349 NEW: Rep. Matt Gaetz makes a stand, denying the FBI a luxurious $300M for a new HQ “… they're literally asking for something that is larger than the Pentagon,” Gaetz stated. His refusal is grounded in the agency’s track record of launching investigations into citizens’ protected speech.

300mm dollars for a building bigger than the Pentagon is pretty cheap. Just the IT infrastructure in the NGAs new building was a billion dollars.
Don’t worry, there will be cost over runs.
The initial plans don't have the costs of the toilets rolled into them which are $60,000 each so the budget is very flexible.
The NGA East HQ contract was 1.7B alone 10 years ago.

I just realized that the price would be about right for a concrete building with nothing but steel bars on the interior.
