The Department of Justice has released the financial disclosures of special counsel Robert Meuller, Politico reported on Tuesday.

The disclosure shows that Mueller made just under $3.5 million through his work at the law firm that employed him prior to his appointment to serve as the special counsel investigating Russia’s election meddling.

Mueller’s clients at WilmerHale included Apple, Sony Pictures, Intel, Facebook and the National Football League. The disclosure comes as Mueller continues the probe into Russia’s attempts to interfere in the presidential election and any potential ties between President Trump’s campaign staff members and the Kremlin.

The Justice Department appointed Mueller to conduct the investigation in May, days after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.

Mueller, who previously served as the FBI director under former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama

, also gave paid speeches following his exit from the federal government.

Ping...

Just how is it that these people of “great integrity” are caught up in a revolving door of transient “public service” alternating with salaries in the millions for even more transient private sector no show jobs? How is it we tolerate this obvious corruption?

Amazing that all these Bigs who have careers financed by the taxpayers manage to become multi-millionaires.

He’s part of that hive of scum and villainy known as “Deep State.”

Mueller’s estimated net worth, 8 million.

They all cover each other’s backs. I don’t care if he was a Marine, IMHO he abandoned the Marine code when he became a lawyer and went after the taxpayer funded big bucks.

I’m sure that this isn’t all his worth...but a nudge to be careful of what we have on you type of warning...

Who’s budget is paying him now for the witch hunt? Taxpayers have a right to know.

Where’s his off shore accounts?

[HarleyLady27]

I would say they are well buried in the Clinton Foundation Casino...

Hummm... Why would the AG release this ? Red Eye broke this story 4;20am CDT on their sydicated show.

[HarleyLady27]

Something is coming...

Really? For a high-powered, connected NY/DC lawyer, that’s not much.

To make $3m a year? I’d think most really high powered lawyers would get that much for one case.

[Fido969]

How on earth did Trump get tricked into appointing this corrupt guy?

[HarleyLady27]

I don’t know if he did, I think this was something with Priebus and Rosestein ...
