Though the investigation comes with a hefty price tag, it may have actually paid for its own investigation, with its probe leading to monetary estimated gains of up to $48 million for the government through the tax evasion the investigation has revealed. Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, was sentenced for conspiracy and obstruction of justice in September.

As part of his plea deal, Manafort agreed to forfeit assets that amount to between $42 million and $46 million, including about $22 million in property, CNBC reports. The case revealed how Manafort avoided paying more than $15 million in taxes by laundering $60 million from pro-Russian Ukrainians, CNN reports.


But muh 25 million. Muh fiscal conservatism

So is Muller an IRS agent or was he empowered to investigate Russian collusion?

Cool, this is like local police and sheriffs departments confiscating cars and boat of all convicted drug offenders, nothing went wrong with that.

You know, when people have money, they spend money, and that is good for the economy!

Meth amphetamines cost very little compared to the money thats make by the drug dealers..who then spend that money?

Jeff Bezos just looks suspicious. He might be colluding with Chinese nationals to lobby for better trade deals. I bet we can get the money for the wall by tying him up in court. Hell, he might even offer up Prime Shipping on the materials.

I'm glad you think it's a good idea for the government to investigate people before a crime is known, bust into their private residences and then search for any proof they can use on you.
All leftists are big state totalitarians

Wow, we should give unlimited budgets and investigative power to multiple special councils so they can investigate what everyone has done in the last decade so it can pay for itself. I wonder how much wrong doing they could find if they were given unlimited access to anything they wanted.
