Maybe this will soothe your indignation: from comments under the letter "Clintons were hardly scraping by", James Johnson wrote to you two hours ago;

 "From your link, “In a statement released Monday, Clinton’s transition office said every item they accepted was identified by the White House gift office as a present to them. They said none of the gifts taken was on a curator’s list of official White House property. “Gifts did not leave the White House without the approval of the White House usher’s and curator’s offices,” the statement said. “Of course, if the White House now determines that a cataloging error occurred, … any item in question will be returned.”

So they had approval to remove the items, the approval was given in error, and items were returned."

You read that and replied to it.

So the Clintons, in the matter of your most heinous example, were innocent even of intended theft as well as theft itself.

You might have mentioned that yourself, instead of condemning me.
