WHERE WILL AINSLEY HAYES WORK?
The list includes the headquarters of the FBI, the DOJ, the USDA, HUD, HHS, DOL, DOE, FAA, GSA, FTC, State, ACF, and the VA. It also includes the Court of Military Appeals, the building housing the DC Public Defender Service, the Diplomacy Museum, and the literal goddamn steam tunnels.
