1. Eh. I doubt they stole them.

[unblock]

3. Yeah, they have people for that.

[SunSeeker]

15. Why are you giving Trumpers the benefit of the doubt when it's obvious the frames are gone?

[MontanaMama]

2. Pete Souza said that no one would be allowed

to steal WH artifacts. He seemed quite confident in that statement.

[SCantiGOP]

7. There is an independent office

that is not under control of the White House that insures nothing is taken.

[SunSeeker]

14. You mean like how the Capitol Police insures nothing is taken from the Capitol?

[SunSeeker]

18. Picture frames might not be "artifacts," but they're still government (our) property.

Those frames aren't cheap. They were obviously custom made for that wall and to match the banister. Ever have a custom frame that size made at Michael's? Multiply that by 9 frames and you've got grand theft.

4. this should all be documented

it isn't that hard

[Cha]

5. And who wouldn't think they'd

be Stealing as they went out the door?!

They've been Stealing form th American People for 4 freaking Years!

[SunSeeker]

19. Right? It's infuriating. It's so disrespectful of the White House, the People's House.

It's just representative of their disrespect and shameless grifting.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

6. Federal crime they can't pardon themselves from ?

somebody call merrick garland

[Karadeniz]

8. Those look like the frames that Souza would frequently put new photos in, so they'd now be empty.

[SunSeeker]

17. Oh yeah, you're right!

Trump had no use for a White House photographer, he did not want any candid photos taken, for obvious reasons. I remember Souza noting that the current White House photographer isn't allowed to roam the White House like he did, she is only called in when they want to do a staged photo shoot.

I'm sure Trump had them hanging there with something in them, since the nails are still there. They just could not be bothered to remove their photos from the nice frames, so they took them.

22. If I had to pass photos of Trump every day, I'd find another route.

[GemDigger]

9. Settle down Acosta, they might just be cleaning the walls.

The place needs top to bottom fumigation and you gotta get shit off the walls.

[Blue_true]

12. That is what I thought also.

Even Trump people have to realize that if they steal federal shit that there are lots of historical photos of, they will be hunted down.

[SunSeeker]

20. Nope, the cleaning isn't done while Trump is still there.

The deep cleaning doesn't start until Trump departs the White House.

"A deep clean between presidents is usually carried out by White House staff in the six-hour slot when both the incoming and outgoing presidents are at the inauguration ceremony." https://news.yahoo.com/us-government-spend-500-000-162704097.html

And Trump's not leaving until tomorrow morning at 8 am.

[JI7]

10. Probably part of the deep cleaning

[SunSeeker]

13. No it's not. The deep cleaning doesn't start until Trump departs the White House.

And Trump's not leaving until tomorrow morning at 8 am.

23. You don't think they are getting things ready to clean?

You think they can move everything AND deep clean in six hours? I mean, I'm sure they're good and all, but they are probably prepping ahead of time. And also, you quotation says "usually."

[SunSeeker]

24. Of course things will get cleaned. It will start happening today, now that Trump is gone.

There is no indication that any cleaning had started while Trump was in the residence, especially since it is normally not started until the outgoing president departs the residence, so as to not disturb the outgoing president. Trump was offering Biden no courtesies. Why are you insisting he did, when all evidence indicates he didn't? Trump wouldn't even let Biden have a government pland to come to the Capitol. https://www.tmz.com/2021/01/19/joe-biden-isnt-getting-government-plane-to-fly-him-to-d-c-inauguration/

11. They were photos of 'moments' from the almost-over administration..

There were some photos released the other day of Navarro walking away with one of them. Yes, they belong to the government, and they shouldn't have taken them. But we're not talking an Ansel Adams collection here.

Plus, any object from the government collections that are lent out are logged. If someone decides to take even a mildly important piece, they could be on their way to a felony.

16. Ya know what....

I don't give a fuck. They can have the frames as long as they leave and return to bat form.

[SunSeeker]

21. Ya know what...

Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion. If we can lock up Trump or Steven Miller or any of those other White House miscreants for stealing government property, why would we not do that?

[Hotler]

25. I bet they stole the TP also. nt
