14,000 federal employees illegally tapped into the financial files of conservatives. Every one of them should be fired and taken to trial for their crimes. They added Trump and MAGA to their searches to target Trump’s friends and supporters. No one who flaunts the law and spies on Americans should be allowed to remain working for the government unless they were ordered to and were willing to testify against the person who ordered the searches. But then they should be monitored.
The House Judiciary Committee exposed more than 14,000 federal employees after they were tipped off by a whistleblower. Their investigation found that over 14,000 employees did over 3 million instances of illegal searches or an average of 214 searches per employee. Bank of America (BoA), voluntarily and without legal process, provided the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with the names of anyone using their credit or debit card in the vicinity of Washington on or about January 6, 2021.
The committee reported:
“The Committee and Select Subcommittee released an interim report revealing that federal law enforcement had used sweeping search terms like “MAGA” and “TRUMP” to target Americans and even treated purchases of religious texts or firearms as indicators of “extremism.”
The committee found that Americans who expressed opposition to firearm regulations, open borders, COVID-19 lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and the “deep state” as potential domestic terrorists. But, at the same time, they did not view rioters who burned down cities and committed assaults as suspects of domestic terrorism.
The Weaponization Committee published a video on X explaining the results of the investigation. This should concern all Americans.

“Financial Surveillance in the United States: How the Federal Government weaponized the Bank Secrecy Act to spy on Americans”
The Daily Mail reported:
The House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released its damning findings that banks targeted Americans supportive of President-elect Donald Trump.
‘The federal government is spying on your bank account,’ the Republican-led panel posted in a video on X summarizing its 47-page report.
‘The federal government has conditioned financial institutions to work for them,’ another alarming slide on the video reads.
What the video seeks to explain is the complex and convoluted process in which major financial firms, like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase and more have all handed over their customer’s data to the government for free.
‘The next time you swipe your [bank or credit] card know that someone may be watching,’ the subcommittee video eerily adds.
This data can include the location, date and description of transactions, making it easy for the government to compile an understanding of where people go, what they buy and what activities they spend their time on.
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.
