Federal investigators asked banks to search and filter customer transactions by using terms like "MAGA" and "Trump" as part of an investigation into Jan. 6, warning that purchases of "religious texts" could indicate "extremism," the House Judiciary Committee revealed Wednesday.
Fox News Digital has learned the committee also obtained documents that indicate officials suggested that banks query transactions with keywords like Dick's Sporting Goods, Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops and more.
The House Judiciary Committee and its subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government have been conducting oversight of federal law enforcement’s "receipt of information about American citizens without legal process and its engagement with the private sector."
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.

But not the Koran?
The United States of America sent Bibles to people in countries... That didn’t allow competition with God. Is that where the bidenbarry gov is.. A foreigner and a senile.. Both would sell our nation.
“It’s total control they are after.”
And they don’t care who, what, or how much they have to destroy in order to get it.
Depends on whether your faith is strong enough to endure the chastisement.
The younger generations.. Adults that have not experienced a war, a depression, an attack on our nation that paralyzed, a power outage where no convenience worked..
They have no idea what can happen with other countries that could have plans to take the United States down.. Young men are not subjected to military training..
They have no idea what freedoms, taken for granted. Are, till gone.
Their life is handy.. Phone, car, money, forever...
Look at the picture of the national cemeteries with the white crosses in rows.. Every one of them is a life given for their luxury today.
Their freedoms are for as long as we are a strong nation.. Free of the corruption in gov today.
We can’t afford to take it lightly.
And that open border is the invitation the radical left has done to our country.. There will be hill to pay.. This nation has been set up by those who have no brain.. No common sense and no love of country.. It’s power they want.. At any price.
Sadly, I agree with everything you said there.
I knew we were screwed when they stole the 2020 election. I also knew we were probably past the point of no return when we allowed them to get away with it. They are taking full advantage and will continue to do so, of our apathy and inaction and “normalcy bias” stupidity.
He was an amateur!
BTTT
Yep, when Stalin died, he was arrested and executed almost immediately, along with practically all his top capos.............
bttt
The Death of Stalin exaggerated a bit, Beria was actually put on trial, and executed about nine months after Stalin’s death.
IIRC, they were all executed on the same day as the trial. No appeal, no final goodbyes, just marched right outside and shot, Ceausescu style................
“They are taking full advantage and will continue to do so, of our apathy and inaction and “normalcy bias” stupidity.”
I stopped arguing with all the “Vote them all out’ and “File a lawsuit,” crowds here. They think the system works or will eventually work, and have a blind faith in it that you and I will not be able to persuade them out of.
Don Jr. was complaining about all the apathy the other day. What does he expect after his father told us about all the “winning” we were going to do and all we’ve done since is lose?
Beria was whining like a little bitch when his time game. Just as he used to mock his victims, he would act out their last moments in front of Stalin.
There is no will to hold anyone responsible. That is how we are turned into a lawless nation.. And into a sort of democracy instead of a republic with a constitution.
I have compared a country and a family.. Being parents take a lot of monitoring and teaching.. Every day, all day. It seems easier to ‘just let it go’, many times.. Ya can’t!
Government has a bad habit of letting things go.. Depending on who it is. Try that with 4 kids and only go after 1.
We have so many things in our government that are being used at the will of the President and his helpers... Against only the ones they don’t like.
There have been some serious decisions made.. Harmful to all of us.. They habeen been given a shrug.. Continue on.
I’m disgusted with what and who are in charge.. Pitiful performance.. By those who don’t care about anything but themselves and how much. They all need to be held accountable.!!!!!!
MAGA. Trump. Cabela’s. Bass Pro. Dick’s. Bible. Latin.
biden, a massive failure as president and a decrepit mass of festering cells, has ordered this action because he wants to harass/intimidate/persecute/prosecute/suppress/eliminate people who have some interest in those things.
A criminal action on his part.
“I stopped arguing with all the “Vote them all out’ and “File a lawsuit,” crowds here. They think the system works or will eventually work, and have a blind faith in it that you and I will not be able to persuade them out of.”
I don’t even try any more. Some just refuse to face or admit to reality. I have some in my family like that.
“Don Jr. was complaining about all the apathy the other day. What does he expect after his father told us about all the “winning” we were going to do and all we’ve done since is lose?”
Winning up until losing, due to rampant and blatant election fraud and theft, that is.
Something’s gotta give. And this year’s election will probably be the tipping point.
“I’m disgusted with what and who are in charge.. Pitiful performance.. By those who don’t care about anything but themselves and how much. They all need to be held accountable.!!!!!!”
They ‘need’ to be held accountable, but I have a somewhat pessimistic and dim view of the possibility of that ever happening until the “last day”. I believe and trust Biblical prophecy. I don’t think it’s going to be rectified until Jesus returns, and by then you and I will probably be long gone.
I’ve told my sons and other family for years that I’d be the first in line going to fema camps for what I’ve written or said. Bring it on cowards I’ll never shut up.
MAGA, TRUMP! MAGA, TRUMP! MAGA, TRUMP!
