And justice, as well as the restoration of confidence in free and fair elections, is worth any price. We've fought wars for a lot less.

Well you know there were numerous felony convictions that came out of the Clinton investigations, including a former AR governor, a former judge (David Hale), close business associates of Bill and Hillary, and a deputy attorney general (Hubble) from the admin. In all 15 people were convicted of 40 crimes (according to Wikipedia), and none of them for the bogus 'crime' of lying to investigators that is all Mueller's syndicate seems to come up with.


Bill Clinton himself settled with Paula Jones for over $800,000 as a result of the investigations.

It’s worth every dollar.

And it has the added benefit of being cheaper than wars.

If only Trump had read about it, he might have learned something useful.

Less then the cost of Trump's golf weekends. Which I believe after he lies to the people in a Steel plant he will be heading for some more golf.

I don't think that's possible. SS pays market rate for travel, lodging, food, etc to protect First Fam and others deemed worthy of protection. It's a rare weekend when Trump stays planted in the WH, instead preferring to travel with the entourage to Trump Org properties.

During the campaign :

"Presidents "don't have time to take time off,” Trump says. ... “I would rarely leave the White House because there's so much work to be done"

How much is it costing taxpayers for Mueller's dream team?

Ya know the best time to ask yourself such a question? Election day and before. When you filled in that bubble and elected not just a bubblehead but a known grifter and con-artist for decades who stiffed other people and used others' money both large and small to enrich and bail himself out. A man whom New Yorkers, who actually knew him, spoke against and most didn't vote for. A man known for bad alliances (do da name Roy Cohn ring a bell?) and borrowing heavily from Russian sharks/oligarchs (per his own son among others). Not known for playing nice if you don't pay up. Novichok anyone?

When you CHOOSE a man with such a history of con-artistry and enriching himself by harming others or aligning himself with those who do so, that's what you've got (whether you accept or deny it). And what you will have to pay for. As you and we all, your friends and non-friends, are doing now. Your implied consent elected this. Cons, liars, grifters, grafters and sociopaths don't and shouldn't just get a pass because people were foolish or deluded enough to fall for their (his) line in electing them. There was PLENTY of forewarning.

There should have been one of those TOS boxes on your ballot indicating your affirmation that if you elect this person with a history of conning one and all except (to a degree)his fixers and Russians threatening his life, you are electing to pay a significantly higher portion of your government contribution toward dealing with your critical error. At least it isn't just wastage and further con-artisty enriching Trump as is happening SO MUCH in everything else he and his family and cronies are involved in. It is protecting your country and its citizens.

You, as an individual, are nobody to Trump. Just another ego stroker.

Well, we’re getting ready to bailout the farmers affected by Trump’s tariffs to the tune of 12 billion dollars. Interfering with the means of production IS communism.

Oh, and 12 billion isn’t chicken feed either. Taxpayers have to pay tariffs (taxes) to our government and will have to pay for all these bailouts too.
