Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump approved extra $129M to help House investigate Hillary. Now Pelosi has it. [View all]
Back in late August, Donaldliving in his ego-inflated bubble--kept insisting that there would be a red wave and listened to pundits who told him that not only would the Democrats not take the House, but the GOP was likely to gain seats. That was the selling point for Congress to get their staff funding. The extra staff would be critical for conducting hearings and investigations, which would be handy for investigating Hillary Clintons emails.
Trump approved the extra $129 million for staff.
DOH!
Donald Trump Is Handing House Democrats a Loaded Gun
When Democrats assume control of the House on January 3rd, they will have $129 million more to spend on staff than their predecessors in the 115th Congress didmoney they can use to hire more personnel to, among other things, investigate the Trump administration.
