Judicial Watch sues FBI for records on obtaining banking information on people in DC on Jan. 6
2021-07-07
BLUF:
[Just The News] The watchdog is asking for all records of communication between the FBI and financial institutions, including Bank of America, Citibank, Chase Manhattan Bank, Discover, and American Express, among others. However, no time frame was given for the FBI and DOJ to respond to the request.

In June, it was discovered that Bank of America had handed over the banking and transaction information of approximately 200 people in the Washington D.C. area at the time of the riot, according to Fox News.

Bank of America allegedly "actively but secretly engaged in the hunt for extremists in cooperation with the government" and, following the events of January 6, gave the FBI financial records of their customers."
Such attention should be given the financial transactions of Hunter Biden and his associates.

#5  What was the IC distracted with when the USSR collapsed? What was it distracted by prior to 9/11? What big thing out of the blue will arrive while they look at QAnon Shaman's bank statements?

#4  I have it from a reliable source that during the protest, despite multiple portable cell towers, communication was next impossible. Probably due to overload, like a football game (or something else?). Doesn't mean the ones that got thru weren't monitored.

#3  /\ If the government is in possession of protestors cell phones (selectors), you can rest assured that anything transmitted has very likely been examined. In the area of electronic surveillance, once the power to the selector is turned on, assumptions of compromise are SOP.

As an aside, the monitoring of cell towers can provide instantaneous or real-time collection opportunities.

#2  I wonder if they are investigating those who received images from protesters on 1/6?

#1  The government now owns the banks, and yes, those cards are an electronic GPS and recorded history of travel and activities.
