The second worst thing is how the focused on the expense of the investigation.
The cost isn't relevant. It's CRITICAL that political officials be investigated. Trying to sour the public on investigating political crimes by appealing to fiscal responsibility is ethically bankrupt
Typical smokescreen by the people most afraid of a moral reckoning.
Watch who's complaining about the cost of consolidated services - usually the most cost-effective - and see, not the price tag, but what they're afraid it'll get us. Usually it's healthcare, schools, and cops; guess why that's a problem.
Excellently stated, thank you.
100%. That infuriated me when I read it. That is the result of worshiping money over all else, aka the current state of our capitalist hellscape.
