So repukes are complaining about the cost of Mueller's investigation?

[NightWatcher]

They just hung 1.4 trillion on the deficit.

They also spent approximately 30 million on Benghazi probes... THAT PROVED NOTHING!!!


So, sit down, shut up, and hope that you're not dinged in a recorded phone call that shows you knew what was going on with the Russians and trump.

So far, Mueller's investigation has only cost 7 million to date. Oh, and it's getting results like a MoFo. Nice try dingleberries.

1. Ken Starr's investigation of Bill Clinton cost more than $30 million too.

That was to investigate a guy who lied about getting a blow job. Did the taxpayers get their money's worth from that one?

3. I read recently on DU it cost $70 million

4. they're complaining as part of a larger effort

1. control the news cycle with accusations that need to be refuted, over and over.
2. tarnish Mueller. drag him down in the mud with Trump.

its an information war, and they are better at it than we are. they don't care about truth.

they're positioning themselves to dismiss the results of the probe out of hand. they will never even debate impeachment.

Trump isn't going anywhere. we'll be lucky if he leaves office in January 2025.

5. It's in the Handbook of Proper Republican Double Standards

Each incoming Republican member of Congress gets a copy.

In Section 5 (financial etiquette), paragraph 2 (expenditures):

Subparagraph A, Expenditures, private and public, incurred by, for, or in favor of Democrats:
Any expenditure undertaken by any Democrat or individual or committee not controlled by the Republican Party is 1.) excessive, or 2.) unnecessary, or 3.) wasteful, or 4.) politically motivated (the term "witch hunt" is permissible, but shouldn't be used always, so as not to dilute the effect of its use). Any combination of the terms 1 through 4, or all of the above, is not only permitted, but encouraged.

Subparagraph B, Expenditures, private and public, incurred by, for, or in favor of Republicans:
Any expenditure undertaken by any Republican, whether individual, group or committee, is 1.) within reason, and 2.) necessary and 3.) a proper use of taxpayer funds and congressional time spent and 4.) never, EVER, politically motivated. Any combination of the terms 1 through 4 is not only permitted, but encouraged.
