On Saturday, PJ Media<\/a> posted an article about FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino’s reply to a New York Times article claiming that Trump\u2019s \u201cpoliticized FBI\u201d has \u201cmade Americans less safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino wrote a scathing response to the article, calling it \u201cprecisely why hard-working Americans simply do not trust the media.\u201d Bongino\u2019s tweet, which quickly gained traction online, took direct aim at what he described as a \u201cpoorly thought out hit piece\u201d that misrepresented the sweeping reforms he and Director Patel have implemented at the Bureau.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bongino\u2019s frustration was palpable as he laid out his case point by point, lambasting the Times for what he saw as a glaring lack of evidence to support their central claim. \u201cThe conclusion of the piece is so ridiculous that a child could debunk it,\u201d Bongino wrote. He noted that the article\u2019s authors \u201ccomically assert that you are \u2018less safe\u2019 because Kash and I have aggressively reformed the FBI. Yet, they produce NO evidence whatsoever to backup that claim. And the reason they don\u2019t produced any evidence, is because the numbers tell the opposite story.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Backing up his rebuttal with a barrage of statistics, Bongino offered a \u201csmall snippet of data points\u201d that he says prove the effectiveness of the FBI\u2019s new direction. Among the highlights, he touted the Bureau\u2019s violent crime initiative, \u201cSummer Heat,\u201d which he notes has the murder rate \u201ctrending to be the lowest in U.S. history by a longshot.\u201d He promised that \u201cSummer Heat is coming to a city or town near you soon as we assist your community in removing criminal predators from the streets.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bongino didn\u2019t stop there. He detailed that the FBI\u2019s renewed focus on violent crime has led to the arrest of 14,000 violent criminals\u2014a 62% increase from the same period last year. \u201cWe rescued over one hundred children from being preyed on, while arresting over 825 violent child predators, and 140 human traffickers,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s amazing how much the FBI can accomplish when it stops going after parents who attend school board meetings or attend the Catholic church.<\/p>\n

Just another reason not to trust the mainstream media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
