Clintons Began Taking White House Property a Year Ago [stole $28,500 of White House property](2001)
Los Angeles Times ^ | February 10, 2001

WASHINGTON — President Clinton and his wife started shipping White House furniture to the Clintons' newly purchased home in New York more than a year ago, despite questions at the time by the White House chief usher about whether they were entitled to remove the items.

The day before the items were shipped out, chief usher Gary Walters said he questioned whether the Clintons should be taking the furnishings because he believed they were government property donated as part of a White House redecoration project in 1993, during Clinton's first year in office.

This week, they agreed to return another set of gifts, including the four items questioned by Walters, and $28,500 more in furnishings identified by the Washington Post this week as having been legally designated as White House property by the National Park Service.

I remember it too.

Who will be the first candidate to promise not to steal furnishings or anything else from the White House?

If Gary Walters is still there he better think about retiring if Hillary is elected...and hope he doesn’t get hit with criminal charges.

Hey. Cut her a break. She was dead broke at the time. If she didn’t steal the silverware, the family would have been homeless! Chelsea might have had to work in a sweatshop. Hillary might have had to take a job as a domestic servant or worse yet, turn to prostitution, to survive.

Imagine being a lowly usher,and having to confront the Clintons: "Um, sir, I don't think you are allowed to take this stuff. Sir? Sir!...."

Talk about something that would make you lose total faith in your government and American democracy.....

I think Barry and Mooch think the WH and everything in it are beneath them.
