FBI Alters Violent Crime Data to Show Rise, Not Drop under Biden-Harris Admin

The FBI quietly reversed their 2022 data on violent crime, saying it rose rather than declined, leaving many speculating they did so to protect the Biden-Harris admin.

The Biden-Harris administration continues its dance of deceit, hoodwinking the American public with cherry-picked economic data one day and then shamelessly altering crime statistics the next, aiming to fabricate a narrative of safety and stability under their watch. Back in September 2023, the FBI initially released what they claimed was “final” crime data for 2022, showing a supposed decline in the violent crime rate by 2.1%. The Democrats latched onto this data to fend off criticism from Donald Trump, who has been vocally critical of their handling of national security and law enforcement.

But now, the FBI has now quietly revised those figures, revealing that violent crime actually rose by a staggering 4.5% in 2022. This wasn’t just a minor adjustment but a complete reversal of the previously reported trend. Even more egregious is the lack of transparency from the FBI, which opted not to mention these critical revisions in their subsequent press releases. Instead, they left it to the vigilant to unearth this manipulation from the depths of their website.

Recall the ABC News debate where Trump was called out on crime statistics? The moderators threw flawed FBI figures at him, figures that suited their narrative. The liberal media and the Democrats don’t miss a beat using such erroneous data to bash Trump. But the moment those numbers don’t play into their hands? Suddenly, it’s silence all around. The hypocrisy is as blatant as it is shameless.

Americans Deserve Better, They Deserve the Truth

This pattern of data distortion isn’t new to the Biden administration. The FBI’s secretive recalculations mirror similar missteps by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which had previously inflated job creation numbers, only to make significant downward revisions later. This practice of announcing inflated positive results followed by quiet corrections is a manipulative tactic used to create a false sense of progress and achievement.

As the FBI fails to provide a straightforward explanation for these dramatic shifts in crime statistics, the integrity of their data is called into question. This lack of clarity and accountability only fuels public mistrust in institutions that are supposed to serve impartially. It’s time for the FBI to be upfront about its methodologies and errors, rather than leaving the public in the dark. As we approach critical elections, the accurate portrayal of crime rates is more than a matter of statistical accuracy; it is a crucial component of public policy and community safety. Misrepresenting these figures distorts the public’s understanding of their own safety and skews their perception of leadership in the White House.

The continued manipulation of crime data under the Biden-Harris administration is not merely a bureaucratic blunder—it is a serious breach of trust with American citizens. As these leaders continue to paint a rosy picture of a country in turmoil, it becomes increasingly clear that they are willing to compromise the truth for political gain. The American people deserve better.
