5. I Will See Your Trump Golf and Raise You Benghazi Investigations and Bill Clinton Investigations
Wed Dec 6, 2017, 02:05 PM
Dec 2017

How much taxpayer dollars did it take to investigate Benghazi? How much money did it take to investigate Bill Clinton for eight years of his presidency. I am pretty certain the Benghazi investigations and eight years of investigating Bill Clinton cost taxpayers more than it is costing taxpayers to investigate Trump's ties to Russia. Also, how much is it costing taxpayers to investigate the Uranium one sell?

Of that total amount spent on golfing-off, some is spent on Secret Service, AF-1 fuel & maintenance, etc.

How much is actually paid to the Drumpf resort?!?

investigating Hillary Clinton for........ everything since the 1990s, and finding absolutely nothing they can charge her with? Well over $100 million, as far as I know. And they're bitching about $3.2 million for investigating a crooked administration that's already landed three indictments?

10. some dipshit called limbaugh today to complain about the mueller cost
Wed Dec 6, 2017, 06:11 PM

- to reinforce limbaugh's own attacks on the investigation, so they are heard by 10 mil on 600 radio stations and the caller was probably sitting in the basement of the heritage foundation.

it's like their ability to rationalize electing child molesters but howling spittle-flecked moral outrage re franken.

13. Meanwhile... it's another day at the Trump Hotels

This is an actual photo, not photoshopped. Some like-minded liberals used a stealth projector to beam this onto the hotel's facade in Washington. Kind of clever, isn't it?
