Chairman wants financial audit of Mueller investigation

[hvilleherb]

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, plans to request a financial audit of the special counsel investigating Russia's influence campaign over the 2016 presidential election.

Meadows said in an interview set to air Sunday that he will ask for a review by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the nonpartisan government watchdog that handles investigations for Congress. Meadows wants a full audit of expenses incurred by Robert Mueller and his team, Meadows told C-SPAN as first reported by the Washington Examiner.

Meadows said he wants the audit to ensure that Mueller, a former FBI director and U.S. attorney, is making proper use of the money provided to his team by Congress to look into Russia's election meddling.

Why would an audit be a bad thing? Any office in the government should have their book reviewed from time to time.

this is a strategic mistake. No one cares how mueller spends money. We do however care about Mueller prepping Comeys testimony and things like redactions being used for political purposes.

The RNC has a winner with the Mueller investigation. The next thing they need to do is schedule a public hearing as to why certain things of no national intelligence value were redacted.
