Legislation Introduced Rejecting New FBI Headquarters

Daily Caller: Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and five other Republicans will introduce legislation Tuesday that calls for the House to halt all spending allocated towards the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) new headquarters outside the District of Columbia.

The Daily Caller first obtained the legislation, which is titled “The FBI Washington Field Office House Arrest Act.” In December 2022’s Omnibus package, when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House, Congress voted to allocate $375 Million for a new FBI headquarters. Gaetz and the GOP lawmakers do not believe it should be built.

There are reportedly three options for where the new FBI headquarters would be built: two in Maryland, and one in Virginia. MORE

  1. The first picture in my head, Matt goes outside to the House trash dumpster, he puts a sign on it that says,”FBI Headquarters, Do Don’t Work For You”, then lights it on fire. Of course, he calls the NY Post ahead of time to get their photographers on site.

    Digs is proportion to their usefulness.

  2. I suggest setting up a replacement FBI HQ in Point Lay, Alaska, using surplus U. S. Army tents. Move the senior hotshots there first.

  3. For most of my adult life, I have been told that The House appropriates money, they do the funding. So it’s only reasonable that they could also cut funding and this has been used as a Sword of Damocles, a threat if you will, to compel certain conduct or actions. To this day I have never seen that threat realized to any positive degree.

    Cutting their funding for their pretty building should only be a start. The time for grand gestures is over.

  4. Amazing, isn’t it,𝒞𝓇𝒶𝒸𝓀𝑒𝓇FJB𝒷𝒶𝒷𝓎 ? I was just telling Ian about our old test sets. 8455 Ballistic meters, 108 Testmasters, 76C sets…

    8455s were decent meters, but they stopped making the 45vt battery for them. The 108s had a 67.5vt battery, but the Testmaster people made a retrofit kit for them. A hell of a meter.

  5. Don’t mean to hijack the FBI scumbags, but the 108 was a Construction meter. But I tell you what, I found 99% of my cable faults with the Testmaster. It’s big, heavy, and it has a shit-ton of batteries in it… but it NEVER lied.

    Some shit you just needed the 965 TDR. But really using the 965 was co-witness. You knew the fault and just wanted a little better to the foot.

    All of this is becoming a lost art.

  6. A jail instead of the new building is not a bad idea. However, in these lean times, I suggest we adopt a methodology based on efficiency for dealing with these traitors.

    Yes, the single bullet efficiency. After an efficient trial of course with a time limit on it of 48 hours from arrest to trial and the trial itself having a time limit of, say oh, 20 minutes. After all we’ve got a lot of perps to process.

    We’ll save a ton on legal fees too.
