Melania?

[Heartstrings]

It seems like everyone associated with Trump is "under investigation" or known to have links to Russia, however little attention has been paid to Melania, who sits quietly in the background. What are her links to Russia and what is her involvement in her husband's "alleged" criminal activity? Mother always said, "Watch out for the quiet ones 'cos they're usually the worst." Maybe there's something quite important being overlooked here. Any thoughts on this?

1. Melania has no duties with regard to the government.

She is a trophy in Trump's trophy case, and nothing more to him. I do not see any utility in focusing attention on her, frankly. It's probably best just to ignore her and focus on people who are active in the Trump administration, I think.

Attacking First Ladies is seldom useful in any way.

4. So true MM!

5. I don't know about that.

Attacking President Bill Clinton's First Lady for 30 years seems to have worked quite well for the wing nuts.

[MineralMan]

7. Which is not an argument in favor of us doing the same thing.

I seriously doubt that Melania will run for office, you know. And she can't run for President, as Hillary did.

She is not a factor in anything having to do with government.

Attacking her is a waste of time and energy, and serves no purpose whatsoever.

9. I don't think checking for dirt on her is problematic,

because I am happy to see any crap on this administration come to the light of day. If his wife is corrupt and it helps to take him down, that is fine by me.

[MineralMan]

10. I have to disagree. It's pretty clear to everyone that Melania

has no involvement with governmental decisions. So, anything found about her will have no impact. At the same time, going after First Ladies is widely regarded as off limits.

Either we want to make an impact or we don't. If we do, we will be far better served by investigating people in the administration that actually matter. Melania Trump does not matter in any way. She has no function within the administration.

Priorities are important. We should not waste our time doing useless things just now, I believe.

11. She has no fear of him, she has the looks and actions of someone not in full control, but it's not

him, yes we should wonder and perhaps worry.....

12. I guess they didn't get the memo re Hillary. nt

2. Do you actually think that Trump would ALLOW her to have any life outside of marriage?

[Takket]

3. I'm willing to bet the FBI has a folder with her name on it

[Amishman]

21. Of course they do

But the again I bet everyone has a folder, full of NSA snooped goodies

6. She's been investigated a few times..

She was caught lying under oath in 2013
She was investigated about her visa
She plagiarized her speech
She got her green card 4 years before she married trump.
She comes from Slovenia where there are connections with Putin

Besides that, when the rest fall, she'll be going with them...

I think she's quiet because she is not allowed to speak.

[CozyMystery]

8. If she is involved, it will become evident during the investigation.

I'm not worried about her -- she has no power to effect the daily lives of our country's inhabitants.

[jrthin]

13. She's a racist pig. And as I understand,

When she met the turd, that's when he became a flaming racist. He was always a racist pig, but she nurtured it.

[BowlLikeAChicken]

14. From the photos of her

She seems to be deeply unhappy, may be that she's on a quiet suicide watch.

I actually feel sorry for her.

15. Mrs. Trump is NO Michelle Obama.......

In word or deed. It has nothing really to do with background or accomplishments, but what the vision is as First Lady for the country.

Michelle Obama as First Lady was visible and accessible to the American public. She endured villification from the Conservative wing of the GOP for her initiatives for Healthier eating, Exercise, Veteran affairs, education of girls, etc. She did numerous speaking engagements, was a guest on many shows, was an advocate for her husband in a compassionate and educated way. Always presenting herself in a manner one could be proud of.

Melania Trump has big shoes to fill that she has yet begin to explain to the Nation, just what her causes are. Cyber Bullying? What's up with that? Where is her staff? Probably too busy to even assemble one.

The differences could not be more clear.

[Jim Beard]

16. She could translate Eastern European messages, maybe from the Ukraine.

There is no comparison to Hillary. Hillary was deeply involved in Democratic politics and made enemies when she worked as a staffer on the Watergate committee. She was also a mean ball buster. I didn't like her for a long time. It is these reasons why she was a lightning rod. I always liked bill.

[smirkymonkey]

17. I think Melania has been too busy digging an escape tunnel to have anything to do with

undermining the US government.

And now, for your Sunday afternoon viewing pleasure...

18. Lol, her brain is a rock!

But it is more barren!

[smirkymonkey]

19. That video cracks me up!

He does them on the whole Trump family. They are hysterical!

Here's one on the whole "First Family".

20. OMG, hilarious! The grifters speak!
