US Govt. Has Spent More Than 4 Times the Cost of Mueller's Investigation to Let Trump Play Golf

ROBERT MUELLER'S SPECIAL COUNSEL INVESTIGATION HAS COST AN ESTIMATED $16.7 MILLION IT'S FIRST YEAR - TRUMP'S GOLF OUTINGS HAVE COST $67 MILLION

The Justice Department has released a report showing the cost of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into foreign entanglements of the Trump campaign.
Through just over a year, the total comes in at $16.7 million.

Naturally, this resulted in a morning tweet from Donald Trump.
Trump had previously pegged the investigation at $20 million, an exaggeration modest enough that he likely had someone at DOJ check the books for him.

And while Trump may be wishing he had that cash so he could grab some Florida real estate for a Russian oligarch, the cost of the ongoing investigation does seem....pretty reasonable.

golden, gourmet, ultra-luxury golf goof offs for their freaking ignoble republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, who claims he is a "billionaire."

And repubes call themselves "conservatives." What utter horseshit.
