The Very, Very Expensive Jack Smith

NYSlimes report taken from Wauck's place:

 ...Jack Smith, the special counsel overseeing criminal investigations into former President Donald J. Trump, employs 40 to 60 career prosecutors, paralegals and support staff, augmented by a rotating cast of F.B.I. agents and technical specialists, according to people familiar with the situation.

    In his first four months on the job, starting in November, Mr. Smith’s investigation incurred expenses of $9.2 million. That included
$1.9 million to pay the U.S. Marshals Service to protect Mr. Smith, his family and other investigators who have faced threats after the former president and his allies singled them out on social media.

    At this rate,
the special counsel is on track to spend about $25 million a year....

All to put Donald Trump in prison OR to make certain he's not re-elected (3rd time) as President.

Or both.
