I'm ready for not one, but two scoops of justice.

Cant wait till he finds nothing and the media has to find a new way to undermine trumps presidency.
You're concerned about cost considering all the things that have happened so far? You're not instead keen to either have Trump made guilty, or made free of guilt? Either way, someone wins on this and for someone it'll be worth it. Whichever way it goes, it's certainly a win for democracy and the American people.
Even if it finds nothing it will be the democrats weaponized Benghazi style tool. Endlessly debated and investigated until over half the nation is brainwashed and believes its truth regardless. Classified info to Russia even if almost innocent will be "what about her emails" garbage. Republicans wrote a very effective rule book on creating conspiracy and now the democrats are pushing it almost perfectly. IF, again, it finds nothing.
I mean if I listened to half the shit I heard during the Obama admin zero babies would have been born because they were all ripped from mother, no guns in the nation would be left, and we would be a communist nation.
Well. Eat sh-t.
OK, I guess we'll see soon enough. I really haven't heard anyone lay out a coherent case that anything meaningful actually happened though. Even the "Comey cost her the election" narrative is more coherent than the evil Russians hacking the election.
Anything that gets Robbie Mook and the rest of the bumbling idiots in her campaign off the hook though, I guess.

I do not believe that the results of this investigation will impact the opinions of greater than 5% of people regarding Trump's "guilt".
The idea of something being a "win for democracy" isn't even a cogent notion.
Only one sticking point here; Is robert mueller under the protection of independent counsel law?
Solid, non-partisan, choice. Both sides like this guy last I checked.
Trump wants "to get to the bottom of this".
you know.
Like OJ wanted to find the real killers.
Deputy AG Rosenstein's order:
Of particular interest is its expanded scope. B(ii) establishes the power to investigate crimes incidentally discovered during the investigation of B(i). That's... pretty big. It's how the Whitewater investigation ultimately transformed into the Lewinski investigation under Clinton.
But its B(iii) that ultimately lead to articles of impeachment against Clinton. 28 CFR 600.4 gives the special counsel the ability to investigate and prosecute criminal obstruction of their investigation, and reads:
The two articles of impeachment that passed the House of Representatives in 1998 dealt with making false/misleading statements to a grand jury and obstruction of justice in events that had nothing to do with the original Whitewater investigation, but were connected to the Paula Jones investigation that grew out of it.The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall be established by the Attorney General. The Special Counsel will be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated. The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall also include the authority to investigate and prosecute federal crimes committed in the course of, and with intent to interfere with, the Special Counsel's investigation, such as perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses; and to conduct appeals arising out of the matter being investigated and/or prosecuted.
Considering that Trump is a walking-and-talking-and-tweeting nightmare for defense counsel, and has surrounded himself with unsavory people like Manafort and Flynn and New York mafioso and Russian mobsters, this isn't particularly good news in and of itself for the administration. Having a guy like Mueller running it makes it much worse, since his major expertise is in investigating financial crimes like money laundering.
