Cost of Moeller Report
After 2 years this effort must have been very expensive. I would be interested in knowing how much of our taxpayer money was spent - especially if there turns out to be no new dramatic results.

I thought I saw it was around 25 million............. 0 -
I heard the $25 million as well, but sometime after that I heard the $30 million figure batted about. What's a few million here or there when it is someone else's money being spent to feed to you and your friends. 0 -
Most of Mueller's staff was Clinton supporters.
Was this just a way to funnel federal funds to supporters who would have otherwise gotten federal jobs after her election?
Too many people spent too much money to have her elected. Only a fool would think there was no method in place for payback.0 -
hilde sure would not RETURN any of that money either....just use it in their "foundation" and fun little parties like the unbelievably espensive daughters wedding 0 -
From Newsweek: ABOUT $13 MILLION DOLLARS.
HOW MUCH DID ROBERT MUELLER'S INVESTIGATION COST? REPORT COST MILLIONS BUT NOT AS MUCH AS TRUMP HAS CLAIMED

After a lot of waiting, special counsel Robert Mueller delivered his investigation's report to the Justice Department late Friday afternoon, according to Attorney General William Barr.
There will certainly be a lot to explore in the hours, days and weeks to come. But among the questions surrounding the probe has been its cost to American taxpayers. The short answer: We don't know the exact figure quite yet. But we can try to project it.
The latest spending filing from Mueller's team came in December 2018 and covered April 1, 2018, to September 30, 2018. In that period, the special counsel's office spent roughly $4.6 million. About $2.9 million of that was on salary and benefits. The office also reported that $942,787 was spend on rent, communications, and utilities; about $580,000 on travel; and just over $300,000 on contractual services.
That $4.6 million in direct spending brought the total amount?when added to the figures from the prior two reports?to $12.3 million. But the special counsel's office has also tracked other, complementary spending from the Justice Department?something it says it was not legally required to do?that, it says, doesn't cost taxpayers additional money because the resources would have been spent elsewhere if the investigation did not exist. These Department of Justice component expenses came to $3.9 million in the latest filing, which brings the total to nearly $13 million over the life of the investigation.0 -
God only knows the true cost of these "investigations" or better "witch hunts" Tax dollars could be better spent on getting the country up to speed on digitizing the nation to move forward in world tech race. Beside the waste on partisan politcs. We the people expect more of congress then some of the pandering and showmanship of our so called leaders. What kind of leader spends most of thier time on getting re elected then helping constituents?
These are losers and not leaders we have in congress. Our tax dollars are wasted on politics not progress.0
