Mueller’s cost so far on the Russia investigation is pennies compared to Kenneth Starr’s cost for Whitewater during the Clinton era. But Republicans and Trump-heads are not one’s for either truth or history.
Given that this will be their rallying cry, I believe, for the next week, lets be clear:
Starr spent over six years on the Whitewater investigation, which eventually led to Clinton’s impeachment for lying under oath, and billed taxpayers more than $70 million. That means a rough average of under $12 million per year.
LETS REPEAT THAT:
MUELLER $17 MILLION
STARR $70 MILLION AND SIX YEARS — WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT BUT A PRESIDENT LYING ABOUT AN INFIDELITY THAT IS DWARFED NEXT TO TRUMP’S INDESCRETIONS
I’m tired already of this bullshit argument — and it hasn’t even started today.
