Conflicting reports regarding the total cost of the Mueller investigation are discussed, with figures ranging from $20 million to over $50 million. The hosts propose standardizing the number at $33 million for their audience to propagate on social media. This is framed as a response to the lack of a definitive, transparent accounting of the Special Counsel's expenses.
Justice Department Transition, Lindsey Graham, Russia Probe
The departure of Jeff Sessions from the Justice Department was marked by a salute from employees as he left the building. Matthew Whitaker, a former U.S. Attorney from Iowa known for his physical stature and critical views on the Russia probe, now oversees the investigation. Speculation regarding a permanent successor includes Senator Lindsey Graham, though he has indicated a preference to remain in the Senate.
Senator Lindsey Graham publicly stated that approximately 4,700 people have been killed by U.S. drone strikes. This disclosure of a normally classified figure prompted a condescending response from CNN's Erin Burnett, who noted that Graham's source was the Bureau of Investigative Journalism rather than an official government briefing.
