As Kash Patel heads off to report to his handlers in Moscow and St Petersburg, an MS-Now review shows that criminal law enforcement cases have tumbled dramatically under his leadership at the FBI, and he has adulterated the FBI's records to cover this fact up. www.ms.now/news/crime-s...

Crime stats touted by Kash Patel are bolstered by arrests made by state and local agencies, not FBI

An analysis of publicly available data from the Justice Department shows repeated claims made by the FBI director are false or misleading.

Election Department policies require all Department officials to “enforce the laws...in a neutral and impartial manner” and to remain “particularly sensitive to safeguarding the Department’s reputation for fairness, neutrality, and nonpartisanship.” Various policies also address investigative activities timed to affect an election and require that prosecutors and agents consult with the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section (PIN) before taking overt investigative steps in advance of a primary or general election. No Department policy contains a specific prohibition on overt investigative steps within a particular period before an election. Nevertheless, various witnesses testified that the Department has a longstanding unwritten practice to avoid overt law enforcement and prosecutorial activities close to an election, typically within 60 or 90 days of Election Day. We discuss relevant Department policies and practices below.
