Mikulski, Cardin, Hoyer, Edwards stand united behind proposed Greenbelt site as the best location For A New FBI headquarters

Mikulski, Cardin, Hoyer, Edwards stand united behind proposed Greenbelt site as the best location For A New FBI headquarters

Entire Maryland Congressional Delegation has voiced support for Prince George’s location; Sent joint letter to FBI Director and GSA Administrator

Prince George’s County Executive today submitted proposal for Greenbelt, MD location to meet GSA December 17 deadline

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Barbara A. Mikulski and Ben Cardin along with Representatives Steny Hoyer and Donna F. Edwards (all D-Md.) today voiced their continued strong support for a proposed site in Greenbelt, Maryland to serve as the future home of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).  As a leading candidate for the new location for the FBI headquarters, Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker today submitted a proposal to meet the GSA’s December 17 deadline.

“We stand firmly behind Prince George’s County as the right choice for the new headquarters of the FBI and support County Executive Baker’s proposal for the Greenbelt site. Prince George’s County has the ability to donate, at no cost to the federal government, the proposed location that meets the size requirements and is located directly adjacent to a Metro station,” Team Maryland said. “An honest analysis of the cost of operations, security, convenience of location for staff, transportation options, and the promotion of regional equity in federal facility distribution should make the proposed Greenbelt, Maryland site the choice location for FBI. 

This project would bring thousands of jobs to the County, boost our local economy and generate additional revenues for our community. As GSA continues to move forward with the process of selecting a site, we will be working closely together to advocate for bringing this project, and the new economic opportunities that will accompany it, to Prince George's County.”

Earlier this year, Senators Mikulski and Cardin along with the entire Maryland Congressional delegation, including Representatives Steny H. Hoyer, Elijah E. Cummings, Chris Van Hollen, C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, John P. Sarbanes, Donna F. Edwards, Andy Harris and John Delaney, sent a letter to the heads of the FBI and GSA that strongly support a site in Prince George’s County, Maryland, for the future home of the FBI. Their letter notes a Maryland state report that found 43 percent of FBI employees call Maryland home, more than any other jurisdiction. A copy of that letter is available here.

Russian Spy | Close to Obama Leadership | Anna Chapman | The Daily Caller

Russian Spy | Close to Obama Leadership | Anna Chapman | The Daily Caller:




by Sarah Hoffmann

"FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi told the BBC that in 2010, a Russian spy was getting too close for comfort with a sitting member of President Barack Obama’s cabinet. In an interview aired Monday night, Figliuzzi said that the spy was “closer and closer to higher and higher ranking leadership,” using a “honey trap,” until the FBI felt intervention was needed and a group of ten spies were arrested and deported.

Among the deportees was the red-haired Anna Chapman, portrayed in many media outlets as a seductive femme fatale. " ... http://dailycaller.com/2012/04/03/russian-spy-got-close-enough-to-obama-leadership/

Ronald Kessler - Newsmax.com: FBI and CIA Deserve Our Thanks as Much as Military

Ronald Kessler - Newsmax.com: FBI and CIA Deserve Our Thanks as Much as Military

FBI and CIA Deserve Our Thanks as Much as Military

His latest, "The Secrets of the FBI," has just been published. View his previous reports and get his dispatches sent to you free via email. Go Here Now.



Because of the terrorist threat, the FBI and CIA have become as important as the military in preserving our freedom. Yet while thanking our military is standard practice in American life, no one thinks of thanking the FBI, the CIA, or the rest of the intelligence community for keeping us safe since 9/11.

Instead, the media and many on the extreme left and extreme right demonize the men and women of those agencies for allegedly “spying on innocent Americans.”

Last year, two Washington Post reporters took two years to uncover this story: The intelligence community is big and secret and uses a lot of contractors. Presented as an exposé, the series, “Top Secret America,” found no abuse. Instead, it presented the conclusion that the intelligence community is a “hidden world” that is “growing beyond control.”

A front-page subhead read: “The government has built a national security and intelligence system so big, so complex and so hard to manage, no one really knows if it’s fulfilling its most important purpose: keeping citizens safe.”

In fact, the intelligence community has kept us safe since 9/11. But Dana Priest and William M. Arkin, who wrote the series, never mentioned that fact. If they had, the Washington Post series could not have run: It would have been exposed as bogus…http://www.newsmax.com/RonaldKessler/FBI-CIA-safe-terrorism/2011/11/23/id/418996

Most people do not draw a connection between these efforts by the intelligence community and the fact that there has not been a successful attack since 9/11. Rather, FBI agents are portrayed in the media as having nothing better to do than probe the library reading habits of innocent grandmothers. If FBI agents can’t be trusted to wiretap within the law, why trust them to carry weapons or make arrests?

Despite constant vilifying by the media and congressional threats to take away the tools needed to uncover plots, FBI agents and CIA officers work silently around the clock and risk their own lives to keep us safe. Most could be making far more money in the private sector.

Out of love of country, they continue on the job, making sure we do not again witness Americans hurling themselves out of the windows of skyscrapers to escape an inferno or children holding up photos of their parents, hoping they survived a horrific attack.

Let’s give thanks to these patriots who have successfully protected us, our families, and our friends for more than 10 years… http://www.newsmax.com/RonaldKessler/FBI-CIA-safe-terrorism/2011/11/23/id/418996
