Remember when Joe Biden was in the White House ... while President Autopen was in charge and the Democrats (with help from the media of course) kept bragging about how crime was down in American cities, including Washington, D.C.? The Left made those same claims after Trump took office and said he was going to call in the National Guard to restore law and order to the nation's capital.
Yeah, well ... they LIED. That's what Democrats do.
Now we know that the numbers the Democrats and media were using to claim D.C. crime was down were fudged, according to the House Oversight Committee.
"Cook the books" was reportedly the order:
Rep. James Comer (@RepJamesComer) ~ 🚨 Oversight Committee confirmed the following in a new report:
D.C. Chief Smith pressured staff to cook the books & manipulate crime data.
Chief Smith removed officers for reporting accurate crime data.
Chief Smith used fear to achieve her agenda. @FoxNews @BillMelugin_

Rep. James Comer (@RepJamesComer) ~ 🚨 BOMBSHELL TESTIMONY: D.C. police commanders not only stated Chief Pamela Smith pressured staff to cook the books on crime data.
They also confirmed President Trump’s law-and-order surge in D.C. is effective.

Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) ~ 🚨 BREAKING: A JAW-DROPPING report from the House just confirmed the left-wing D.C. police chief FALSIFIED crime statistics, "cooking the books" to make the city seem MUCH safer than it was.
- Chief Smith PUNISHED and RETLIATED if they tried to report rising crime data, BERATING them
- Chief Pam Smith PRESSURED commanders to lower crime stats "by any means necessary"
- Chief Smith pushed for lesser-pursued charges EVEN for serious crimes
- Required certain crimes to be reviewed by her office
WOW.

Multiple narratives have been proven false.
We can be fairly certain that this didn't only happen in Washington, D.C.
Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) ~ This is happening in every major city in America. The communists have opened the jails and flooded their communities with animals. Then they’re lying about the crime numbers so people won’t catch on. D.C. is just the one we know about cause Congress has access to their books.
Many cities don't even turn over their crime data, so we'll never know all the lengths some areas go to in order to hide how bad the crime problem really is.
AmericanPapaBearâ„¢ (@AmericaPapaBear) ~ This was happening all over the country.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
