New FBI Headquarters Is a Slap in the Face to Democrats

[excalibur]

I love it!

This is what I voted for.

And please tear down that ugly J Edgar Hoover building.

The FBI will relocate its moth-eaten headquarters from the Hoover Building to the Ronald Reagan Building downtown after USAID vacated the complex, officials announced Tuesday.

The shuffle caps nearly 20 years of bureaucratic waffling over where to park the nation’s premier law enforcement agency. By opting for a ready-made federal property — freshly emptied when the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) officially shuttered operations Tuesday — the Trump administration says it will save taxpayers billions while giving agents a secure, modern workplace.

“We are ushering FBI Headquarters into a new era and providing our agents of justice a safer place to work,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a press release. “Moving to the Ronald Reagan Building is the most cost effective and resource efficient way to carry out our mission to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution.”

General Services Administration (GSA) Acting Administrator Stephen Ehikian, whose agency manages the federal real estate portfolio, said the Hoover Building “has accumulated years of deferred maintenance, suffering from an aging water system to concrete following off the structure.”

USAID’s exit made the move possible. The development agency had been headquartered in the Reagan complex since 1998 but was stripped of its lease in February, according to multiple reports. Rubio confirmed the broader shutdown Tuesday, writing that USAID “will officially cease to implement foreign assistance” as its functions fold into the State Department.

The Reagan Building already houses U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB) and several private tenants. GSA says it will “work with CBP and their agency partners to fulfill their mission while the transition of the FBI to the Reagan Building commences.”

Officials have not released a firm timetable for the relocation.What happens to the hulking brutalist Hoover block remains unclear. GSA has yet to announce whether it will pursue demolition, redevelopment or sale. Neither the GSA nor the FBI immediately responded to requests for comment.​

Even if that were a correct assessment, it is one you are incapable of accurately or usefully making .

But far worse ,
it has nothing to do with the HQ changing its location .

P.S.
Calling me a rude name which so obviously fits you perfectly and so much better, is just you opening yourself to more ridicule .
You have publicly shown yourself to be a Dumb Ass when you stupidly imagined your ill considered twaddle showed the opposite .
You will have to Up Your Game 100% before trying to be a successful smart arse when I am around .

They should retrofit the Hoover Bld. to house criminal illegal aliens waiting for deportation and maybe call it the Ghetto Guardhouse. They should also house all the suspected FBI leakers and the politicians who are convicted of attacking ICE agents.

lovely idea, will never happen though, the hoover building would take $$$$ to turn into a bunkhouse for illegals, do you want to spend more money? I don't think our government really does

Democrats wanted to spend $3.5b on a new building, Trump only needs $200m or so to move the FBI to the Reagan Building, so your comment is a lie.

The FBI needs downsizing, not $3.5 billion for a new headquarters

Lawmakers from Maryland and Virginia fought over which state should house the new site rather than whether the bureau even needs so many agents.

So Trump fires people to save $$$, then moves them to a newer building?

You need to up your IQ points.

LOL....The Reps & Senators from metro MD are pissed.



On Tuesday, U.S. On Tuesday, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen and Representative Steny Hoyer, along with Governor Wes Moore, Senator Angela Alsobrooks and Representatives Glenn Ivey, Kweisi Mfume, Jamie Raskin, Sarah Elfreth, and Johnny Olszewski (all D-Md.), and Prince George’s County Executive Aisha N. Braveboy released the following statement regarding the Administration’s attempt to reprogram funding intended for the new FBI Headquarters in Greenbelt, Md.

“The FBI deserves a headquarters that meets their security and mission needs – and following an extensive, thorough, and transparent process, Greenbelt, Maryland, was selected as the site that best meets those requirements. Not only was this decision final, the Congress appropriated funds specifically for the purpose of the new, consolidated campus to be built in Maryland. Now the Administration is attempting to redirect those funds – both undermining Congressional intent and dealing a blow to the men and women of the FBI – since we know that a headquarters located within the District would not satisfy their security needs. Simply moving down the street would ignore the real threats the Bureau faces and further jeopardize the safety of those protecting our communities. That’s why we will be fighting back against this proposal with every tool we have.”





This news comes after the agency announced it would be moving to Greenbelt, Maryland, in 2023, after years of searching for a new building.

They could just stay at the Hoover building.

Trump canceled everything else Biden did.

Sounds to me like you are the one with too many dead brain cells....Or just a low IQ.

The Greenbelt, MD building was to cost around 3 billion, not counting the inevitable overruns due to union labor/minority contracting that was going to be required.

The retrofit of the USAID building is around 200M.....With open contract bidding.

Many agents and some of the sub-departments within the agency have been moved out of the DC Metro area too.

In the next three to nine months, 1,500 FBI employees will be moved outside of the National Capital Region, Patel told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo, saying that about 11,000 employees, or a third of the bureau's total workforce, are currently assigned in and around D.C.

“A third of the crime doesn’t happen here, so we’re taking 1,500 of those folks and moving them out,” he said. “Every state is getting a plus up.”

FBI to reassign 1,500 employees outside of D.C. area, vacate current HQ, Patel says

Sounds like you're dumber than Trump, of course you are.

Your babble means nothing.

The FBI doesn't have to MOVE at all.

good, who wants to work in an old run down building? short move, should not take them too long to set up shop

Tell that to Donald Trump.

He was the one who blocked the relocation of the FBI in 2017, because he feared that if a prime parcel near the Federalcteiangle became available, it might hurt business at his hotel on the Old PostOffice (kickback and baksheesh central).

A new site was chosen in Beltsville and the design work was underway. That money is now all wasted.

Oh, the Reagan building is closing in on 40 years old.

So where do you come up with he $3 billion Vs $200 million numbers, as neither is mentioned in your llink.

And what is this about imaginary “open contracting”.

Find it yourself and prove me wrong.

Quit being a lazy leftist.
