Description:

Following the loss of Al Gore to George W. Bush in the 2000 election the Clinton staffers at the White House were furious. As a consequence the Clinton Team destroyed the executive and administrative offices of the President. The attached GAO report (written by Democrats) outlines some of the damage. White House furniture was destroyed, historical fixtures were stolen or damaged beyond repair, door knobs removed, telephones destroyed or addressed phones moved, offices had vulgar graffiti on walls in pen and marker, numerous pictures of President Bush imaged as a monkey were in hundreds of offices, couch and chair cushions were sliced, drawers were glued shut, all of the letter "w" were pulled from keyboards, phone and electrical cords were cut or pulled from walls, etc. The GAO report outlines much of the damage, however the Bush white house team did not want to aggravate the situation in a hotly contested election so they downplayed the damage.
