Why is this different?
And by the criteria the right is using fake news would never be used to make an argument and nothing but lies......
So why is this the exception here?

Coming from the side who invented "alternative facts" I find that funny.

As to Muller's investigation, the best course of action is to appoint a special prosecutor tasked solely with assuring Muller's investigation is not exceeding it's mandate, and is not hiring or investigating where there may be a conflict of interest. All hires past and future should be vetted by a special prosecutor who will audit Muller and prosecute anyone who leaks or engages in an investigation beyond the mandate provided by the DOJ.

Clearly there have been leaks from Muller's office, and clearly Muller has a friendship with Comey. If Muller gave amnesty to Comey or otherwise investigated his friend, Muller should be fired for violation of DOJ rules. The special prosecutor appointed to audit Muller should have the ability to fire and prosecute civilly or criminally anyone in Muller's office.

This should be standard practice for all special prosecutors. Even excessive expenditure, would be misuse of public funds and should be stopped. An auditor for a special prosecutor and his office makes sense.
Hmmm...how does this address the topic? Trump has spent, or will spend, more money on personal expenditures than the previous President by a factor of 8 to 1. Why is this so? What do we, the American people, get out of all this Romanesque spectacle?

...and then your next to the last sentence!!! Sounds like an auditor for Trump and his office would make sense, eh? With the same rules as you stated?

Estimates are just under $20M for how much gov't taxpayer money has been spent for Trump's gold trips.

Good God.

Let's be fair. Trump did donote his first quarter salary to the NPS.

So, subtract $78,333 from that est. $20,000,000.

You mean "CNN Estimates". They don't cite any official sources for this "estimate".

i.e. It's CNN making up nonsense and the pushing it out through the Fake News machine.

This just in: Donald Joffrey Trump still on track to spend 8x what his predecessor did on personal travel. The WH says, "no comment". His supporters , sputteringly, refuse to believe it, citing "fake news". Film at 11!

And, you know that trump is working for our good, how? By tweeting his deep thoughts at 3 am? By being an embarrassment all over the world? By being rude to the person seated on his right? yeah, it's all good.

Those questions seem to be a repeat of what MSM has been replaying. Kudos to you for digging deeper if MSM doesn't answer your questions to your satisfaction.

Those who try to follow some less partisan sources don't have these questions.
