Kellyanne Conway Says Mueller Testifying is a Waste of Taxpayer Money (But Trump Golfing Isn’t?)

Kellyanne Conway is seeking to undercut the potential impact of Robert Mueller’s testimony to Congress on Wednesday, saying his appearance amounts to an “insult” to taxpayers and to democracy.

Once again, Conway is lying to the American public.

Conway said Mueller had already made clear that he would offer no further evidence beyond his published report, and that taxpayers had already spent “$35 million or so, over two years and counting.”

She said: “Director Mueller himself has said that his report is his testimony. That ought to be respected and that ought to be accepted.”

Asking Mueller to testify when his report was public was a waste of time and money, she added.

“This idea that we need Bob Mueller to come to Congress to read from his report is an insult to the taxpayers, it’s an insult to Americans’ intelligence and it’s an insult to Director Mueller,” he said. “It’s an insult to democracy.”

Donald Trump said he was no worried about Mueller’s appearance before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees to answer questions about Russian efforts to sway the 2016 election in favor of the Republican candidate.

“The president has zero concerns except that taxpayers are on the hook again for this fantasy that never came true … that there would be a criminal conspiracy and conclusion,” she said Monday.

You know what actually is a waste of taxpayer money?

The over 100 MILLION dollars the American taxpayer has spent so Trump could go golfing.
