WHITE HOUSE TRASHING: BUSH ORDERS 'NO PROSECUTIONS'; DAMAGE ESTIMATES TOP $200,000 Exclusive President Bush told senior advisers on Thursday that he would not be inclined to order any prosecution for acts of vandalism and destruction of federal property caused by previous tenants at the White House, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. The damage to White House facilities is now estimated to top $200,000, according to insiders, with senior staffers now expressing concern that computer viruses may have been planted by bitter Clinton/Gore workers. "We have reason to believe that some computers may have been infected," said a White House source. The source indicates that new computers will likely be purchased for incoming staff. The DRUDGE REPORT on Wednesday published details of the alleged damage to the White House compound. Harriet Miers, long time associate and assistant to President Bush, was tapped to investigate possible legal ramifications of the trashing. The damage left by departing Clintonites goes "way beyond pranks, to vandalism", said a close Bush adviser. The message "Bush Licker" written in magic marker was left in one hallway, according to an insider. New White House press spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters that officials were "cataloging that which took place." When asked to describe what was done, Fleischer moved into spin cycle: "I choose not to describe what acts were done that we found upon arrival because I think that's part of changing the tone in Washington. I think it would be easy for us to reflect and to discuss these things and to be critical. President Bush chooses to set a different tone. The president understands that transitions can be times of difficulty and strong emotion. And he's going to approach it in that vein." Developing... drudgereport.com
