New FBI Director Kash Patel has told senior officials that he plans to relocate 1,000 employees at FBI headquarters to field offices around the country and move an additional 500 to a bureau facility in Huntsville, Alabama, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions.
The plans were communicated Friday, the same day Patel was sworn in at the White House. They reflect his long-stated determination to reduce the FBI’s footprint in Washington and have more of a presence in offices in other cities.
Nothing says "let's save government money" like spending several million bucks to relocate employees and their families for some bullshit half-baked political reasons. This could be the dumbest move since Chimpy started the process to close the Plum Island research facility.
The FBI is not recognized by the constitution. Getting them out of DC is a good idea. They should not be that close as to not be influenced by either party.
