John Boehner will announce this
week that he is going to waste millions of taxpayer dollars on a House
investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.
ABC’s Jon (Benghazi Emails) Karl reported,
“Top House Republicans tell ABC News they expect Speaker John Boehner
to announce a new House investigation next week into Hillary Clinton’s
e-mail practices as Secretary of State, including her admitted
destruction of some 30,000 e-mails that she determined to be purely
personal.”
Here is what House Republicans never tell the taxpayers. These investigations aren’t cheap. From January 2013-January 2014,
the House spent $5,657,142. The House budgeted the cost of the Benghazi
Select Committee at $3.3 million in 2014. House Republicans were proud
of themselves for only spending $1.5 million by December 2014 on a
committee that didn’t do much of anything publicly during the year.
The IRS estimated that they had to spend $14 million
to cover costs associated with document requests from House
Republicans. House Republicans have wasted tens of millions of taxpayer
dollars investigating the IRS, Obamacare, and Benghazi.
Republicans won’t tell the taxpayers exactly how
much they are spending on each of these investigations, but if the
Benghazi and IRS investigations are a measuring stick, the Clinton email
investigation will cost millions of dollars.
House Republicans are set to throw this money down
the drain in a completely partisan attempt to get some dirt that they
can use on Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election. Speaker Boehner is
also looking for anything that will serve as a distraction from his
record of failure. The Republicans are off to chase another conspiracy
theory.
When the estimated costs of the Benghazi, Clinton,
and the lawsuit against President Obama are put together, it is clear
that Republicans are wasting tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on
partisan witch hunts.
Speaker Boehner refuses to tell the American people how much of their money that he plans to waste, so it is up to voters to demand to know what Boehner is doing with their money.
It isn’t enough for John Boehner to be wasting time; now he is wasting your hard earned money.
