SNIP Two billionaire New York City developers bidding to build a new headquarters for the FBI — maybe the largest government development since the CIA moved to Langley in Northern Virginia in 1961 — have deep ties with President-elect Donald Trump, whose victory injects new intrigue into the jockeying for the more than $2 billion project.END SNIP

And then there’s this wrinkle: The man who has lobbied hardest for a new campus, FBI Director James B. Comey, had his own role in the presidential campaign in publicly extending the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state less than two weeks before Election Day.

The billionaires are:
Steven Roth,
Larry Silverstein--Jesus not this guy again.

And of course, corrupt, violate the Hatch Act Jimmy Comey crawls out from under his rock

1. American Greed

2. Speechless

The Leviathan never stops growing

It's as bad as the tax code

7. Same here. Just... appalling.

3. Now everything is coming into focus!

4. Gold Diggers of 1933 - "We're in the Money"

"We've got a lot of what it takes to get along."

Look for Kellyanne Conway, starting at 1:38.

5. Where is my tinfoil? Seriously

6. I just realized last night, that the upper-class, by stealing this election,

has just won a HUGE battle in our class war. This one is going to hurt for some time to come.
We are definitely at war, but now it appears the upper class has Russia on their side.

8. The project needs to be stopped.

Why the hell do they need a new building? Screw the damn FBI.

11. Try to think beyond a single incident you find distasteful....

They do other things as well.

[LiberalFighter]

12. Hell no!

The FBI has too many failures.

9. If this is the way things will be run under a Trump Adminstration

it will drive taxpayers into the underground economy because they
won't want to be funding the largesse

It's like a banana republic's economy - underground activity, political
connections, capital flight, and black markets

10. Is it too much that the new FBI HQ will be riddled with problems?

Despite the fact that I'n a taxpayer who will help others pay for this, is it too much to hope that this new edifice will be riddled with structural and plumbing problems, foundation issues, wiring problems and all sorts of other little gifts that will keep on giving so that the Bureau will have reason to remember James Comey's legacy for decades to come?
