Kash Patel: “And what we want to do is expand a little bit of footprint…”

“The reason we are able to technically relay information on a lifetime basis throughout the country and throughout the world is because of the Criminal Justice Information System hub in West Virginia and all its subordinate capabilities. And what we want to do is expand a little bit of footprint out there because we have so much land already paid for. And so yes, in my move to shift resources outside of Washington D.C. i would envision going more, not just to CJS, though the state of West Virginia would also receive a plus up of eight at least employees, should I get the budgetary requirements? And then you mentioned, and there is, there's a thousand acres out there at cedis. It's quite large. Is there additional resources that you need to be able to build out there at Sieges?” (1:42:13–1:42:37)
