Top Judiciary Dem Leahy Defends White House Trashing
Ranking Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat Patrick Leahy said
Thursday that White House vandalism by departing Clinton aides
doesn't warrant investigation, because the perpetrators were
merely following the example set by the previous Bush
administration.
"You know, the same issue came up when former President Bush
left," Leahy told WKDR Burlington, Vt. radio host Mark Johnson.
"They found on some of the furniture in the White House, they had
laminated [former] President Bush's photograph onto it when the
Clinton people came in," said Leahy, adding that the new
administration had to spend "a great deal of money" to undo the
damage.
Leahy also charged that aides to the current president's father
had "moved a number of things" and "changed a number of the
computers around so that it would take them a long time to have
them reconfigured."
"I thought it was wrong when the Bush people did it," said the
Vermont senator. "I think it's wrong when the Clinton people did
it."
Even if true, the apparently new charges of Bush White House
vandalism, at least as described by Leahy, don't rise to the
level of what allegedly transpired last Saturday, when telephone
and computer cables were cut, desks were overturned, trash was
dumped everywhere, and White House hallways weresprayed with
obscene graffiti.
Still, Leahy said he hoped there would be no investigation into
the Inauguration Day destruction.
"We didn't go investigating the Bush people for doing it and I
just think that President George W. Bush is going to take the
same position President Clinton did - where the Clinton people
did not go after his father's aides for doing the things they
did."
Leahy did criticize Saturday's White House vandalism as "somewhat
tasteless."
