Stealing White House property IS a federal offense, isn't it?

I'm no legal expert, but according to my layman's knowledge:

A) Larceny is stealing without use or threat of force, as opposed to robbery. Knocking out a victim to steal his wallet is robbery. Taking the wallet from an already unconscious person is larceny.
B)Petit larceny dollar limit (vs. grand larceny) I think is $100.

While the Clintonians were petty, I think it qualifies as grand larceny (considering the willfully unconscious state of the press and the Clinton's supporters). But with all the Arkanacides, I can't help but wonder if that can be considered threat of force.

With so many crimes to choose from, I just can't pick which one I'd like to see on their "permanent record" :>

So is perjury, witness tampering, rape, obstruction of justice and murder but that hasn't stopped these criminals yet so why worry about something as petty as stealing?
