The current HQ site is much too valuable to allow a few civil servants with personal vested interests to decide where it is situated. The claimed need to be close to DoJ is BS. I'm sure USPS would happily carry their mail.

Another article highlighting that the FBI top level wants to stay in DC https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md...c-headquaters/


Thinking impartially, I think it would be better that the headquarters stay in DC indeed, though I'm not sure how the logistics would work. If the build in the same place, it seems like it would be difficult to consolidate more employees and they'd have to move somewhere else for a few years. Plus, I thought part of the financing would be coming from that valuable piece of real estate

I'm not so sure staying in DC is necessary. COVID taught us all that remote conferencing, etc. Works. Other than being able to eat at fancy restaurants and hobnobbing, I don't see the point. Give that land to a developer so the city can get tax revenue.

If leadership wants to stay in DC, they can fit on one floor in some random old office building in N.E. DC and the rest of the workforce can work in the new building. lol.

As if that had anything to do with anything.

They can continue to sit tight.
What would it take to dislodge them? Who is interested in or gains from that happening?

Are we saying an agency can disregard an act of Congress? If Congress voted to move the FBI, what can the FBI leadership do? Quit? That would be quite drastic and unprofessional. Government employees are relocated all the time. What makes the FBI so special?

You'll be sure to let us all know when that happens though. Right?

Man, that's profound!

If Doug Jemal buys the building he won't be long getting them out.

Whoa. That was fast. My money is on Greenbelt. I mean NoVa just got Amazon. That's just too much winning if they got the FBI too. lol. But seriously, It makes the most sense as it did before Trump was in office. Now that there are solid plans for the redevelopment of Beltway Plaza and the explosion of development in College Park, I think there is an improved case for Greenbelt.

If selected, I think we'll see more development around that area in the years to come.
