Actually telling lies... Look back to his comments about the NK release of captives.. That is pretty recent and is full of lies.. One normal statement from him..
You are concerned about the time line??? Wow , that is a historical first..
It seems that it is mostly Republicans who are grousing about the “interminable time and expense” dedicated to the Mueller Russian probe. For comparison, they may wish to consider the Clinton Whitewater investigation – a process they rarely excoriate.
In April 1994, the DoJ convened an investigation into the President and Hillary Clinton regarding the failed Whitewater Development Corporation – spurred by an exposé in The New York Times.
What was supposed to be an investigation into alleged real estate fraud (there proved to be insufficient evidence), instead extended into a 4½ year probe into allegations of such things as no-show contracts by Clinton’s friend, Vernon Jordan, and the Clinton’s involvement in the suicide of Vince Foster – all of which were found to be without any basis in fact.
Desperate for results, the investigation then steered towards new-found allegations of sexual misconduct by the president – far removed from special counsel Kenneth Starr’s original mandate. This diversion proved successful, and resulted in the Lewinsky scandal and Clinton’s eventual impeachment.
And how much did the Whitewater investigation cost? It lasted from 1994 until 1999 at a cost over $80 million dollars, unadjusted for inflation.
As an additional point of reference, the earlier investigation of the Reagan Administration’s involvement in the Iran-Contra affair lasted eight-years and cost $47.4 million – also unadjusted for inflation.
So far Mueller’s investigation into possible acts of treason by the most senior officials in the White House began in May 2017 and has cost less than $6 million (as of 7 May 18). Despite its brief history, it has already yielded multiple indictments and guilty pleas: Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Richard Gates, George Papadopolous, Alex van der Zwaan, and Richard Pinedo were all indicted by Mueller’s grand jury with all but Manafort pleading guilty, and 13 Russian nationals have also been indicted. More are expected.
Due to the complexity of the case, including the involvement of hostile state actors, there are likely hundreds of domestic and foreign leads that have yet to be run to ground. Mueller & Co. have a sterling record of not leaking to the media. Once obtained, the entirety of evidence and the resultant indictments will be revealed only when doing so will not impede the completion of their investigative mandate.
