What a lot of people don’t understand is that the White House is a little city unto itself, with @ 10K people working there. It’s got a ‘mess.’ Anyone working there can invite guests to join them for breakfast or lunch (gotta get clearance, etc., but it’s doable). These women know how to use people/connections and could easily wrangle an invitation for “breakfast at the White House.” Doesn’t really mean that much.

You are right. Been there myself a few times when I worked on the Hill.

You make a good point and normally I would not get excited about it. Sister Natalie has a talent for getting some huge “loans” from her DC connections, making it worthy of consideration.

Thinking more about this...it's still important to find out who would have invited her into the White House...this woman really gets around.

That sounds too high, just from a space and traffic management viewpoint. I found figures of 1300, 1700, and 1800 on the net, although none of these seemed super reliable. Based on maps I have seen of the White House, a lot of these people must work at the EOB.
