> I hope Kash is moving to a vacant Federal office building. <

Yep. No more unnecessary spending. And that includes constructing an expensive new building just because.

The FBI building is inefficient and poorly designed by today’s standards. In addition, the HVAC and elevators have to be replaced, the location has poor security, and structural repairs are needed.

“From his first day on the job he should have emptied that building and put yellow tape around it.”

What would be the purpose in that?

It would be to secure the demolition cables prior to controlled explosion of the entire building and contents.

I thought Trump said something about moving a lot of agents to Alabama. New HQ there?

The FIB needs to check itself into Gitmo.

> When will Patel start making some announcements about holding people in his agency accountable?<

You need to follow the news a little more closely. Eight top people were fired for their involvement in J6 prosecutions and 1500 will be relocated in the restructuring.

“The FBI wants a new headquarters in Maryland. “

Bigger than the Pentagon.

In the long term, better more agents out of DC. In the short term, good for the FBI to move into existing space than building a new headquarters.

Move their dramatically downsized and simplified HQ to rural Wyoming.

“He should really be asking you what your timeline is.”

**********

Recall that it is Trump himself who raised our expectations about accountability. Drain the Swamp don’t you know. And since he has but four years (actually a lot less than that given political cycles and potential swings in power) the reality you’re not seeing is that Trump’s team doesn’t have a lot of time to waste. That’s why they are all moving in blitzkreig fashion, except notably his sluggish DOJ and FBI. They seem to be more about PR than anything else.

I had suggest rural Wyoming, but I like your suggestion of rural Alaska even better.

The Ship of State moves slowly, it may very well be the case that all Trump can do is to at least get the ship pointed in the right direction.

Firings and relocations are largely symbolic. When are the indictments coming?

That building has got to have one of the most complex basements ever built. For the first 2-3 years, the site was nothing but a three storey deep hole in the ground That’s how long it took them to get to street level. I remember that there were tunnels running off in every direction.
The biggest effect of the construction was the fact that the peep shows on 9th Street had to close.

It’s a good thing people like you aren’t running things. You chowder heads would rush things and screw up any chance of prosecuting anyone.

Haste makes waste. Ever hear that one?
