“Massive Scandal” Brewing In D.C. Involving ‘Doctored’ Crime Statistics
Murders Counted As ‘Accidents’
Debra Heine |American Greatness as posted on ZH
White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller told reporters Monday that the Trump administration has uncovered a “massive scandal” in Washington D.C. involving the doctoring of crime statistics.
He said the alleged corruption is currently under investigation and said details of the corruption will soon be brought to light.
“The results will stun you,” he said.
Miller made the remarks in the Oval Office after President Trump signed a slew of new executive orders to end cashless bail throughout the United States and in the District of Columbia, prosecute the burning of the American flag, and additional measures to address crime in Washington D.C.
Miller said D.C. already had the worst crime statistics in the United States when “honestly measured,” but those stats “dramatically understated how bad it was.”
The White House advisor told reporters that murders and homicides were allegedly being reported as accidents instead of murders.
“This is how severe the manipulation of the crime data has been in the city and it will all be uncovered and it will all be brought to light,” he said.
For the past two weeks—since the D.C. crime crackdown began—the city has not seen a single murder or homicide.
“No police officer working in the city can remember a time in their lives when there has been no murders,” Miller asserted.
He said police officers have told him that members of the public have been thanking them for making D.C safe again.
“For the first time in their lives, they can use the parks, they can walk on the streets, you have people who can walk freely at night without worrying about being ribbed or mugged,” he said. “They’re wearing their watch again, they’re wearing jewelry again, they’re carrying purses again.”
Miller explained that D.C. residents had been forced to “change their who lives for fear of being murdered, mugged or carjacked.”
He added that Trump had freed the 700,000 residents of the city from “the rule of criminals and thugs.”
Miller credited Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Administrator Terrance C. Cole with discovering that street criminals in Washington D.C. have been “doing business directly with the transnational criminal cartels,” which are foreign terrorist organizations.
“So not only was the city being run by these criminal thugs, but they were working with some of the most dangerous terrorist organizations on the planet to traffic weapons and drugs into this city,” he explained.
“What we are uncovering every day is shocking to us and we look forward to sharing the results with all of you but President Trump, your leadership has uncovered some of the great public safety scandals of our life and now because of you, people are safe and free for the first time ever in this city,” he concluded.
Vice President JD Vance questioned why Democrats are so outraged over Trump’s efforts to reduce crime in the nation’s capital since the results have been so positive.
“I want to echo something the president said where you say there haven’t been murders in a couple of weeks in D.C., and it doesn’t sound good, but then you talk to local law enforcement, and I didn’t realize this, that this town averaged one murder every other day for the last 20, 30 years,” Vance began.
“Which means that in two short weeks, the president and the team have saved 6 or 7 lives. People who would have been killed on the streets of D.C., who are now living, breathing, spending time with their families because the president had the willpower to say no more,” he continued.
Vance took a shot at the Democrat governors who are fighting Trump’s D.C. crime crackdown.
“Look at Governor Pritzker in Illinois or Governor Newsom in Los Angeles, or Governor Moore in Maryland,” the Vice President said. “They are angrier about the fact that the president of the United States is offering to help them get their crime under control than they are about the fact that murderers are running roughshod over their cities and have been for decades.”
He added: “Why are Democrat governors angrier about federal law enforcement helping clean up their streets than they are about the fact that those streets need to be cleaned up to begin with?”
Vance diagnosed their twisted priorities as “a real sickness in the head.”
“I think most Democrats rank and file, nobody likes crime. Republicans don’t like crime. Democrats don’t like crime. Independents don’t like crime,” he told reporters, adding, “Why are Democratic governors doing everything in their power to make crime easier to do in their cities?”
Vance said it made no sense to him, but regardless, he appreciated Trump’s efforts to clean up America’s streets for its citizens.
Patrick Yoes, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, issued the following statement today supporting Trump’s executive orders addressing cashless bail:
“The National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) represents over 382,000 law enforcement officers across the United States as well as the major law enforcement agencies responding to the crime crisis in the District of Columbia, including the officers serving in Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, Metro Transit Police Department, U.S. Capitol Police, and the U.S. Park Police.
“Today, we are proud to announce our full support for President Trump’s Executive Order addressing the dangers of cashless bail systems. Our officers understand the real-world consequences of policies that prioritize leniency over accountability, usually at the expense of community safety and the rule of law.
“This Executive Order is a critical step forward in restoring balance to D.C.’s criminal justice system by curbing the reckless implementation of cashless bail reforms that have allowed repeat offenders to evade any meaningful consequences for their criminality. We commend the Administration for recognizing the importance of deterrence in preventing crime and protecting our neighborhoods by ensuring that those who pose a genuine threat to public safety aren’t back on the street after completing a little paperwork.
“Law enforcement officers spend every single shift in harm’s way while protecting our communities. The citizens of D.C. cannot afford policies that undermine their efforts by releasing dangerous individuals back into society without sufficient safeguards. The FOP urges all D.C. stakeholders—legislators, judges, and community leaders—to join us in championing this Executive Order as a vital measure to help protect our nation’s capital.”
