President Biden's Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen dodged multiple questions from Republicans about why her department instructed banks to comb through Americans' bank records after January 6 looking for 'extremists.'

Federal investigators in Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) asked U.S. banks to scour customer transactions for key terms like 'MAGA' and 'Trump,' Republicans revealed in January.

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.

Isn’t it her responsibility to truthfully answer interrogatories regarding her official position?

Anyone who would duck questions asked by the DEMs would be thrown into jail.

From the article:

“Subscriptions to news outlets containing ‘extremist’ views would also be an indicator for financial instructions to look at, according to the material the Treasury provided to banks.”

FR donations should get a boost out of this!

Asking her questions is antisemitic behavior.

I love how CSPAN wasted no time in strategically placing a graphic identifying Janet Yellen...to cover over the sign at her seat stating The Honorable Janet L. Yellen.

Honorable? I don't think so.

Yellen would NEVER stick the banks on BLM, or commies, or illegals or crimnals... Nope that kind of crap is saved for American citizens with the ‘wrong’ political beliefs.

She’s a totalitarian thug who would have NO PROBLEM having us loaded on cattle cars sent to death camps. It’s the same
‘choice tree’...

Yellen needs to be fired.

“After getting grilled by Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., on the Treasury’s surveillance instructions, Yellen claimed the matter occurred before she was sworn into her role as secretary and she would look into the matter.”

And then do what?

The federal government is a fascist dictatorship that is telling the people to go to hell.

Well, yeah, but at least she is well-meaning.

If the idiots at Treasury Dept. really wanted to find the perps from J6, they would have searched for bulk purchases of matching sunglasses, dark shoes, shorts and t-shirts.

I watched her tapdancing like crazy after that question. She should’ve known this would come up and at least have a big lying statement prepared.
