The FBI Headquarters is leaving the J. Edgar Hoover Building on Pennsylvania Avenue in D.C., according to the bureau’s director, Kash Patel.

Patel, who made the announcement in a short clip Friday on Fox’s Mornings with Maria, called the building “unsafe for our workforce.”

The move would transfer 1,500 employees to various locations across the country.

The FBI has been weaponized against the American people. And now, the far left plans to move the HQ to Maryland, which is a far left enclave? No way!

There’s already a plan to move a fairly large group to Huntsville, AL at Redstone Arsenal where a new building is already awaiting. Doesn’t sound like the HQ is coming here, but maybe they’re spreading far and wide.

Seems like they're doing that. Of course you're not going to want to leave the Swamp. So you'll end up resigning.

Those 1500 employees need to be transferred to various federal prisons around the country.

All of them.

The J. Edgar Hoover Building is probably bugged up one wall and down the other. It’s obvious that the deep state has spyware every place. Trump team already found bugs in the Oval office.

Don’t move then anywhere they can swing a state to the left. That won’t happen in Maryland, which is already heavily left.

No, just no! It is high time DC area had a recession. DC produces nothing buy chaos. It is time to change the culture of the FBI. Move it to a red state. Hire local.

The FBI harassed Catholics, school board mom’s and J6’ers. The won’t swing Alabama red; most likely the FBI will become more fair.

I've always been curious why there was never any outcry to remove Hoover's name from the building.

He didn't like commies, didn't like gays, didn't like blacks, pretended the mob didn't exist, monitored Hollywood freaks and kept files on them. All the things the left hates.

Why wouldn't they demand his name be removed?

My theory is they did not because he was a big fan of government surveillance, monitoring, control, and secrecy ... their wheelhouse.

Am I wrong?

Scattering them seems good to me.

Relocate to Mojave desert in CA. A few hundred quonset huts
should do. Central lunch room.

A teachable moment my friends. Let’s look at the timing. The first 100 days belonged to Trump. Think the 80-20 issues he led off with. Now he’s on the international stage taking his show on the road. Now that he has cut off the head of the snake it’s time for the subordinates to step forward and show how they’re all ready for prime time. Awesome.

Can’t know who the traitors are just by looking at them, so Patel plans to take who he hopes are non-traitors to another location, and just leave the rest with makeshift (i.e., unimportant) tasks.
