I understand that the White House has also been taken over. Could the FBI possibly repo the Oval Office?

The skyscraper, known as the Piaget building, was erected in the 1970s under the shah of Iran, who was overthrown in 1979. The tenants include law and investment firms and other businesses.

Go after the Saudis next. They are a far more pernicious influence in the USA.

Correct. However bigwigs in both parties are beholden to the Saudis. Good luck with government going after Saudi/Wahabbi assets.
