LISTEN: Bank of America tells John Eastman, in a recording obtained by @DailyCaller, that they will not tell him why his bank account was shut down without warning.

Billionaire investor Marc Andreessen outlined to Joe Rogan in November about the federal government's rogue "Operation Choke Point." He described it as a move by the Department of Justice that initially targeted marijuana businesses and gun manufacturers, adding that under Biden, it was then weaponized to destroy political opponents, tech founders, and the crypto community.
