EXCLUSIVE: Federal investigators asked banks to search and filter customer transactions by using terms like "MAGA" and "Trump" as part of an investigation into Jan. 6, warning that purchases of "religious texts" could indicate "extremism," the House Judiciary Committee revealed Wednesday.

Fox News Digital has learned the committee also obtained documents that indicate officials suggested that banks query transactions with keywords like Dick's Sporting Goods, Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops and more.

welcome to 1984

Dick's? hahaha! Dick's is good for disc golf and that's about it. They should filter transactions for terms like "Democrat donation" or "Hunter art purchase" for indication of extremism.

Yep. One of the hazards of having our physical currency replaced with electronic transactions.

Cash = privacy

Patriot Act?

they said this was done without warrants etc.

another example of our socialists hard at work trying to track those they don't like.

Plus #1.

Man everyone is watching what you purchase with your CC. Ever notice how you go to the grocery store and buy something and the very next time you jump onto Facebook there's an ad for it, it's certainly not coincidence or magic. I wouldn't be surprised if health insurance companies tracked every time you purchased fast food, alcohol, or cold medicine. Your GPS on your phone is a good one too, they know your habits better than you do.

Trump pledged that he will never allow the central bank to implement digital currency.

Seems like it would be very easy to eliminate the drug problem in the country along with other illegal acts to get rid of cash

It would also allow government to monitor and control you. Buying too much gas and killing the environment? Your pump purchase is declined. Buying guns or a "dangerous" amount of ammo? Not if government puts you on a watch list or blocks you.

Buying merchandise at businesses that indicate to government that you might be a right wing nationalist? It might be time for you to be surveilled or raided. You know those hunters, fishermen, and outdoorsmen are liable to be closet survivalists and terrorists...

Bank of America offered this information right after Jan 6. Was in the news then swept under the carpet.

I hope Miller Lite and Whataburger don't draw attention.
