Many people are focusing on the political biases in the FBI’s treatment of the Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton campaigns, but the political corruption of the agency goes deeper. One can also see it in the FBI’s raw crime data, particularly when it comes to the public shootings that have so galvanized Americans. The first report under the Obama administration came out in 2014, just weeks before the midterm elections, making it timed for maximum political influence.

Until 3-4 years ago, the FBI crime stats classified Hispanic murderers as white, but it classified Hispanic murder victims as Hispanic.

Thus, the number of “white” murderers was fraudulently inflated.

Even more absurd, when a Hispanic gangbanger murdered a Black gangbanger, FBI statistics claimed a white person murdered a Black person, which fraudulently inflated the number of white-on-Black murderers.

Finally, the number of unsolved murders in each ethnic group is used to fraudulently mislead the public.

Roughly - 20% of white murders are unsolved - 40% of Hispanic murders are unsolved - 60% of Black murders are unsolved.

Frequently, you will see MSM news reports that compare the “raw number” of murderers by ethnicity.

Since most white-on-white murderers are prosecuted, once again that fraudulently inflates the number of white murderers compared to Black and Hispanic murderers.
