Data manipulation. Government agencies are constantly manipulating the data to paint the Biden-Harris Administration in a favorable light. Everything from the monthly jobs report to CPI data is skewed in favor of FAILED policies. The FBI is now “revising,” another form of manipulation, its crime data for 2022 to show that crime skyrocketed under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
How skewed was the initial report? The FBI attempted to hide that VIOLENT crime increased by 4.5% in a single year. The agency failed to initially report an additional 1,699 homicides, 33,000 robberies, 7,780 rapes, and 37,000 aggravated assaults.
The media initially claimed that crime fell under the current regime. As Crime Research reported, USA Today was running headlines claiming that “Violent crime dropped for third straight year in 2023, including murder and rape.” The story initially reported: “Violent crime in the United States declined for the third straight year in 2023, including instances of murder, rape and assault, according to Federal Bureau of Investigation estimates released Monday. Overall violent crime declined 3% compared to the prior year, the FBI statistics show. Murder decreased more than 11%, while rape fell roughly 9%.”
Headlines praised Biden and Harris for imposing law and order despite individual police agencies stating otherwise. The news proudly stated that crime was lower than during the pandemic, and more importantly, lower than during the Trump Administration. This was a bold faced lie intended to mislead the public.
“The 2022 violent crime rate has been updated for inclusion in CIUS, 2023,” the FBI reported on its website, which is the ONLY statement the agency has made at the time of this writing regarding the data manipulation.
Professor Carl Moody of the College of William and Mary has spent his career studying crime statistics. Moody told reporters that this sudden revision is extremely odd. “There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015, and from 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it difficult to trust the FBI data,” Moody said.
How does one underreport 80,029 violent crimes? There is no telling the true statistics as the agency has clearly been compromised. We saw the FBI hide countless skeletons for Biden during the 2020 US Presidential Election, and now the agency is doing the same for Kamala Harris in 2024. Your chance of becoming a victim of violent crime significantly rose under Biden-Harris. How could anyone expect this to change under Harris-Walz?
