One government entity is transferring land to another government entity.

How is this sketchy? Make it make sense

One government entity is the same as another, to you. All one and the same...

Can you please explain the supposed “shadiness”? I’m a DP and I don’t get it either.

Yeah, nothing fishy there…. 🙄

It’s literally the GSA’s job.

To overrule a board that includes GSA staff?

No. It is not.

How about the first time the board decided to go w/ Greenbelt? Was that shady too?

What’s even sketchier and funnier is that her new job is to work for Bowser to replace Falcaccio.

So she makes this decision and then immediately off ramps to DC government.

She better hope that she hasn’t done any sketchy things in the recent past or engage in any future sketchy behavior with developers on behalf of Bowser, because pissing off thousands of FBI agents doesn’t seem like a good idea unless you really are squeaky clean.

Political vengeance by individual FBI seems like a good reason to fire those agents. Do concepts like “probable cause” ring a bell?

It’s only bad if they don’t find anything. If they find something to indict her on, it doesn’t matter why they started looking at her because she would have then committed a crime.

That is really, really not how it works. Or, if that is how it works, we have a much bigger problem than where to put the new FBI headquarters.

If agents prefer to sit in traffic in Virginia and mess it up more for the rest of us, I am not impressed.

Wray's (+VA congressman and Senator) formal objection to the selection was on the evening news.

It's over.

I can't wait to see how much Nina got paid.

You think she was accepting Venmo?

However, given that wasn’t an option, Springfield was the clear preference.

There's a secret CIA building near the Springfield, VA site that would create a nightmare for security if construction broke ground. That was a deciding factor.

-I work for the Public Buildings Service

They can most certainly work out of Main Justice

Probably be years before anything happens

Greenbelt location is $1B cheaper to build. Sorry, but a cost differential like that is going to be the determinant.

But by all means cry harder about NoVA.

There’s room for 11,000 employees at Main Justice? Do tell.

Uh huh. Does that cost savings include the infrastructure requirements? Expanding the Wilson Bridge?

Anyway, all the criteria point towards Springfield. It was shenanigans that moved it to Greenbelt, not cost savings.

Who is crying? I don't prefer one place to another but I want what's best for the FBI. Not what's best for WMATA.

The Greenbelt site is shovel ready, the Springfield site will take years to become buildable.

The Wilson Bridge is brand new - why would it need to be expanded?
