They make this shyte sound so ominous.

Quote:Special Counsel Robert Mueller is tapping additional Justice Department resources for help with new legal battles as his year-old investigation of Russian interference with the 2016 election continues to expand.

As Mueller pursues his probe, he’s making more use of career prosecutors from the offices of U.S. attorneys and from Justice Department headquarters, as well as FBI agents -- a sign that he may be laying the groundwork to hand off parts of his investigation eventually, several current and former U.S. officials said.

Mueller and his team of 17 federal prosecutors are coping with a higher-then-expected volume of court challenges that has added complexity in recent months, but there’s no political appetite at this time to increase the size of his staff, the officials said.

According to his most recent statement of expenditures, more money is being spent on work done by permanent Department of Justice units than on Mueller’s own dedicated operation. The DOJ units spent $9 million from the investigation’s start in May 2017 through March of this year, compared with $7.7 million spent by Mueller’s team.

Witch hunts are expensive.

It’s very expensive and time consuming to look for things that don’t exist.

Especially when you have to make sure the witch hunt lasts through November.

So the bill was up to $17M a little while back. Was this guy given a budget of any kind? How in F**k can this be allowed to continue unchecked. $17M is 3 times my entire Town's operating budget.

What happens if there is nothing more than a few embarrassing revelations and some stories that are little more than bad PR?

I understand (to a point) that you can only report so much when you are investigating something so as not to reveal your playbook and allow people to hide; but, there has to be something? If this ends up being a "Stormy Daniels level" conspiracy - Mueller should be sued/arrested for misappropriation of public funds.

Right now, anti-Trump elements within government, media, or anywhere else have been searching — for over two years now; Mueller was late to the party — for absolutely anything they can possibly find to destroy him. They’ve come up with a few scattered crumbs.

We don’t know the future. Maybe Mueller is going to unleash several “Holy Sh¡t — Trump did WHAT?!?” type surprises on us. But unless that happens, this made-up “scandal” is just going to explode in the Dems’ face in November when people go to the polls.

No one knows everything Bueller knows, but the average life-time prosecutor asked about the investigation so far will point to who's been indicted and for what crimes and then say there's a very good chance there's no there there. Even Stork, while caressing Gummy's saggy breasts, said he didn't believe there was any there there.

Toss in the fact that Congress has had to drag the FBI top brass, kicking and screaming, to make them turn over requested documents about how their investigation started in the first place, and the whole thing begins to smell like a smoldering pile.

Bueller, if you got Trump on video sticking his tongue in Putin's ear, then let's see it. Otherwise, shut this charade the phuck down.

There is no way this corrupt and biased investigation led by a corrupt Mueller is gong to end this before the midterms and until they have manufactured some bogus charges against our President.

Hence the threat of subpeoning Trump. The Trump team is daring them because they'll kick it up to the SCOTUS and there Mueller has to present evidence tbecause he whole cause I want to talk to him won't work.

They want him under oath and get him for perjury.

No link. Just my opinion.

All this from the dummies who want to investigate Hilary again after coming up with nothing. LOL
Remind me, how much has Trump spent on golf again .

Trump needs to tell Bueller to piss up a rope.

The amount of money spent on this could pay for a manned trip back to the moon by the time it is all said and done....

If only someone could fire him.

While I like the idea for the exploding heads it would cause, Trump has so many other means to accomplish same......like systematically fixing all the shyte the Magic Man broke and appointing a super-conservative woman to the Supremes to undo Roe vs Wade.

Nothing. Piss off.

That's not a wise decision. He fires Mueller and if the House flips in November then you would have impeachment.

I think right now the constant requesting of evidence for the investigation is the right course. Currently nobody can give a clue as to what's been investigated and per Ellis the scope of investigation that Rosenstein gave Mueller is extremely wide and non specific.

IMO RvW will not get overturned regardless of who he puts on the bench. I think the Dems know that but it is the polarizing issue they need to argue against anyone DJT tries to run up the flagpole - it is a smoke and mirrors tactic that is easy because the public already knows all the ins and outs.

There are a lot of other Liberal leaning policies/rulings that would be in jeopardy that they do not want discussed out in the open. Unions for example will be put in the cross-hairs pretty quickly too.

I don't think it will get overturned either, though as Trump said, it may some day be handed back to the states to decide for themselves. I like that idea.
