The FBI Needs Downsizing, Not $3.5 Billion for a New Headquarters
This week, after more than a decade of debate, government officials chose a location for a new FBI headquarters, replacing the J. Edgar Hoover Building that has stood in downtown Washington, D.C., since the 1970s. The new building, which will be located in Maryland, will be able to accommodate thousands of agents and is expected to cost billions.

That vote had absolutely nothing to do with the release of the arrests for organized sex trafficking to politicians and military leadership. Nothing. They are completely unrelated.

Come on, Anon You believe Bill Clinton and Obama's chef?
DeleteTheir current headquarters fits them perfectly. Crumbling, failing and pieces falling off onto the sidewalk.

As for location, my I suggest Fargo ND. Not only cheaper to acquire, but much smaller as few beltway bums would relocate.

What about Washington state, right next to mount Saint Helens?
DeleteFargo ND has the added benefit of being fucking cold in the wintertime.
DeleteJesus christ. 3.5 billion
ReplyDeleteIt’ll be 7 bill before it’s done.
Mark. My. Words.
What a waste of money.
We're being gaslighted into believing it will only be $300 mil.
DeleteThis article names the names. Is your congressman on it? Mine is. What a squish.

Kevin McCarthy and Dan Crenshaw didn't vote. That pretty much says it all.
My Congressman, David Kustoff, of Tennessee for one.
DeleteJust as well; I was tired of voting for him and waiting for him to do something, anything.
$3.5 Billion is just for the logo laser cut into 11 types of granite for the lobby floor.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's Christopher Wray's 9000 square foot mahogany paneled suite of offices. But he's worth it. He works so hard in protecting the American people from the threat of Right-Wing Extremists that want to Make America Great Again. The dirty bastards.
DeleteJust remember who appointed Wray....
DeleteWhose advice was he relying on?
Deleteq -- why move out of DC?
ReplyDeletea -- they are terrorfied of the DC diversity.
well , the FBI was a bunch of lying scum back when J.Edgar was in charge ,what would make anyone think the organization has improved any in the ensuing decades ?
