Banks spied on Americans after Jan. 6 'without warrants'
“At least 13 financial institutions are being investigated by Republicans in Congress for colluding with the federal government to spy on Americans after the January 6 protests looking for 'extremism' indicators.

The House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government led by top Republican Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is investigating 'collusion' between U.S. banks and federal agencies in the aftermath of the Capitol riot.

The Biden administration worked with banks to comb through 'extremism' indicators like the purchase of a religious text, like a Bible, or searches including the terms 'MAGA' and 'TRUMP,' according to shocking revelations by the committee. …”

An example of outsourcing illegal spying to the private sector to maintain a pretense of lawfulness.

Not even a pretense. It's not lawful even done this way, because it's still ultimately the government requesting transaction-level customer records. Right to Financial Privacy Act (RFPA) sets out a number of ways to do this correctly, and none of them look like this.

This isn't how SARs work. At all.
