The F.B.I. director Kash Patel told bureau officials on Friday that he wanted to send 1,000 agents from the Washington area to field offices across the country, with another 500 support staff reassigned to the bureau’s sprawling campus in Alabama, people familiar with the matter said.
...In a statement, the F.B.I. said: “Director Patel has made clear his promise to the American public that F.B.I. agents will be in communities focused on combating violent crime. He has directed F.B.I. leadership to implement a plan to put this promise into action.”
...“I’d shut down the F.B.I. Hoover Building on Day 1 and reopen it the next day as a museum of the ‘deep state,’” Mr. Patel said on the podcast “The Shawn Ryan Show.” “Then, I’d take the 7,000 employees that work in that building and send them across America to chase down criminals. Go be cops. You’re cops — go be cops.”
...At his Senate confirmation hearing, Mr. Patel sought to explain his pledge to drastically overhaul the bureau. He said that there were about 11,000 F.B.I. employees out of around 38,000 working in the Capitol and surrounding areas like Quantico, Va., where the bureau’s training academy is based.
...“I will do that over and over and over again because the American people deserve the resources, not in Washington, D.C., but in the rest of the country,” he told senators last month.

Agree...
It’s that insular D.C. concentration that builds and sustains the Deep State.
Oh man, President Trump has really set the tone for rubbing it in. They're all doing it.
Don't stop until you start to see tumbleweeds tumbling down Pennsylvania Avenue.
How about a large Western field office in Provo, Utah, or Cheyenne, Wyoming?
Close down the Hoover Building in D.C., and turn it into luxury condos.
Send a bunch of them to Attu Island. Keep an eye on illegal salmon poaching by the Russkies.
So I guess that fancy new FBI HQ building is...on hold?
THIS is exactly what I had hoped for DIVIDE AND CONQUER!!!
Kash said he wanted to turn it into the "Museum of the Deep State"
They need to fired.
my bet is if you spread the dc bureaucracy out to these places a lot of the one allowing their politics to dictate actions will Quit or be fired with cause over time.
The Hoover Building and probably their outpost at Quantico need to be quarantined because they are crime scenes.
I would bet that emails are being searched for evidence of undermining 45. I would guess there are agents who are filling their drawers, darn well known the s*** is gonna hit the fan.
“Send a bunch of them to Attu Island. Keep an eye on illegal salmon poaching by the Russkies.”
Japan has been trying to rcover their war dead for some decades. They can help there.
How about Point Barrow, Alaska?
I don’t know why the New Yawk Slimes doesn’t move its boneheads into pup tents.
