How many of our tax dollars have the GOP spent "investigating Hillary.

Between Whitewater, Travelgate, Vince Foster, Benghazi, Emails, etc... it must be over $100 Mil.

And all of it a partisan witch hunt. Who are the real criminals here.

sure Benghazi also needed to be investigated and hearings held, but a 5 year, 7 million dollar congressional clusterfuck is different.

But seeing this is one of your first post, and you joined today, i suspect your another troll not long for here.

the Whitewater, Travelgate, Whitehouse mess, Benghazi and email investigations by the GOP that cost a couple hundred million (upthread) and resulted in no evidence of wrongdoing by Clinton?

Sorry missuse of Government is definitely something we can hang on the Repukes.

I have to believe that tracking down Taxpayer funds that have been spent trying to prove criminal behaviour on the part of the Clintons would be at least 200 Million when you add it all up (and that seems conservative to me); Hmm, IF we’re talking Hillary alone (that’s hard with those earlier investigations), it may be as low as 50 Million…

If Republicans hate communists so much, they should stop acting like them.
They obviously don't believe in American principles and values.
