Hey Rudy! Mueller's investigation is "a waste of $20 million of the taxpayers' money?" Check THIS.

[Miles Archer]

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s legal team wants a briefing on the classified information shared with lawmakers about the origins of the FBI investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election and may take it to the Justice Department as part of an effort to scuttle the ongoing special counsel probe.

Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump’s attorneys, told The Associated Press on Friday that the White House hopes to get a readout of the information next week, particularly about the use of a longtime government informant who approached members of Trump’s campaign in a possible bid to glean intelligence on Russian efforts to sway the election. Trump has made unproven claims of FBI misconduct and political bias and has denounced the asset as “a spy.”

“If the spying was inappropriate, that means we may have an entirely illegitimate investigation,” Giuliani said of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe. He then invoked the material compiled by former FBI Director James Comey before he was fired.

“Coupled with Comey’s illegally leaked memos, this means the whole thing was a mistake and should never have happened,” Giuliani said. “We’d urge the Justice Department to re-evaluate, to acknowledge they made a mistake. It’s a waste of $20 million of the taxpayers’ money. The whole thing is already a waste of money.”

Trump’s $56 Million in Golf Trips, Cost by Extravagant Cost



https://www.cheatsheet.com/money-career/trumps-56-million-in-golf-trips-cost-by-extravagant-cost.html/?a=viewall

April 23, 2018

1. $26.98 million in flights to Mar-a-Lago

2. $13 million for Mar-a-Lago security

3. $8.48 million for flights to Bedminster

4. $103,000 to cover golf carts for the Secret Service

5. $3.4 million for Palm Beach law enforcement during Trump visits

PLUS:

6. $75 million to protect Melania and Barron in New York

Trump’s lifestyle — including not living with his wife and son for five months — racked up tens of millions of taxpayer dollars as well. NYPD protection for Trump Tower, where Melania and Barron Trump lived, cost $500,000 per day, according to department estimates.

By choosing golf rather than visiting them in New York, Trump made his priorities clear. Over five months, the total cost of protecting Trump Tower likely ran $75 million. Military flights for Melania to join her husband during this time period also cost taxpayers $675,000, The Wall Street Journal reported.

7. Trump’s golf trips rarely involve White House business.

8. At this rate, Trump will outspend 8 years of Obama in 3-4 years.

4. Not to mention that he pulled that $20 million figure out of his ass.

From what I understand, it's only been more like $6 million--a massive bargain for what we've learned so far.

[Miles Archer]

6. Yeah, I saw the actual figure the other day...nowhere near $20 mil

Closer to the $6 mil you cited.

But that's how this works...say it "with authority" and keep repeating it and you'll face a sea of red hats nodding in agreement.

8. And republicans spent over $100 million

on Clinton related investigations over the years, $22 million on Benghazi alone.

Republican’s in the House and the Senate have had two decades of defining Hillary Clinton as untrustworthy and untruthful. They have done it spending more taxpayers money on battling her than any other political figure in history.

The House Republicans spent $8,000 a day investigating Benghazi. The State Department has spent $14 million on answering requests from Republicans that are related to the Benghazi investigations. The final House Select Committee on Benghazi spent $6.5 million with no with no evidence of wrongdoing having been found.

According to a total from the GEO from the second quarter of this year, the amount of public money spent in an attempt get former Secretary Clinton was around a staggering $22 million on the Benghazi.

5. Thanks, Miles - Good Post, appreciate your work.

Republicans don't care about wasted federal funds because it hastens their destruction of our government.

10. And then there's the cost

Of his parade he is planning for him self

[Achilleaze]

11. An estimated $17.2M to make our honorable military salute a frikken 5-time republican Draft Dodger

[smirkymonkey]

12. I can't even tell you how much that enrages me.

Is he seriously going to carry on with this joke? If so, it is a disgusting slap in the face to everyone in the armed forces.

[dalton99a]

14. Yes:

[smirkymonkey]

17. Grrr!

We should plan a protest on that day! Fuck him!

[Achilleaze]

18. Yes, there need to be parallel marches to support not just our soldiers

but also our teachers, firefighters, citizens who feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and clothe the naked.

We need to salute all of them, not some lying, cheating, grifting five-time republican draft dodger.

[Achilleaze]

15. He wants our soldiers to salute and kiss his draft-dodging ass

It's the greatest insult of all time to our American armed forces. He's going to rub their faces in his freaking gilded FAIL, and make them eat his draft-dodging crap on TV in front of the world.

republicans are backing a really sick, full-frontal insult to America's troops. Shame on them.

[smirkymonkey]

16. It's obscene. He isn't doing this to honor the troops. He is doing this to honor

and glorify himself. It's a disgusting slap in the face to anyone who has ever served in the armed forces. Not to mention the huge amount of taxpayer dollars that are going to go toward this goat rodeo.

[dalton99a]

13. Kick

19. Fucking trump.. "no, I'll be too

busy working to play golf like Obama " paraphrasing.
