Jordan Subpoenas Bank Of America For ‘Sharing’ Private Financial Data With FBI | Eastern NC Now

    House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoenaed Bank of America this week over lawmakers' investigation into the sharing of private financial data with the FBI related to the January 6 riot.

    In a letter to BoA CEO Brian Moynihan, Jordan said that the bank had not yet provided lawmakers on the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government with all the necessary communications and documents they had requested.

    Specifically, Jordan said the bank had not turned over a "filing" that it had sent to the FBI after the agency requested financial data from individuals who had been in the Washington, D.C., area around January 6, 2021.

    Jordan said that the BoA gave the FBI a list of all individuals who had made purchases in the D.C. area around January 6 "without any legal process."

    "Documents obtained by the Committee and Select Subcommittee show that the FBI also provided BoA with specific search query terms, indicating that the FBI was 'interested in all financial relationships' of BoA customers transacting in Washington D.C. and that had made 'ANY historical purchase' of a firearm, or those who had purchased a hotel, Airbnb, or airline travel within a given date range," Jordan said.

    The bank has said that it handed over the information in a legal process that was begun by the Department of Treasury. Jordan said the records the committee had so far viewed indicated that the FBI was the agency that reached out, not the Treasury Department.

    "As a result, it is unclear what 'legal' process permits the FBI or BoA to share the sensitive customer information of potentially thousands of BoA customers and implicate them in a federal law enforcement investigation without any clear criminal nexus," he wrote.

    Jordan said that if the FBI did have such authority, then Congress would need to act to protect Americans' financial privacy.

    "It should not be the case that federal law enforcement has carte blanche access to Americans' financial information by deeming a transaction or class of transactions as 'suspicious' or otherwise," he said.

    The probe into the BoA's cooperation with the FBI is just one aspect of House Republicans' investigation into the politicization of federal government agencies. The committee has also looked at governmental pressure to censor information on social media.

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?

  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.

  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.

  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.
