“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.

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.
