I would bet that after they pulled all the bugs out of the walls they did have to resurface and paint everything.

I was in DC two years ago and I thought the White House looked really dingy. Not only was it depressing to know who was in there, it also looked like no one was taking care of the lawn. A sure sign of a bad neighbor.

I am going again next month. I can't wait.

Should’ve washed to whole place floor to ceiling with muriatic acid just make sure they killed any and all remaining infestation

Yep. When the dining room was being redone, Dr. President Trump said there was ‘gold’ behind the walls. Whatever that meant...

Hopefully they were able to get rid of the smell and the stains from the chicken grease on the furniture...

Yes, the rat infestation was particularly bad from Jan. 1993 to Jan. 2001 and from Jan. 2009 to January of this year. Not sure they have gotten rid of it completely even yet.

They should make that room into a faraday cage.

Maybe they did.

Post 28 shows how the previous occupant would reacted upon seeing a mouse on his rug.

“The rat infestation has been an intermittent problem for a long time.”

At least for 8 years.

I’m surprised they didn’t have to gut the entire white house after the Kenyan usurper got through with it.

The aforementioned Moscow Embassy bug was a passive microwave transponder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)

It was an embarrassment because the US officials were unaware of the technology, which is very similar to the now-common passive RFID. While such a device could be illuminated through a window or even a faraday cage that was not fully effective we now routinely scan for such activities. Plus it’s unnecessary to go to such extremes when throughout the previous administration, every person in any given room has been carrying a phone that can be converted into a covert listening device. Now hopefully proper security measures are implemented and the Awan Brothers Phone Company has had it’s wires cut.

“Hope the swept for bugs.”

If Comey was still the FBI head and was told to “sweep for bugs”, he would have brought in bug spray.

Hoping that ‘IT’ upgrades includes cleaning out the bugs, definitely. If that were the only thing they did, it would be enough. Let’s see if the leaks continue.

Thank you. I want to smack him on the back of his head. However, I will put him in God’s hands for justice. :)
