Hillary Clinton apparently got a five-finger discount on furniture and lamps when she was Secretary of State, courtesy of taxpayers.
According to a statement given to the FBI by a former member of Clinton’s Diplomatic Security, Hillary “and her staff” were seen taking furniture out of the State Department and relocating it to her Washington, D.C. home.
From pages 44 and 45 of Part 4 of the FBI’s release today:
“Early in Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, she and her staff were observed removing lamps and furniture from the State Department which were transported to her residence in Washington, D.C.,” the agent, who was with the Department of Homeland Security when his/her interview was conducted on September 2, 2015.
“[REDACTED] does not know whether these items were ever returned to the government upon Clinton’s departure from the State Department.”
The Clintons were accused of taking similar items when they exited the White House in 2001.
Breitbart reported in 2015:
As the White House’s keyboards were losing their “W” buttons, so too was the First Lady making off with an historic haul in the form of gifts and presents from friends. Some actual White House artifacts ended up being part of the loot, according to Sally Bedell Smith, author of the 2007 book, For Love Of Politics.
“[The Clintons’] financial-disclosure forms revealed that they walked away with $190,027 worth of furniture, china, flatware, art, and other gifts, nearly half of it acquired in their final year. It also turned out that they took some property that actually belonged to the permanent White House collection.”
