There are rumblings that the Mueller Investigation is about to wrap up 19 months after it started and having purportedly spent upward of $27M, will our President, unlike a few of his associates, survive this unscathed?
A little historical perspective in the nature of money spent on Special Council Investigations:
How does the Mueller investigation compare historically?As we’ve reported, the investigation of President Bill Clinton over Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky — headed by Kenneth Starr and then by his successor, Robert Ray — cost upward of $52 million over half a decade. Another $40 million-plus went toward a handful of other Clinton-era independent counsel investigations.
Meanwhile, the investigation of Reagan administration officials over the Iran-Contra Affair, headed by Lawrence Walsh, topped out at more than $47 million over a roughly similar period.
Those figures are direct costs only, and are not adjusted for inflation. Their price tags would be far higher if converted to 2018 dollars.
