That’s some clothing budget! Melania Trump wears a staggering $20,000 worth of clothes in just FOUR days during the first couple’s trip to Japan - and that doesn’t even include her accessories

Odds are pretty good that she paid for them herself....not the taxpayers.

AG Barr Battles Intel Community And FBI. Illegal Surveillance Had Been Going On For Years. By Sara Carter -May 28, 2019

Despite the president’s order giving Barr authority over the declassification of the documents related to the bureau’s investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia, it won’t be met without a fight. And there’s a reason why.

This isn’t just about Trump. It’s about nearly a decade of abuse inside the intelligence community and bureau regarding foreign-intelligence-collection authority. Why? Because it was carried out to monitor communications of Americans inside the United States and the procedures meant to protect Americans either swept up in those calls or targeted were not followed. The Fourth Amendment was under attack and abused for political purposes, say several retired intelligence sources.

It was the same argument made by Joe DiGenova, former U.S. Attorney and outspoken supporter of Trump, during Memorial Day weekend.

“This is full scale war between the Attorney General of the United States and believe it or not, another FBI director who thinks he’s James Comey,” Joe DiGenova, former U.S. Attorney said Monday on WMAL radio’s Mornings on the Mall radio show.

“We are heading toward a gigantic, gigantic fight,” he added. “The intelligence community, which includes the FBI, is in full resistance to disclosing what they did during the presidential campaign.”

DiGenova told this reporter Tuesday that the FISC’s opinion in 2017 reveals that improper surveillance has been happening since 2012....

Does ANY first lady EVER have the taxpayers pay for her clothes? I have a vague memory of Hillary having designers DONATE clothes to her so that she didn’t have to pay for them, but that may not be right. Trump is so very careful there’s NO WAY Melania didn’t pay for those herself.

IIRC, she was independently wealthy when she married the President - from her years as an interational model, starting in Milan, then going to Paris. From there she went to New York. I expect she can easily afford it, and would not want any strings attached, anyway.
