Tim Scott Blasts Biden Admin for ‘Flagrant Violation’ of Privacy for Searching Americans’ Records

“Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), the ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, wrote to the Biden administration on Friday, blasting them for their alleged “flagrant violation” of Americans’ privacy.

Scott wrote his letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) Director Andrea Gacki about reports that the Treasury Department provided materials to financial institutions instructing them to search and filter Americans’ banking information using “politically charged terms” such as “Trump,” “MAGA,” and other words. This includes terms that would indicate the legal purchase of a firearm, the purchase of religious books, and subscriptions to media containing “extremist views.”

The South Carolina senator said that these allegations represent an improper targeting of Americans in a manner eerily similar to the Obama administration’s “Operation Choke Point:””

Thank you Senator Scott for your actions addressing the fascist thug Biden regime for its actions using banks to target ordinary Americans. The targeting of words representing legitimate beliefs and ideas is wrong. In fact it’s downright Orwellian. Yet another Biden overreach exposed

 

For the record, I’m proud to be openly a MAGA Republican. I wear my affiliation as such as a badge of honor.

 

Make no mistake. The moment dems have the power to, they will strip right wingers, straight white men, and anyone who gets in their way of all their rights. They will do so while claiming they are doing it out of compassion.

 

This happened under Trump's watch. Righties will do anything to deflect.

 

I’m very sorry for your loss…

 

That is who they are and what they do if they get the power to reveal their true nature for all to see.

 

He didn’t authorize the deep state permanent governing class to do that to his voters and supporters.

 

No loss at all. I’m proud to wave the red blanket of my beliefs in front of bi coastal urban secular progressive bulls….

 

And we are thankful you identify yourself

Why would Biden be investigated for something that happened under trump and by individuals hired by the trump administration?

 

No stone should be left unturned.

 

Trump handpicked the FBI director who did this, not Biden. Your anger should be targeted elsewhere.

 

My righteous anger is directed exactly at who it rightfully should be directed. At the permanent establishment governing elites in their alphabet soup like swamp of deep state agencies. Repeal Chevron!

 

I repeat this happened when Trump was president. You are accusing Biden of something that happened under Trump.

Why did Trump appoint someone part of the swamp to such a high position?

 

Red flag...? More like a ‘Red Badge of Courage’ I think...

 

Like anyone else would get approved in Senate Confirmation. The Founders thought they were being deliberate, but in reality we see an executive branch more and more neuteured by the legislature as 'advice and consent' has become political blackmail to accepting only certain nominees.

 

Then why did Trump nominate anyone at all? If Wray is part of the deep state, just let the position go unfilled.

 

Later into his term he did just that or appointed interim persons for the spots…

 

Does the headline say deep state or something else?

 

Yes only qualified ones. Nobody else had issues for centuries lol

 

Then explain the atrocity that is the Biden Government, where Biden put social or racial status ahead of any such qualification. Had Trump been anywhere near as open about it as Biden, the 'he's racist' cries would've been 1000 times fold.

Even though it's supposed to be 'separate' branches, the fatally flawed 'advice and consent' gave the Senate a foot in the door as they dispersed with the 'advice' part and used 'consent as a rubberstamp.

And if you give an inch, they take a mile as the Legislature passed bills to directly interfere with the executive branch even though they are meant to be separate.

 

OK, let's see if I'm following this twist of history?! This occurred under the Trump Admin after Trump replaced the head of the FBI with Wray? But Joe Biden, from his basement and dementia riddled, was actually pulling all the strings which makes Trump not responsible under his watch, innocent and a victim?!

Is it just me that thinks that's really ****ed up logic?

 

I would like to see all the searches for the last 5 years, when the right makes claims like this, it's usually them abusing the system

 

Bravely spoken

Yeah nothing but respect for those who think they are better than others. !!!!

 

Yes, we know. This is why we laugh at you all. I'm sorry. LOL

 

LOL, fear mongering is all rightists have. For the past 4 decades I've been told the left was gonna take away our arms, yet this never happened.

Serious question, when the old fear believing boomers are gone, do you think your party will change course and find new strategies to convince folks to vote for them in elections? The majority of voters already know the GOP is useless and does nothing to help Americans. Only the boomers still vote for the do nothing GOP. What do they plan to do when they are all gone? The GOP better figure it out soon. The end for them is nigh. LOL
