Amount of Taxpayer Dollars WASTED On Mueller Report Will Have Conservative Jaws Dropping
Take a guess.
You’d be wrong.
The final amount of taxpayer dollars absolutely wasted on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe resides somewhere between $31 million and $32 million.
Chump change to Washington – but still OUR money.
BREAKING: The final taxpayer tab for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s (dud) investigation: $31,773,751, according to latest Statement of Expenditures report released by his office

Fox Business has more:
According to biannual reports released by the special counsel’s office, Mueller and his team spent $12.3 million in direct spending between his appointment on May 17, 2017 and Sept. 30, 2018. The office also said it incurred $12.9 million in “indirect” Justice Department spending, a category it described as “neither legally required” for disclosure, nor reported in filings by previous special counsels.
Mueller’s office said the indirect expenses did not amount to additional taxpayer expenditures since these resources would have been devoted to other cases, such as personnel at the FBI, if there had been no special counsel investigation.
On average, the office spent roughly $8.4 million per each six-month period. If the final statement — which has still not been released — remains on par with previous costs, total spending from the investigation is expected to reach $34 million in both direct and indirect spending.
Even hosts at radically far-left MSNBC didn’t think the former Special Counsel did anything to benefit the Democrat point of view.

And then President Trump weighed in:
I would like to thank the Democrats for holding this morning’s hearing. Now, after 3 hours, Robert Mueller has to subject himself to #ShiftySchiff – an Embarrassment to our Country!
