The FBI Is Lying About Violent Crime To Help Democrats Win This Election
The Federalist ^ | November 5, 2024 | John R Lott Jr

Posted on 11/05/2024 9:30:03 AM PST by JohnRLott

The FBI has a big transparency problem. For a year, the media has been using the FBI’s estimates of reported crime to claim that crime has been falling. When the FBI released its numbers for 2023 in September 2024, it hid that it had revised its earlier crime data for 2021 and 2022, hiding the increase in 2022 and that there had been a net increase in crime over 2022 and 2023. Just days before an election in which crime has been a major issue, the FBI continues to hide the revisions.

On Thursday, House Oversight and Reform Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., demanded that the FBI explain why it hid this increase even as Democrats and the media have been citing the claimed drop to bolster their election chances.

In responses to reporters over the past couple of weeks, the FBI has claimed: “The FBI stands behind each of our Crime in the Nation publications. In 2022, the estimated violent crime rate decreased 1.7 percent from 2021.”

But the FBI’s revised numbers are clear. . . .

Over the last 9 years, the DOJ and FBI have nearly completely destroyed their reputations.

They need to be closed down completely.

Any useful functions they perform that are still needed can be reconstructed elsewhere in a new agency

AND arresting political enemies. AND fabricating fake crimes to punish political opponents. AND spying on Americans. AND Spying on Trump. And planting fake pipe bombs. AND facilitating human smuggling across the border. AND hiding and protecting criminal gangs imported by the Chomo administration. AND protecting pedo rings in Hollywood and the political elite class. Intimidating political enemies, anti-abortionist, parents, and Christians. Covering up Islamic terrorist cells in the Islamic community. MURDERING political enemies of the party. HEY FIBBERS? Where is Epstein’s black book? Where is Diddy’s?

The FBI has turned into the “Brown SHirts” for the Democrats and the left. The only way to correct this is by mass executions of the leadership of the FBI. They have become immune to culpability for their corrupt actions.

They are afraid of Trump. In fact they hate him

Seems like it’s time to sweep it clean and start over

I would transfer many of their useful functions to states. Such as forensic labs.

Now to coordinate things on the federal level, I would transfer some agents to Marshalls.

And some other guys to Border Patrol. They will need more manpower.

I think that's about it.

The DHS octopus is a major culprit. While FIB is still under Justice, it's interconnected and overlapping with DHS so that "national security" is all just one big power center, which, of course, is corruptive open to political manipulation.

DHS is another huge Bush era mistake.

The free market of property insurance and liability insurance tell the story better.

On this they can also say “but what about inflation” and that reminds me that Inflation has been awful & that the Inflation Reduction Act was a disaster. But yes, even with inflation, the figures on property/liability insurance show that crime has gone way up :(

Tell them to get in line.

The FBI, DOJ, Lower State Courts, IRS, DOD, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Federal Reserve Board, Home Land Security, and so many more Biden Administration agencies have been making false statements and covering up for Democrats that it is mind Boggling.
