a lot of priceless items. They won't steal anything they can't fence, though.

Trump said he thinks the White House is a dump. He won't want anything.

Besides, there isn't too much gold-plating in the White House.

11. The real value are state secrets and the paper/electronic documents that are being destroyed

By Trump and his gang. Joe and Kamala need to investigate the hell out of the Trump administration to show to all Americans (normal and RWNJs) the level of corruption and treason that's been committed since 2016.

Without documents, which I am sure are being destroyed even as I write this, it's going to be a bit hard, but the thing is that these people are basically dummies. In the hands of someone like Preet Bharara, they will be toast, particularly where the US AG and the US attorneys have the ability to nail people for perjury and contempt for refusing to testify. That has been lacking these last 4 years, and I so very much hope Joe starts numerous investigations of these monsters so that they FINALLY have their day of reckoning.

This can happen regardless of whether we win the Senate.

Those papers/files could make him a shit-ton of money if sold to the right foreign buyer. trump and his idiot sons and idiot son-in-law... and the First Lady/daughter, of course...couldn't get any kind of security clearance, but they've had all areas backstage passes for all the goodies for the last 4 years. Now's their chance to monetize our secrets.
They're gonna need the money. When the SDNY, NY state prosecutors, the IRS, Deutsche Bank, and the Russian oligarchs are done with him, he's gonna be living in a non-running Winnebago parked on a side-street somewhere in New Jersey.

I’m sure every fork and saltcellar in the house is accounted for as well, as much of the tableware is historic and antique.

If the grifter and his family want to just help themselves, there are people who will know exactly what they took.

Now, how we get it back will be a different matter.

You can bet on it.

The White House is, for all intents and purposes, a Museum with a curator and all the attendant personnel.

They know every item down to the ink pen.
