The Bank of America has been served with a subpoena to provide to congressional investigators information on its scheme to turn over customers’ private information to the FBI, without any court order.
It is Rep. Jim Jordan, the chief of the House Judiciary Committee, who announced the move in a statement released by the committee.
“In 2021, BoA provided the FBI – voluntarily and without any legal process – with a list of individuals who made transactions in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area using a BoA credit or debit card between January 5 and January 7, 2021,” the statement said.
“When that information was brought to the attention of Steven Jensen, the FBI’s then-Section Chief of the Domestic Terrorism Operations Section, he acted to ‘pull’ the BoA information from FBI systems because ‘the leads lacked allegations of federal criminal conduct.’”
The move, of course, accompanied the leftist agenda to portray the Jan. 6, 2021, protest-turned-riot at the Capitol a full-fledged “insurrection” in which participants intended to overthrow the government, take over control of the military and install a new command and control team for the nation, as a real insurrection would involve.
Instead, experts have repeatedly described it as a protest that turned, for a few hundred people, into a riot in which they broke windows and doors at the Capitol and vandalized portions.
However, Democrats have insisted it is an “insurrection” because they claim that President Donald Trump’s urging to his rally crowd to protest the election “peacefully” makes him complicit, and they want to throw him from the 2024 presidential ballot for that.
They’re using an obscure portion of the 14th Amendment that top legal experts say doesn’t apply to the situation, yet their “lawfare” campaign already has included multiple lawsuits across many states trying to get Trump banned from the ballot.
As part of the DOJ’s promotion that the events were an insurrection, thousands of Americans, some who weren’t even in Washington, D.C., that day, have been arrested and held without bail for years.
A report from Just the News revealed the subpoena demands information about the company’s decision to volunteer customer data with the FBI.
“The committee further stated that it had identified documents suggesting the FBI sought to explore a litany of financial transactions from the data, including prior firearm purchases,” the report said.
House GOP investigators began an investigation into the Bank of America agenda a few months ago.
At the time, Jordan and Kentucky GOP Rep. Thomas Massie asked CEO Brian Moynihan to provide them with information related to the banks’ compilation of said customer data.
“[T]he Committee has received 223 pages of documents responsive to our original requests,” Jordan wrote to Moynihan on Thursday. “However, to date, BoA has refused to provide the Committee and Select Subcommittee with the filing it turned over to the FBI.”
Jordon continued, “Accordingly, and in light of your lack of compliance with our earlier voluntary request, please find attached a subpoena from the Committee on the Judiciary to compel the production of the requested documents. To the extent that any responsive documents to the subpoena include information such as customer names, addresses, credit card numbers, birth dates, or social security numbers, the Committee requests that the information be redacted to protect personal identifiable information.”
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Shortly after Hamas terrorists fired over 5,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel on Oct. 7 and then proceeded to attack the Jewish state by land, sea and air – torturing, burning, beheading and murdering well over a thousand people, including women, children and infants, and wounding and abducting hundreds more – world reaction was, in its own way, almost equally shocking.
For after the biggest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust, what followed was an outpouring of celebratory demonstrations, unbridled Jew-hatred, deliriously gleeful support for Hamas and bitter condemnation of the nation of Israel. Not just in the Arab-Muslim world, but throughout the Western world as well, including all across America.
Why? What is behind the explosion of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, pro-terror sentiment in the United States, where Israel has long been one of America’s closest friends and allies? Why are hordes of young “woke” LGBT demonstrators marching in support of Hamas – when Hamas wouldn’t think twice about binding and blindfolding them and throwing them off the roof of a tall building – as they routinely do in the Muslim world?
It turns out there’s one area of agreement that is so powerful, deep-seated and all-consuming that the vast differences between the deranged left and the murderous jihadists melt away into Kumbaya harmony.
All of this and much more is completely exposed in November’s issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled ISRAEL VS. GLOBAL JIHAD: How Jew-hatred, radical Islam and Leftism are pushing us toward World War III. Beyond a deeply insightful dive into why leftists are surging toward radical Islam – which hates and dreams of raping and butchering them – this Whistleblower issue includes fantastic articles by everyone from top Israeli analyst (and former Israel Defense Forces officer) Caroline Glick to Harvest Christian Fellowship’s Pastor Greg Laurie on the current war in Israel and biblical prophecies regarding the End Times … which he says are now upon us.
WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
