    Graffiti was painted on the walls of the White House, damaged computers, and pornography was left on tax payer computers? Did I read that right? If true, what is wrong with these people?

    From the GAO report:

    The agency put the cost at $13,000 to $14,000,
    The accounting office said similar pranks were reported in prior transitions, including the one from Mr. Bush's father to Mr. Clinton in 1993. ''We were unable to conclude,'' it said, ''whether the 2001 transition was worse than previous ones.''
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    If Bubba and Monica were getting their freak on around WH computers, I'd be begging them to get rid of those computers instead of insisting that they remain on site.

    If true, Too bad the government can’t be more frugal with taxpayers’ money on usual stuff.
    How about their $190,000 in “gifts” to the WHITE HOUSE not to them.

    Apparently one of the laws that Trump may be charged with pertaining to this raid was increased to a felony in 2018 by a bill he signed into law. Life comes at you fast sometimes.

    Well thank goodness they are just thieves and not vandals...oh wait

    The Clinton's were definitely smarter when it came to stealing and destroying classified documents. They had Sandy Berger do the heavy lifting on that one.

    Wonder how long before someone gets it with a FOIA request...if that's even possible.
    I think it was one of his judges that approved the warrant, but not positive.
    It was MAGISTRATE Judge Reinhart. Not even a FEDERAL judge, who you would imagine being the go to in such a high profile case like this.
    Sorry to burst your delusional bubble.
    Reinhart is a credible federal magistrate judge. He's respected in the southern district. It's logical that the warrant was on his desk. But he has also posted disparaging things about Trump in the past on social media so not exactly unbiased. I suppose that they just keep digging around the legal system to find some dude who’ll give them what they want unquestioned. (See my prior “Ham Sandwich” quote)
    Also, he is a Democratic donor and he made a dumb decision to represent the Epstein people.
    Nah. Not one of HIS judges by a long shot.
