The FBI is expanding.
The office reportedly plans to build a new headquarters that will be twice the size of the Pentagon.
This raises several obvious questions. Why do they need such a massive building? Are they growing their ranks to fill them? Should the American people be concerned about this?
In recent years, millions of Americans have come to see the FBI as a politicized agency that does the bidding of the Democratic Party.

From US size:
The planned new FBI headquarters is twice the size of the Pentagon
The federal government is moving forward with plans to build a new FBI headquarters complex twice the size of the Pentagon.
Built into the colossal new project are new regulations to ensure the FBI center will be aligned with diversity, equality, LGBTQ+ and climate change policy goals.
The plan, unveiled last September, has received little attention. For years, the FBI has been trying to vacate its current headquarters, a brutalist concrete bunker on stilts that occupies two city blocks between the White House and the Capitol.
Plans for the new FBI headquarters call for it to be built at one of three locations in suburban Virginia and Maryland. These places are large plots of 58, 61 and 80 hectares.
That means the new FBI headquarters complex would be at least twice the size of the Pentagon building. Covering about 29 acres plus a five-acre courtyard, the Pentagon was until recently the largest office building in the world.
The Kremlin in Moscow—a walled fortress containing the administrative offices of Russia’s central government, the official presidential residence, vast halls, an arsenal, a museum, four palaces, three cathedrals, and several churches—spans just over 66 hectares.
This news is more than a little creepy.
The Pentagon is the largest office building in the world. This will be bigger. And they will be watching you. https://t.co/2y3dO631cJ

The American people deserve transparency on this issue. The office operates with their tax dollars.
