Five EOP staff told us they observed damage, vandalism, or pranks in the White House complex when they worked there during past transitions. Regarding the 1993 transition, an EOP employee said that she observed five desks containing prank pictures of former Vice President Gore with written messages on them and a banner on a balcony. In addition, two EOP staff (a different employee for each of the following observations) said he or she observed 1 to 2 poster-sized signs, and 5 to 10 missing office signs. Another EOP employee showed us writing inside a desk that was dated January 1993. So putting up posters, writing inside desk drawers, and having pictures of Gore with messages on them are vandalism? I'm sorry, but this is not vandalism. Ridiculous claim. All this together could not possibly amount to $100 or more. Unplugging a fucking telephone cord? You call that "vandalism"? Your position is idiotic. This is how far you will go to try to justify CRIMES committed by the Clinton administration. NOT ONE of the items you mentioned would be considered criminal behavior. Anywhere. But the crimes committed by the leaving Clinton people are everywhere. We know of $15K or more in damages. I'm glad you finally tried to justify your claims. Your post is weak and idiotic. But if that's all you've got, you have to go with it. I know. Your claim is debunked.

The OA associate director for facilities management said that every transition has had a problem with missing historic doorknobs. The telephone service director said that telephone cords were unplugged and office signs were missing in previous transitions and that unplugging telephones is a “standard prank.” I'll tell you.....if I worked in the WH, I'd take one of the doorknobs and it wouldn't be a prank but rather a souvenir. There is no more unique place in this country than the WH.....who would not want a remembrance of their time there.
