ABC News reports that $5 million of taxpayer funds have gone towards S/P travel, office supplies, and dozens of federal agents, attorneys and staffers.
Mueller’s salary totals $161,900 while senior FBI officials make roughly $130,000 per year.
Republican lawmakers have used the pricetag to denounce Mueller’s probe as a partisan witch-hunt. After President Donald Trump called the investigation “a taxpayer funded charade,” Congressman Steve King came to his defense and called for legislation to avoid “a never-ending investigation that could go on for two presidential terms.”
“For them to say to us, ‘Vote for an open-ended appropriation into a Mueller witch hunt,’ I think you’ll see significant objection there,” Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) told POLITICO in late October.
“”ABC News reports that $5 million of taxpayer funds have gone towards S/P travel, office supplies, and dozens of federal agents, attorneys and staffers.””
Quite a difference between that and “pocketing” taxpayer dollars. No one would expect an investigation by ANY government official not to have expenses but those aren’t being pocketed by the principal involved.
Why do FReepers believe sources from the mainstream media (ABC) when it suits their mindset but the rest of the time it’s not to be trusted?
