The president shouldn't have any control over an independent investigation. Ordinary people are generally not the targets of such investigations anyway.

Uhmmm,

Sorry SELLC, but Mr.Trump has been involved in Politics as a politician for a very long time...

I think that in 1999, he had been involved with "The Reform Party", & wanted to be a candidate for the presidency under their banner for the 2000 elections...

You should check-out his book "The America We Deserve" ( circa 2000 ), as he sets out his political views within its pages...

Just sayin',

Rastus

NB. I bet Stoma has a copy lol !

From what reputable news source did you find that juicy bit?

Looks Like Mueller is turning a nice profit for the American taxpayer...

Mueller Probe Cost $25 Million So Far, Report Says. Its Pulled in $48 Million From Tax Cheats

Robert Muellers investigation has cost just over $25 million in the first 16 months of its investigation, according to CNBC.

The Special Counsels Office released new an expenditure report Friday which revealed that the six months between the beginning of April through September cost about $4.5 million. More than half of the total cost is attributed to personnel compensation and benefits.

Since beginning the probe in May 2017, investigating whether Russia was linked to the Trump presidential campaign, Mueller has filed more than 100 criminal charges.

Though the investigation comes with a hefty price tag, it may have actually paid for its own investigation, with its probe leading to monetary estimated gains of up to $48 million for the government through the tax evasion the investigation has revealed.

Paul Manafort, Trumps former campaign chairman, was sentenced for conspiracy and obstruction of justice in September. As part of his plea deal, Manafort agreed to forfeit assets that amount to between $42 million and $46 million, including about $22 million in property, CNBC reports. The case revealed how Manafort avoided paying more than $15 million in taxes by laundering $60 million from pro-Russian Ukrainians, CNN reports.

Manafort reportedly violated the conditions of his plea deal, and last month prosecutors said that he could face more charges.

Earlier this week, Trumps personal attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to financial crimes including paying hush money to a porn star and Playboy model. As part of his deal, Cohen agreed to pay $1.4 million in unpaid taxes and hand over $500,000 in assets as well as pay $100,000 in fines.

Throughout the investigation, Trump has called efforts by Muellers team a witch hunt and has blasted the special counsel for its growing cost.
