What furniture? Don't you remember the Clintons absconding with whitehouse furniture when they left?

I have a quewstion. Why isn't there an investigation into the whereabouts of the hundreds of FBI files that the Clintons received on the Republicans in congress? Those were also classified documents, and have never been returned.
