    Something someone w/research and intern assistance should calculate: the cost of Trump cabinet member graft (maybe even JUST non-standard plane flights and security and fancy tables) v. Mueller investigation.

        That MAY have been what precipitated it. Or maybe it was Pruitt. Hard to keep the Trump corruption straight.

        @realDonaldTrump His golf trips alone would dwarf the costs of the Mueller investigation.

        Can you add a category for how much we spend on his kids roaming around the globe selling out the US to the highest bidder?

        Great project. I wish someone would do that. It seems virtually every senior member of this criminal administration is a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece. #TrumpResign #ImpeachTrumppic.twitter.com/bMzGWIEW4j

        Well, Trump did get a $500 million loan from China and Ivanka's trademarks are probably worth in the tens of millions. Mueller's investigation is under $10 million from what I understand...

        Just Trump's weekend golf trips will exceed the entire cost of the investigation, many times over.

        How about all the extra paid to follow the Trump cubs around the world as they grift on the taxpayer dime.

        "Graft," "payola" and "profiteering" are meaningful words that deserve more air time. The Trump-coined terms "collusion" and "the swamp" don't mean much, and they come pre-innoculated with tribalist overtones. Let DJT say, "There is no graft in my administration."

        Other than Trumps, Pruitt, Mnuchin, is there that much graft that's paid directly by the US taxpayers, as opposed to private/corporate/foreign payments to Trump and his buddies in return for favors to be granted sooner or later?
