Something sketchy built into or under the Hoover building, anons?

Possible connection between Comey's brother redesigning FBI HQ while he was director and POTUS wanting a totally NEW FBI HQ? Seems to be a contradiction, is it safe now or not?

"Peter Comey redesigned the FBI building. "Well, that is interesting. "FBI Director James Comey grew up in the New Jersey suburbs with his brother Peter. "Anyway, interesting. How about that. Peter Comey redesigned the FBI building, according to the article. "Procon Consulting’s client list includes ‘FBI Headquarters, Washington, D.C.’ "So what did Procon Consulting do for FBI headquarters? Quite a bit, apparently. According to the firm’s records: Procon provided strategic project management for the consolidation of over 11,000 FBI personnel into one, high security, facility."

Why Does Trump Want a New FBI Headquarters?

The president’s proposal would leave the bureau with a more expensive, less secure facility. Who benefits?

July 30, 2020, 8:00 AM EDT

Amid the $1 trillion in new spending Republicans offered in their coronavirus stimulus package this week was an oddity: In addition to funding for unemployment insurance and small-business loans, the proposal would appropriate $1.75 billion to build a new headquarters for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington. Asked why such a measure was included in a pandemic-relief bill, Republican senators suffered a collective loss of memory.

It was included because the White House insisted. Since taking office, President Donald Trump has expressed a keen interest in the FBI’s accommodations. In 2017, his administration scrapped a plan to move the headquarters to a campus in Maryland or Virginia, and then proposed a new building on the existing site.

By all accounts, the bureau’s current headquarters — the J. Edgar Hoover building on Pennsylvania Avenue — isn’t the answer. A report in 2011 found that it was deteriorating, inadequate for the bureau’s staffing needs, and, for a variety of reasons, a security risk. It’s also hideous, by the way.

Thank you, lurkeranon! o7

>Wish I could help bake

If you're meant to pick it up, you will. Was still in my probationary lurking period on halfchan when Q came, so I didn't do a head dive right away myself. Then something clicked and 3 years later, I'm still here kek.

>without a n00b mucking things up worse

>Too bad you cannot take away access

Don't worry, baker problems have existed since the start for one reason or another, but we always overcame somehow. Part of the reason we jumped boards several times. You're right though, things are crazy in a scary good way. If that was the goal, then we're heeeeeere.

Could probably make the argument to downsize and absorb it into DOJ, but I might get the black vans in front of my house at dawn kek.

But she supposedly iced Brennan when he was writing his book:

>In January of this year, Brennan says, he wrote to the current CIA director, Gina Haspel, after learning about the president’s order to keep him from receiving classified information. “It is impossible to avoid the conclusion that the Agency’s refusal to grant my request reflects the current administration’s desire to punish and retaliate against me for speaking out as a private citizen — an abuse of power designed to chill the exercise of my First Amendment rights,” he argued.

>Brennan says Haspel never responded to his letter or contacted him to discuss the situation, a silence he found “very disappointing” given their years working together at the CIA.

>“So much for my fervent hope that interactions with my successors would be unencumbered by Washington’s partisan waters,” Brennan writes, in a dig at Haspel, who current and former officials say has made it her practice to stay on Trump’s good side.

>The CIA declined to comment on Brennan’s book or the president’s directive.

Most of the dough is fine…only major concern I've had is GMT anon not posting graphic updates lately. Baker drama seemed to piss anon off bc bakers wouldn't include the links as asked. Now /comms/ is a mess, the last full graphic never even made it over there into the usual archive bread.

>That is why /comms/ was created, to be able to talk about baking without the interference of him and his staff.

>2019

You must be new here.

There were tutorial graphics (I'd have to find them). So most anons just used those to bake practice breads on /comms/ before doing it for real here. While BO on /comms/ just kept supplemental archives of important or popular shit and notables in pinned breads for safekeeping. That board was never so cluttered as it is now.
