The FBI Washington Headquarters Won’t
Be Missed

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 5/19/2025 9:26:45 AM

Current FBI Director Kash Patel is closing down the agency’s Washington, DC, mothership office and moving at least 1,500 employees out of the DC area to regional offices. During the Biden Administration, it was determined that the 50-year-old Hoover building headquarters was structurally decrepit. More germanely, no prior FBI director had ever explained why nearly a third of the FBI workforce was centered in offices in Washington, far from where most of the serious crime in America occurs.

The new HQ's will likely be in Virginia. Don't be distracted by FBI agents being dispatched somewhere else. The FBI is getting a new HQ's, and taxpayers are footing the bill, even though the GSA says half the government buildings are unoccupied, because half the government workers are working from home. We certainly could not have the "premier law enforcement agency", so described by Patel, occupy one of those unoccupied buildings. No, a new one MUST be constructed for the "premier law enforcement agency", which in actuality, is the premier state police agency, focused primarily on political work.

FTA: “no prior FBI director had ever explained why nearly a third of the FBI workforce was centered in offices in Washington, far from where most of the serious crime in America occurs.” Author is not counting the illegal activities committed in the Capitol building.

The building should be used for a museum of government corruption. There would be plenty of exhibits to fill the building.

They can move them out of DC, but unless they get rid of the rot within, nothing will change.

They should move the FBI HQ to the middle of the USA, say to a cornfield in the middle of Kansas where purpose constructed buildings could be erected. In any case it will cost a lot of money to move 1500 career employees to wherever outside of DC.

A much more positive effect would come about if they tore it down while still occupied.

Move ‘em all. Wichita, or Kansas City, or Tulsa. Or how about Rapid City, SD? And move the USDA to Iowa and BLM back to Grand Junction. You can remove a lot of dead weight that way.

The J. Edgar Hoover Building will be torn down before it falls down. It's had screens around it for years to keep the falling concrete from hitting people in the street, the toilets don't work and the ceiling are falling. The contractors who built it got rich using bad cement in the construction.

"no prior FBI director had ever explained why nearly a third of the FBI workforce was centered in offices in Washington.." Mueller had a policy followed by other subsequent directors that all must spend time at the HQ. Thus it grew in size and they (Mueller et al) were able to instill the corrupt ideology of the FBI in all those that served in DC and who remained there.

No more than 10% of the FBI should be at HQ. And HQ should NOT be in DC. How about in Omaha, or Pierre? Maybe Great Bend, Kansas.

1. I thought PDJT said all the workers should return to the offices at a certain date, no more working from home in their pj's. 2. It concerns me to have FBI agents scattered across this country with their corrupt ideology. I think they will just scatter the stink.

Thank God I left The Episcopal Church. After decades of partnering with the U.S. government to serve refugees, The Episcopal Church ended the relationship this week, because the Trump administration asked them to serve refugees whose plight contradicts the woke Left’s grand narrative. Episcopal Migration Ministries had resettled almost 110,000 people across the U.S., and the church had touted its assistance to “undocumented immigrants”—read “illegal aliens”—but serving 59 desperate white South Africans who came to the U.S. legally was apparently a bridge too far.

Four months into his second term, President Trump faces a nation with no patience for excuses, only expectations: fix the economy, secure the border, and bring jobs back. According to a recent nationwide TIPP Poll, the economy tops the list of Americans' concerns, followed by immigration and trade. Inflation and food prices remain the top economic issues. While partisan divides persist, there's a shared urgency across the political spectrum for action on these pressing issues, which are likely to drive the 2026 midterm elections. Thirty-eight percent of Americans identify the economy as the country’s most pressing issue, followed by immigration and border security at 27 percent.
James Comey’s anti-Trump derangement

Former FBI Director James Comey’s anti-Trump derangement just hit a new #resistance-theater low with his post of a photograph of shells arranged to spell out “8647.” Short for: Kill the 47th president, Donald Trump. Comey’s Instagram post included the comment, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” but there’s no way he didn’t realize the meaning. Of course when the post blew up, Comey had the nerve to pretend he had no idea what it meant — though he did admit he thought it was “political,” so maybe he’s just confessing to being drug-addled or an idiot?

 James Comey dog-whistling his desire for President Donald Trump to be assassinated via a now-infamous “86 47” social media post — only to play dumb after well-deserved backlash — is a final befitting act by the disgraced former FBI director in his long-running campaign to destroy the president. Justice demands he answer for this outrageous act, particularly because the holier-than-thou G-man has to date completely skirted justice.

I hear almost daily from disgruntled liberals who wish President Donald Trump would die or face some other horrific misfortune (they wish the same for me, too). It’s easy to become numb to this inflammatory – and hysterical – rhetoric. Yet, when a former top U.S. law enforcement official enters the fray of such discourse, that’s another matter altogether. On May 15, former FBI Director James Comey posted a photo on Instagram that depicted the number “8647” fashioned with seashells. “Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey quipped. Not surprisingly, the now-deleted post created an immediate firestorm among conservatives and Trump administration officials.

Will the Supreme Court stop radicals in robes from subverting the president and imperiling the separation of powers via rule by universal injunction? Or will it continue allowing any one of 680 district court judges to nullify the votes of tens of millions of Americans by hamstringing the commander in chief with rulings infringing upon his powers to pursue policy and pick personnel? These questions loomed over the Supreme Court on Thursday, as justices heard oral arguments in cases challenging the president’s executive order curtailing birthright citizenship. Those arguments suggest we could be looking at a 5-4 decision hinging on Chief Justice John Roberts — one that could make or break Trump’s

Pundits are confused about what to make of the first 100 days of the second Trump administration. Supporters talk of "flooding the zone," believing President Donald Trump is making so many changes so quickly that his opposition is reduced to deer-in-the-headlights infancy. They must be right when the nation suffers daily Democratic pottymouth videos, vandalism of Teslas, infantile meltdowns at congressional witnesses, rioting against federal agents to protect illegal alien felons, protesting on behalf of women beaters, M-13 gangbangers, human traffickers, and assaulters, and visa-holding violent students praising Hamas terrorists.

President Trump wished Biden well after revelations of his advanced prostate cancer. That’s fine. Trump is actually a very magnanimous fellow. What’s not fine are the talking heads concocting a false reality about Biden. Here are two of the talking points reverberating around the media eco-chambers: he is a decent man and a longtime public servant. In many quarters, it is considered improper and unenlightened to talk ill of the dead. Though Biden is not quite there, yet, it may also be considered churlish to talk ill of the ill. Rather than stumble over themselves conjuring a false image of a decent public servant,

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday gave the Trump administration the green light to revoke special legal protections for thousands of Venezuelan immigrants, which could pave the way for them to be deported. The high court granted an emergency application filed by the administration, meaning officials can move forward with reversing a decision made at the tail end of the Biden administration to extend protections for more than 300,000 Venezuelans under the federal Temporary Protected Status program. The brief order noted that liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the application. Litigation will now continue in lower courts.
