Bank of America may not be the only financial institution that voluntarily turned over mass amounts of customer data and transaction history to the FBI on and around January 6, 2021.
According to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust Chairman Thomas Massie, a slew of other banks may have also turned over private customer information requested by the FBI without a warrant. Those banks include Citigroup, PNC Financial Services, JPMorgan Chase & Company, Truist, Wells Fargo and U.S. Bankcorp.
“The Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government are conducting oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and its receipt of information about American citizens from private entities. An FBI whistleblower has disclosed that following the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Bank of America (BoA) provided the FBI—voluntarily and without any legal process—with a list of individuals who had made transactions in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area with a BoA credit or debit card between January 5 and January 7, 2021,” Jordan and Massie wrote in a series of letters to executives at each bank.
This is a big nothing burger. If you’re going to make purchases via bank cards then you know or should know that there is a data trail and that it can be easily followed by law enforcement. So what? If you want to be a criminal, use cash or bitcoin like the Cartels do. Otherwise, don’t complain when you leave crumbs of evidence. If you want to break the law, you gotta be smart. Don’t blame the government for doing its job and don’t blame the banks for being good citizens.
NOT ONE
That’s how many bankers and FBI agents/supervisors are going to jail will even be fined.

Meanwhile your President has been taking bribes while the SAME FBI runs cover and interference for him.
