One of my Facebook friends posed the question, "Why are all the investigations costing taxpayers so much money? Aren't the investigators on taxpayer's payroll?"
I never answered her question.
Instead, I explained why I am not too fussed about it anymore. That's because my opinion on the Mueller investigation has changed over the last four months or so, and I think that in the end, it might even prove to be money well spent! This is how I answered:
Let's ask ourselves a few questions. Don't worry, the following question will contain a hint for the previous answer.
If you wanted to drain the swamp and prosecute corruption in the deep state, what, (other than the obvious evidence,) would you need?
Why would it be important to have wide-spread grassroots support?
How would having the support of millions of average Americans help reduce rioting and vandalism when corrupt 'celebrity' politicians are arrested?
What is the greatest stumbling block in gaining wide-spread support of the citizenry?
Why does the old media keep pumping out anti-Trump propaganda?
Why does the mainstream media have a symbiotic relationship with the Deep State?
What is an effective way for Trump to overcome media propaganda?
Can you name something other than Twitter?
Why might feeding the Media with a real investigation of a fake charge be useful?
Why would the media fall for reporting a fake story like Trump/Russian collusion?
What real collusion would make them presume that?
How is Mueller's employment history linked to past Democrat leaders?
When Mueller fails to find Trump/Russian collusion, who comes off looking like the bad (or inept, or crazy) guys?
Would this make Americans more likely to distrust the media that had been telling them for over a year that Trump/Russian collusion was the greatest crime in American politics?
What would happen if an "irate" (theatrically angry, but actually sly) Trump declassifies all documents to "prove" his vindication?
What if the declassified documents point to the swamp-dwellers?
How will those who voted Democrat all their life deal with this cognitive dissonance?
If Mueller's investigation and Democrat stalling tied up enough time that two Supreme Court judges have been replaced, how would that work against the Deep State?
If courts are no longer legislating in favor of the Left, but are deciding cases based on evidence, would this increase or decrease the likelihood of a conviction or of being tossed on a technicality?
*** Yes, I think that Trump is using the Mueller investigation to change public opinion, which in turn will make it easier to drain the swamp. The more who get mad at the Mueller investigation, the more people will come around!

But, if you do not like that line of thought, then there is this:
Considering that under the Trump administration more than 2 million jobs have been created and the overall unemployment rate dropped to a 17-year low, while unemployment for Blacks reached the lowest since they began collecting statistics—all of which will mean more taxpayers contributing and fewer persons in need of assistance; considering the stock market reached an all-time high, consumer confidence is at a 17-year high, mortgage applications for new homes rose to levels not seen since Obama's early "honeymoon" months; and considering that Americans will no longer be told they must pay billions of dollars, the spending of which will be decided by foreigners who are administrating the Paris Climate Accord, and because Trump's tossing out of over-regulation has contributed to U.S. total energy exports hitting record highs, by comparison with improvement in the economy, Mueller is spending chump change.
