Another Faux outrage point.

When the number even begins to approach the inflation adjusted cost of the Bill Clinton investigations, they can discuss it with me.

In the meantime, this is small potatoes compared to that, and there are lot more people found culpable enough to warrant indictments than in the whole Starr investigation.
