WASHINGTON, June 11— The General Accounting Office, an investigative arm of Congress, said today that ''damage, theft, vandalism and pranks did occur in the White House complex'' in the presidential transition from Bill Clinton to George W. Bush. The agency put the cost at $13,000 to $14,000, including $4,850 to replace computer keyboards, many with damaged or missing W keys.
Some of the damage, it said, was clearly intentional. Glue was smeared on desk drawers. Messages disparaging President Bush were left on signs and in telephone voice mail. A few of the messages used profane or obscene language.
''A Secret Service report documented the theft of a presidential seal that was 12 inches in diameter from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building,'' next to the White House, on Jan. 19, 2001, the accounting office said.
Six White House employees told investigators that they had seen graffiti derogatory to Mr. Bush on the wall of a stall in a men's room. Other White House employees saw a sticker in a filing cabinet that said, ''Jail to the thief,'' implying that Mr. Bush had stolen the 2000 election. The report said all these employees were members of the current White House, but did not make clear whether any had also worked in the Clinton White House.

Ahh, memories. Seems like just yesterday!
Check under the wookie’s dress, dont want to be them
The Clintons removing public items from the White House is not in dispute...they had to return many $ worth.
We knew it would happen...enough to call it:
“Count The Silverware Inaugural Ball!”
Named during the re-count when we knew Bush would win and the planning went into High Gear.
Young people have to be taught the many Clinton crimes even if we hate to re-visit them. They deserve to be warned!
Pork for dinner. Bacon for breakfast. Ham salad for lunch.
I wonder what will happen when Imam Obama leaves the Executive Mansion?
Send this to Trump in a tweet. It would be nice to have him ask Hill if she’s gonna ever give the stuff she “borrowed” back, or even just ask “Why did you condone this behavior?” Talk about “presidential.”
Dey jus sew lusers. Just think how the current resident’s people people will leave things. I shudder to think.
We know how honest Weiner turned out to be.

Every time I see oblammer ears I’m reminded of “Chimpy” Bush whose ears were actually quite flat when not photo shopped.
Of course calling attention to who the real chimp is would of course be ray-sessss.
$4,850 for 62 keyboards?
Were they gold plated?
Are they the same people that populate protests of World Bank, BLM, 1%er and recently the Trump protest in Chicago?
The whole place, from top to bottom, will need to be searched for electronic bugs. Then, they need to steam clean every square inch of the place...twice!
It totally enraged me, as it did most patriots.
Good that there's an internet now.
At the time there was only Rush as a source for conservative info.
Otherwise it might have never seen the light of day.
What will happen is a Great Rejoicing Will Be Heard Throughout The Land.
Yeah, just noticed.
Which pales in comparison to the damage done by the Obama’s.
That's why I made certain to mention just after the title that it was a historical reference -and just consider; everyone who reads about it can easily imagine Mrs. Bill doing exactly that and so much worse.
I think the eco-wankers and glo-bull warming opportunists would have had the rest of us by the short-shorts! For years!
I think that if a Republican such as Trump or Cruz move into the WH, Air Force One, etc. they need to have it all swept for bombs, germs, chemicals, bugging devices and any other possible threats. I wouldn’t trust this man and his ilk to do just about anything. Especially anything that can be activated when convenient for the timing of the leftist.
I’m not surprised. BJ is reputed to be quite charming, despite his having the morals of an islamist at a nudist retreat.
I remember several people over the years remarking how the experiences of dealing with the clintonistas left them deeply offended and more accepting of what we conservatives have been pointing out about them since day one.
