Trump puts $3.3 billion FBI headquarters proposal on hold

The Trump administration will not ask for additional funding for its $3.3 billion plan to tear down and rebuild the FBI headquarters in downtown Washington, a Justice Department official said Monday. Assistant Attorney General for Administration Lee Lofthus told reporters the administration will postpone seeking new money for the project while it confers with Congress on the proposal. Those discussions are ongoing, Mr. Lofthus said, noting the funding request is absent from President Trump’s fiscal year 2020 budget proposal. Last year, the administration sought nearly $2.2 billion for the project, which consists of tearing down the FBI building on Pennsylvania Avenue

Comments:

Why not simply tear it down, period? They cannot nail Hillary on thousands of slam-dunk felonies (nor Huma, nor Carlos Danger), but they gladly waste vast resources on purely partisan snipe hunts. Use the savings to build the wall and enforce the border, huge net win for the average American.

Move it to Detroit. Cheaper. Good for Detroit. Less crowding for DC.

And out of the beltway.

Does anyone care about the FBI, IRS or CIA at this point? Corrupt and working against us.
They will have a whole lot of work to do to get the trust of the public back. At least the sane public.

I think the $3.3 billion FBI new headquarters plan should be forever canceled. Trump should redirect that money to build the wall. It costs less to build a wall, than to pretend FBI agents follow terrorists around in this country, and monitor their activity, when really, all the FBI does is say they had them on radar, after they have killed us. And it is obvious that the FBI does not need a headquarters, and if they do, let the Democrat National Committee pay for it, as they seem to be the ones that have been using it.

Clever payback for an entire agency gone corrupt. They can rent office space in the southeast side of the city and park their cars on the street. See how that goes.

#3.3 billion will build a nice section of the wall.

Speaking of the IRS, I just finished struggling through my taxes today and am enjoying my annual foul mood. The taxes were much lower (thank you Mister President!) but the forms are still the same cryptic, accountant-designed monstrosities that they have always been. I think they try to confuse people and are paid by lobbyists for the tax-prep businesses.

Following up on #11 and #12, put the new FBI HQ in Juarez. The only people in this new FBI HQ should be the current inhabitants of the the 7th floor of the FBI building, of course.

A side benefit will be the FBI brass testing the next generation of bullet-proof vests for the military and other government law enforcement agencies.

Don´t spend money on a building when the FBI may not exist in a few years. Leave them in the old building-- it was built in 1972 can´t be in that bad a shape. The building is in better shape than the organization that´s for sure.

Aides to President Biden hurried the traveling press corps away as they shouted questions at an unresponsive commander-in-chief in Washington Tuesday—his 48th day in office without holding a solo press conference. The incident occurred toward the end of a visit by Biden to W.S. Jenks & Son, a hardware store in the nation’s capital that benefited from his temporary extension for smaller businesses of the Paycheck Protection Program. After quietly watching Biden interact with store owners and employees for about 10 minutes, reporters began shouting a series of questions at him to no avail. Immediately after, handlers for the 46th president began yelling

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
