Since it is a partisan witch hunt the money should stop ASAP and make Mueller expose his witch hunt with no redactions. To allow him to continue he has to reopen the Clinton investigation on Russian collusion, investigate the Clinton Foundation for money laundering and other crimes, investigate the Clinton pay to play, take away the immunity since they lied, charge and lock up the Clinton bunch for lying to investigators, charge and lock up the Podesta brothers / group and lock up all the ones involved from Bill / Hillary / Chelsea and Husband. Last investigate the Clinton Mafia for all the deaths connected to the Clinton's dirty dealings. Then the expense would be worth it.

The Democrats are going to keep muellMu on board thru 2020. It will always be hanging over Trump's head. Maybe phone calls to our perceptive law makers in Congress thinking.
