Crime Data Manipulation in Washington, D.C.


The piece alleges that the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department intentionally manipulated crime statistics to make the city appear safer than it actually is.


A whistleblower reportedly informed the House Oversight Committee that crime reports were downgraded (e.g., stabbings and carjackings reclassified as lesser offenses).


Representative James Comer (House Oversight Committee Chair) is leading the investigation.


The Justice Department is said to be conducting its own criminal inquiry.


The narrative ties this issue to claims that Democrats are downplaying crime while Republicans, alongside former President Trump, aim to take tougher measures.


Political Framing of Crime and Law Enforcement


Comer argues Democrats and “liberal media” are misleading the public by claiming crime is down, despite everyday experiences suggesting otherwise.


He emphasizes a Republican agenda focused on “law and order,” contrasting it with Democrats’ alleged leniency (bail reform, light sentencing, etc.).


The Oversight Committee plans to pursue legislation in coordination with Trump and the White House to combat crime.


Biden “Autopen” Investigation


The second half shifts focus to a separate probe into President Joe Biden’s alleged use of an autopen (a device that signs documents automatically).


Comer and House Republicans are investigating whether Biden personally approved key documents like pardons and executive orders.


Witness testimony suggested limited direct interaction with Biden, raising questions about his mental fitness and who was making executive decisions.


Several aides invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned, fueling suspicions of a cover-up.


Comer claims this raises constitutional concerns about presidential authority in Biden’s final months.
