Make sure that Giuliani does not grab and resell the George Washington portrait that hangs in the White House East Room in payment of his Trump legal bills.
And no, Trump’s relatives are not legally permitted to take “souvenirs” home from the permanent White House collection of paintings, furniture and artifacts.
Count the White House silverware at noon on January 20.

Hope that nobody reading this has the bad taste to suggest that some residents and appointees may need to be frisked next Wednesday before leaving White House offices and residence for last time.

What assurance do we have that White House Family Quarters will be safe, sanitary and secure immediately after noon on January 20, 2021? Sorry to bring up delicate subjects, but the issue is too important to the country.
Josh Hawley may remind some Americans of Joe Cantwell, the malicious, corner-cutting Presidential candidate in “The Best Man” (1964), played by Cliff Robertson, whose mother-in-law, in real life, built Mar-a-Lago:
"If Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley had a conscience, he’d resign. He’ll have to be removed,” says Kansas City Star.
Simon & Schuster has just cancelled publication of Josh Hawley’s forthcoming book, reports @NYTimes:
