Mueller report finds no evidence that Trump campaign colluded with Russia - U.S. Justice Department

Incorrect. Mueller investigation paid for itself by identifying unpaid taxes by some of those under investigation.


OK.
But that is a very big claim that seems doubtful to anyone that is wise with their accounting skills.

A post above describes the manpower in this investigation.

How much in tax revenue was recouped? And please only report amounts substantiated by news reporting because almost all income tax is settled on a cents on the dollar amount.

Of course it was worthwhile.   A lot of corrupt and illegal activity was uncovered and nearly $50 million in assets were seized.   When there is reason to believe crimes have been committed, then investigations are in order.     

Hillary was investigated.   Her husband was the subject of a special counsel investigation as was Nixon.   

 

It's how the system works and in this case it worked.   Many will not like the outcome, but it was investigated and Mueller had the backing of both Democrats and Republicans and is a man of integrity.   I doubt he would deliberately conceal evidence.   Whether he could have been aggressive or daring in his conclusions are a matter of opinion, but he did his job.   He did it well and he did it thoroughly.   

 

 

 

Some might say this was a politically motivated investigation so it was not actually a criminal investigation in the sense of Bernie Maddoff.

 

$50 million recovered? Seriously that would possibly not cover the expense of manhours for one day.

 

I feel a losing battle here because many seem to be defending this along their party lines which is a response based on emotion. Logic loses out to emotion.

 

I have no investment in this. The political theatre in our Southern neighbor is like a WWF event. Its great entertainment. I have no skin in the game.

 

Cheers

Well, I am not going to argue if it was politically motivated -- pretty much everything in Washington is political at its core.   The Mueller investigation cost about $25 Million.   The confiscated property was just under $50 Million.

 TIME reports it was $25 million for last six months of investigation and the expense reporting is not completed. How long did this investigation last. It seemed like years of agony.

 

EDIT:

Other news outlets reports vary.

 

 For my way of thinking, politically motivated investigations are tax dollars wasted. If a criminal investigation is started by the FBI or as a result of criminal charges at a local level (such as DUI or sexual assault, etc) then a further investigation by politicians is warranted.

 

Credo, I am not intentionally ignoring your responses in the future. I really need to go get my morning cup of over-roasted and over-priced grounds from you know where.

Because here in America, we are doing great any time Trump can make so many liberals cry in the world at the same time.

Make America grate again?

Fortunately Starbucks is nearby and has wi-fi.

 

$50 million in confiscated property.

But isn’t it practice for these properties to be sold at auction for a much lesser amount than reported value?

 

I guess this still ties in to the original topic of the Mueller investigation?
