I guess this is the norm. FBI leadership carrying the water for the democrat party. Imagine our leadership directing the Federal agencies to out and out lie to the American people. This is third world chit yet the rats keep on voting democrat. They actually like and support the corruption.

Stealth Edit: FBI Quietly Revises Violent Crime StatsWhen the FBI originally released the “final” crime data for 2022 in September 2023, it reported that the nation’s violent crime rate fell by 2.1%. This quickly became, and remains, a Democratic Party talking point to counter Donald Trump’s claims of soaring crime.
But the FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that shows violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.
The Bureau – which has been at the center of partisan storms – made no mention of these revisions in its September 2024 press release.
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.”
A half-century ago, the DOJ provided a total crime measure, including both reported and unreported crime. The results of the department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics 2023 National Crime Victimization Survey, released in mid-September, tell a very different story from the FBI data.
Instead of the FBI’s 3.5% drop in the reported violent crime rate in 2023, the NCVS found a 4.1% increase in the reported violent crime rate. Even with the revised FBI numbers, in 2022, the FBI’s 4.5% increase pales in comparison to the NCVS’s 29.1% increase.

So, something that everyone on the Tug knew was a lie (except for the Tug leftards), but yet David Muir noted ABC teleprompter reader swallowed the FBI report like a $5 hooker. When I say "no functional difference" between supposed media elite and mello and Team Dazzler this is exactly what I mean.

The question of whether crime has increased in the Harris-Biden administration compared to Trump’s was a major point of contention in Philadelphia Tuesday night, when the 45th president charged that “crime in this country is through the roof.”
“President Trump,” Muir stepped in to say, “as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country.”
