The FBI Washington Headquarters Won’t Be Missed

Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness

Most of the FBI scandals of the last decade were born in the Hoover building headquarters,

suggesting that the agency had long become top-heavy, politically weaponized, and deeply embedded. The list of ethical, moral, and legal misadventures at the top-heavy Washington FBI office could be easily expanded. But suffice to say, the closure of the J. Edgar Hoover building is welcome news. Hopefully, this historic closure will also mark the end of the most sordid and decade-long chapter in the history of a once-great agency.
