Just because she isn't taking a paycheck doesn't mean she isn't benefiting in other ways that the taxpayers are paying for. She gets a posh office, presumably she has staff and supplies, as well as access to all govt services. If she traveling with Daddy Warbucks, then she's taking advantage of free trips with paid food and lodging, free staff, car and chauffeur... all provided by tax payers.

Not to mention how all that access and schmoozing might affect her brand and add to her wealth.Why do the Trumps get a free pass to rip off taxpayers?
