FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday announced plans to move the bureau out of its headquarters in Washington, D.C.
As part of the plan to vacate its headquarters in the J. Edgar Hoover Building, the bureau will transfer 1,500 employees to varying locations nationwide. The building, which is located on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, has served as the FBI’s headquarters since 1975.
“This FBI is leaving the Hoover building because this building is unsafe for our workforce,” Patel said during an appearance on Fox News. “We want the American men and women to know if you’re going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world,

“Look, the FBI is 38,000 when we are fully manned, which we are not. In the national capital region, in the 50-mile radius around Washington, DC, there were 11,000 FBI employees. That’s like a third of the workforce. A third of the crime doesn’t happen here,” Patel told Bartiromo."

The FBI is more then just Special Agents there are a ton of para-legals and secretaries and a labor force.
Many are now working in buildings being used by the FBI that are not the Hoover Bldg.
I cannot see the benefit of splitting up that labor force all around the country.
Send out the Agents and make room in the Hoover bldg. for people that are now working at other places in DC.
The expenses of these people moving to places they don't want to go is going to cost the FBI a lot of good employees.
Of course they can hire others in the new location, but then they have to be trained.
I don't see any benefit in this.

Load 'em up and move 'em out. Maybe a number of them will choose to resign.

No doubt the Democrats and RINOS want to retain control of the high mucky-mucks ensconced on 7th floor at FBI Headquarters. The way it looks they may have to wait over 3 1/2 years for that to happen again. So don’t be surprised if the Democrats and their RINOS buddies don’t swing into action through their “law fare” political game with some activist Democrat Federal Judge claiming that FBI Headquarters must stay in DC.

Kash is already spending his time on getting a new office and building. A building built in 1975 is NOT crumbling. The GSA has a huge inventory of unoccupied buildings in DC, as most federal workers are working from home. Use one of those. A new building for the FBI looks like all we are going to get from the new Director, as there has been little else accomplished at the FBI. We are told things are happening, and that we are just not seeing it. If I can't see it, it is not happening. If you can't see it, I don't see how it makes a difference.

It may help a bit to move a lot of folks away from the central infection of the Deep State, but I still believe that the concept of a federal Super Police is a fundamentally unworkable concept. Perhaps some lab services and liason functions need to be retained, but IMO, removing arrest powers and all weapons from FBI and changing the name to something like Federal Law Enforcement Assistance Services Department, while depending on state police agencies, with some lab and other communication and research assistance from the FLEAS would be a lot safer for the country in the long run.

1,500 is a drop in the bucket, it's certain not worth reporting. Patel was to clean out the ranks of the fbi and not spend money on a new building. We are trillions of dollars in the hole. There is an overabundance of office space everywhere. It seems to me that until the fbi gains the trust of the American people no new offices, and a serious reduction of costs. The people who brought us to this point, as far as the fbi goes, acted criminally. They are still running around poking us in the eyer. Those people facing justice would be a good start. They were spying on us, and I do include me in it, they need to face justice, etc.
It seems to me that spreading the fbi around the country is a good idea. There are crimes in places other than DC; although, the greatest crimes occur by many working there. For one thing, having all of government in one location is unfair to the rest of the country's economies. There is good reason to spread too because the government will be less chummy, including the justice system.

The FBI should be moved out of D.C. entirely. How about Wichita? Or Rapid City, SD? Or Kansas City, MO? They’re already sending a bunch of them to Huntsville, AL and that’s a good start.

When I hear that Director Patel is moving 1/3 of the FBI to office buildings in LA and San Francisco that front to streets full of homeless people taking drugs and defecating on the sidewalks, then I'll believe that he has the upper hand on the Deep State. So far, what I can see from the outside looking in is not encouraging...

Heres a slightly modified idea. Shut down the Hoover building and demolish it. Thats it. Thats the whole idea.

what is your damage, kash?? did you find your inner deep swamp? will it be the 'comey bldg' ?
there is no need for the j elegant maribou bldg-nor any of the criminals therein. if we wanted that done...
we could have done it ourselves,
hopefully without class action suits from the homeless addicts on the grates outside screaming
''hoover'' all day and evening.
the 1,500 jobs can be done better, cheaper --honestly, ethically and psychosis free-- by other people,
in other agencies, in other locales.
how about gitmo?

ps. thank you 7, 9-10.
every dogzairse and his uncle knows, hoover formed that part of the Swamp, and its power base,
w/ blackmail , dossiers, arranging coverups of serious crimes against citizens by agents.
and that was in his cinderella days.
sorry, even the OG's believe the current crop should be bagging groceries.
