“I think there are enough Republicans who don’t want to put the safety of the men and women of the FBI at risk,” [Maryland Senator Chris] Van Hollen said. “The reason that the three prior sites were under consideration was because they all met the security and setback requirements to ensure the safety of the men and women at the FBI. It was determined years ago that in order to ensure their safety now into the future, you needed a campus like the CIA has at Langley, like the NSA has out at Fort Meade.”See the WTOP news story here, Maryland delegation vows to fight FBI’s move to new DC location ‘with every tool we have’
So long as the physical security interests of the FBI align with the financial interests of Maryland political players, we can depend on having some elected officials taking up the security banner. So public spirited of them!
Well played, Van Hollen. There is a whole lot of development money in this pot, and the security card might just be a winning hand.
Virginia Senator Mark Warner, how are you going to come back from this?

Thanks for both of those! What a surprise it was to me that a fellow Gringo wrote Across the Borderline.
I have been to Walla Walla Washington! https://youtu.be/Aak914x7RcA?feature=shared
You've got the advantage of me, then. Closest I've been is Portland, OR.
It gives you a certain aura!
That aura was the smell of burning weed, the chronic, the Devil's lettuce. But I have to admit I liked the place. There was hardly any street crime (at that time, several years ago) or vandalism, public rowdiness, etc. I've got a soft spot for the old hippie vibe, plus it made me appreciate that comedy show Portlandia.
In Texas it was called burning a trash fire. I gave up my wayward ways 25 yrs ago, but I enjoyed them thoroughly!
In the 70's old hippies went to Paonia to die, now they go there to go bald gow a rattail, and pot belly.
The old hippie vibe was kinda good
