WASHINGTON—An unrelated measure tucked into the Republicans’ coronavirus relief proposal that would provide funding for the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s new headquarters has sparked opposition from Democrats—and some confusion among Republicans.
Democrats are raising questions about the inclusion in the roughly $1 trillion proposal, which was presented by Senate Republicans and White House officials, of $1.75 billion in funding to construct the new building in Washington. Some Democrats tied the White House’s efforts...
This is likely to pad contractors pockets more than concern over the FBI
Did someone say “pork”?
I think that a new building is a great idea. It needs to have all the technology features. Criminals are so ignorant these days. They agents should be comfortable waiting for Criminals to post their crimes. Respect law enforcement & the military. Without them its not safe.
To be clear: in a delayed and confused Republican pandemic relief bill 'someone' stuffed in money for a new FBI headquarters? We all look forward to the no doubt forthcoming WSJ Op/Ed on this egregious and shady activity. . .
bullish finish the game
Congress Racketeering... Does not write one subject Bill All Bills will have annexing... At the minimum 33.... Maximum 731...which Tax Payers pay for...
Nobody’s actually “confused” it’s just the best the small group of conservatives who aren’t 100% slavering trump hacks by now can claim to be in the face of something that is pure, uncut corruption
ummm hell no
Yea, “WTH are we shoehorning funds for a new FBI building into a packed to aimed at helping citizens, businesses, and schools weather a pandemic?” seems a reasonable reaction for any sensible adult human being.
The Hoover Building is old, decrepit, and falling apart. The new FBI building has been planned for a long, long time. Anyone criticizing this funding has obviously never seen the inside of the Hoover Building — our nation’s premier law enforcement agency deserves better.
