The Saudis are currently in residence in their ***lavish compound in the hills of Marbella.

Very interesting. Thanks. Wonder if she is smuggling in someone to met The Saudis w/her 'private list' of family/friends and the need for 30 rooms (minus staff).

I think so. I think she was summoned and is acting as a bag lady. Consider:

1. The trip came out of nowhere.

2. The trip is a serious political liability.

3. She is missing her husband’s birthday to go.

4. No media will be allowed to cover her activities.

I used to be suspicious what came back on Air Force One when the Clinton’s went to China and elsewhere. In Michelle’s case, its beyond suspicion. I bet foreign intel agencies (France for example) will monitor her meetings.
