Joe Biden and the Democrats have been touting the FBI’s claim that crime had fallen under Biden, but now that the bureau is revising those stats and saying that crime actually rose, expect Biden and the Democrats to suddenly shut up about it all.
In September of last year, the FBI claimed that in 2022 crime fell 2.1 percent during Biden’s era. That talking point became a major selling point for Biden, Harris and the Democrats. But now the bureau is yanking that football away from the Democrats in mid kick by revising that report to a rise in crime by 45 percent.
Per RealClearInvestigations:
RCI discovered the change through a cryptic reference on the FBI website that states: “The 2022 violent crime rate has been updated for inclusion in CIUS, 2023.” But there is no mention that the numbers increased. One only sees the change by downloading the FBI’s new crime data and comparing it to the file released last year.
After the FBI released its new crime data in September, a USA Today headline read: “Violent crime dropped for third straight year in 2023, including murder and rape.”
It’s been over three weeks since the FBI released the revised data. The Bureau’s lack of acknowledgment or explanation about the significant change concerns researchers.
“I have checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022,” Carl Moody, a professor at the College of William & Mary who specializes in studying crime, told RealClearInvestigations. “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.”
“It is up to the FBI to explain what they have done, and they haven’t explained these large changes,” Dr. Thomas Marvell, the president of Justec Research, a criminal justice statistical research organization, told RCI.
Once again we see how corrupt the FBI is. This agency has been working to aid Democrats, not working to ight crime or keep America safe.
The FBI is a criminal organization.
