card in the Washington, D.C. region around that time.

After receiving this data, the FBI created an internal portal, where employees could search these typically private transactions and profiles could then be made on individual citizens of concern, like those who have shopped at Cabela’s or purchased a Bible, the panel claims.

Over 14,000 federal employees accessed that sensitive financial data in 2023 during which the subcommittee claims 3.3 million ‘warrantless searches’ were made.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy could launch their DOGE initiative to cut government spending by firing the 14,000 federal employees who were illegally targeting conservatives and Trump supporters!

The Weaponization Committee published a video on X explaining the results of the investigation. This should concern all Americans.

Wake me when the ‘Do NOTHING’ (R)N(C) party DOES...any/some thing (aside from committees, writing reports/sternly worded letters+)

The “hard pill” to swallow for far too many here in FR (& outside of FR): The (R)N(C) hasn’t actually done ANYTHING to protect Rights, let alone limit/shrink govt (back to its lawful size/scope). Yet, they continue to vote for the same (what’s the definition of ‘insanity’ again??) *shrug*

DEA has access to patient drug information without obtaining warrants. In many states they are required to get permission from judge to gather information. However, DEA has argued that they have a right to the information because it’s from a 3rd party.
The third-party doctrine holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers and e-mail servers—have “no reasonable expectation of privacy.”
This crap has to stop.

Let’s let conservatives see all the transactions of liberals and find things to embarrass and imprison them all over, now.

We should have four years to do this.
