That's exactly what they had on Bill Clinton. Took Ken Starr a very long time and $$$$$$$$$ but I do not recall one Republican complaining about the cost.


Same with Benghazi which two Republicans - Colin Powell and Condaleeza Rice both said was a witch hunt.


I do not recall any righties complaining about THAT cost.

Any idea what the Republicans spent on the Hillary investigations that, I'm sure, the OP has no problem with?

$11 million is the figure I heard for Benghazi, which Gowdy himself finally admitted was a partisan effort to destroy Hillary. They got a few reams of waste paper for the expenditure. Ken Starr had 225 attorneys working on the Bill/Lewinsky case at one time.

Altogether $80 million was spent investigating the Clintons, and that is not an adjusted figure.

No. The morality lies in the truth that is discovered. If nothing is discovered, then where's the moral penalty?

I have never cared whether the truth hurts "my team" or not, mostly because I never had a team anyway. I've always voted for the person, not the party.

The truth is the truth. Both parties have the same proclivity to bend it from time to time.

As to being over your head... you had best look in the mirror and ask that question to yourself.
Are you willing to support a liar when it yields results for your team?

You have my answer. What's yours?

We cannot discriminate against Trump. We must spend at least what was spent on Clinton investigations or Trump's feelings will be hurt.

It's karma. Republicans started this fire.

"...GOP’s fear and loathing of Hillary Clinton cost you $100 million..."

Tell that to Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn.
And when you do, remember that Manafort was once Trump's campaign manager, and Flynn was once his closest advisor.

That’d be great, thank you.

Because it’s always OK if you’re a Republican breaking the law.
