The White House on Friday released the first tranche of the complex's visitor logs after announcing it would resume releasing the records that the Trump administration withheld.

The first tranche names 400 visitors who visited the White House between noon on Inauguration Day and January 31, and includes seven individuals visiting the Oval Office. Among them are Office of the Director of National Intelligence Chief of Staff Charles Luftig and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's wife, Charlene.

Also listed among visitors to the White House are a number of as-then unconfirmed Cabinet secretaries, including now-Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The White House said in a news release that the decision offered the public "a look into the visitors entering and exiting the White House campus for appointments, tours, and official business — making good on President Biden's commitment to restore integrity, transparency, and trust in government."

3. A parade of mafiosi, money launderers, whores, and Isreali and Russian spies

And less colorful characters no doubt - but those are the ones Cheeto actually paid any attention to.

5. And investigate!

We have a sad tradition, as you know, of turning the page when it comes to past presidents.

And predictably enough, this leads to not only criminals coming to power from time to time - but each, more felonious and shameless than the last such character.

It's not enough to simply have breaks from the criminality with decent presidents like Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden (I see a pattern...); they have to investigate those who weren't - or the next one will be even worse than Cheeto.

Wither the thought!

6. I'm still apprehensive about bugs, worms, recorders, & viruses left by Russians & that last shithead
