Trump puts $3.3 billion FBI headquarters proposal on hold
Washington Times, Mar 11, 2019

The Trump administration will not ask for additional funding for its $3.3 billion plan to tear down and rebuild the FBI headquarters in downtown Washington, a Justice Department official said Monday.

Assistant Attorney General for Administration Lee Lofthus told reporters the administration will postpone seeking new money for the project while it confers with Congress on the proposal.

Those discussions are ongoing, Mr. Lofthus said, noting the funding request is absent from President Trump’s fiscal year 2020 budget proposal.

Last year, the administration sought nearly $2.2 billion for the project, which consists of tearing down the FBI building on Pennsylvania Avenue and replacing it with a modern facility on the same location.

Move it to Minnesota's 5th congressional district.  Not only is it cheaper and out of Washington --- they can keep an eye on things there.

I have a better idea.  End the FBI and fold their duties into Homeland Security.  Rift everyone above first level supervision, that way all the traitors who held power are gone.  You think it was only the handful that have been revealed that attempted a coup against an elected president?  End the disgraced agency, and attribute the end to the likes of Comey and Mueller.
