WASHINGTON — Special Counsel Jack Smith spent more than $5 million in the first four months of the federal investigations into former President Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents and his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The expenditures also showed that other components of the Department of Justice spent more than $3.8 million to support Smith's office.

There’s not even any pretense being attempted in the Biden investigation. It’s a farce, they know it, and they know that everyone else knows it. The openness of the corruption in this administration is absolutely staggering, and they’re supremely confident that they can’t be touched. I guess they’re right.

At home the Dems are saying “Well spent. Every dollar that goes to keeping Trump off the ballot and in prison to the end of his life is well spent money.”

Guy I personally heard in public: “It’s about time at least a few people have enough brains to figure out Trump has done a lot of crooked things and should be in prison.”

Money spent also by special counsel Robert Hur....

They seldom mention his dad Ben.
Charlton Heston played him in the movie.
