(American Political Report)—Criminals tend to search out information regarding their crimes on Google or other search engines. It’s a hilariously bad idea, of course, because it is often the most important evidence used to convict them.
The criminals in Washington DC aren’t searching for ways to commit their crimes. They’ve already committed them and are still committing them today, though many are trying to find an escape hatch from the DC Country Club that has allowed this for so long.
Since President Trump was inaugurated, a particular search term has spiked on Google. And with Elon Musk and DOGE uncovering corruption at breakneck speed, it seems the criminals are growing more concerned. We can see this in the spike of a certain search term in Washington DC.
As Polymarket noted from Google Trends:
Searches for “criminal defense attorney” surging in DC… can’t make this stuff up, folks.
The screenshot they provided was missing a bit of context so we did the search ourselves for the spike that began last month and continues today:
In the Washington DC region, Google Trends rates the search term as 100/100 which means a very high volume of searches. By comparison, the next closest region for the term, Nebraska, is at 32/100.
They know what they’ve done. They know that their reckoning is coming. DOGE is coming. Elon Musk is coming. Pam Bondi is coming.
Donald Trump is coming.
