Could the Rocket City be the new home of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s national headquarters? That’s a plan Republicans on Capitol Hill are pursuing, according to The Wall Street Journal. The FBI is building what’s unofficially been described as a second headquarters at Redstone Arsenal. In a statement to The Wall Street Journal, the FBI said its Huntsville campus couldn’t accommodate the minimum of 8,500 employees planned to occupy the new headquarters in Washington. The Journal reports that Jordan argues investigators would be less likely to be infected by “liberal politics” if the bureau was located in right-leaning Alabama.
