If you want to know how bad things really are in The Swamp, here’s your answer: city leaders have been cooking the books to make crime look less out of control than it actually is. That’s right, while American families are living in fear, dealing with theft, assaults, and violent attacks, police brass in the nation’s capital were directing officers to misclassify crimes. They were told to downgrade felonies to misdemeanors so they could protect the left-wing political class from having to face the ugly truth about their soft-on-crime policies and failed leadership.
This is exactly the kind of cover-up you’d expect from a Dem-run city, right? Instead of admitting and fixing the problem, they bury it, spin it, and punish anyone who dares to speak out. That’s what makes this story so important: a whistleblower inside the department exposed the scheme and was promptly fired for it. She sued the city, and they’ve now “quietly” settled with her.
And now that President Trump has stepped in to take control of the soaring crime nightmare, this story couldn’t come at a worse time for DC’s political elite, who are still out there spinning fairytales that crime is under control in DC.
