A Justice Department report released Tuesday shows Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation spending $3.2 million between its formation in mid-May and the end September.
The bulk of those expenditures are on personnel, with $1.2 million spent on DOJ employees reassigned to Mueller’s team and about $500,000 on others brought in on the investigation.
A release from the Special Counsel’s Office says that new expenditure reports will be released every six months, with the next one coming on March 30, 2018.
Beyond the $3.2 million being spent directly by Mueller’s team, an additional $3.5 million was spent by other entities in the DOJ that are involved in investigations supporting Mueller’s probe. That spending “approximates expenditures the components would have incurred for the investigations irrespective of the existence of the SCO,” the report said.

I’d be happy with 10x that if it means getting these traitorous buffoons out of there faster. The GOP probably spent 100x that on Benghazi witch hunts.
For this type of Government action …
I’d even be willing to see higher taxes ----
Oh…wait …
A bargain at thrice the price!
Maybe not 100x but at least 10x as much was wasted, all told. Something like $8000 a day for the house report for a total of $7 million, for just one useless report; the state department spent tens of millions defending itself.
