Hillary Clinton’s campaign said media visits to the office are now welcomed. POLITICO took them up on the offer.

.........................By 10 a.m. Thursday morning, the open-plan office was teeming with staffers, volunteers and interns, many wearing official Clinton campaign apparel. Campaign manager Robby Mook and other senior officials were in their daily senior staff meeting when POLITICO arrived to photograph the office.

Interns and staffers work in cubicles, many on Apple laptops provided to them by the campaign. Each team has come up with its own slogan that flies above their seating area. The communications team, for instance, calls itself “sources close to the campaign.” The policy team is known as “wonks for the win.”

The senior staffers who occupy individual offices keep them spare.

Campaign chairman John Podesta’s office is decorated with a print-out from the Drudge Report with the headline, “PODESTA IN DRAG FOR HILLARY.” The lead photograph on the conservative news site shows Podesta posing in the “pantsuit t-shirt” the campaign sells online.

His bookshelf remains relatively empty — a few boxes of business cards, and some binders, but few books. The most striking piece of wall art is a dark painting of two suited men holding plates and silverware in preparation to eat another man, who appears to be dead. POLITICO was not allowed to document the memos and papers on his desk.

Mook’s corner office, next to the communications team’s cubicle area, featured a standing desk and a cheerful flowering plant, as well as a small table that seats three.

Campaign vice chairman Huma Abedin also occupies a prime corner office on the more desirable side of the building than Mook’s, overlooking the East River. But her office was bare — her mostly-empty bookshelf was filled with a few copies of Clinton’s memoir “Hard Choices,” and a few framed family photographs. There were no papers to be seen on her desk. Abedin was also not there, but traveling with Clinton in New Hampshire.

Didn't find anything incriminating on the bare desks and bookshelves!

Now everyone is discovering "smart" people don't send incriminating emails, either.

Don't they know - now everyone posts their criminal activities on Facebook? Duh!
