“Representative Joe Morelli, a fellow New Yorker and close ally of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is the top ranking Democrat on the House Administration Committee, will lead the task force along with Kevin Mullen of California, Delia C. Ramirez of Illinois, and Nikkima Williams of Georgia.
Also on the task force are the top ranking Democrat on House Oversight and Reform Committee, Robert Garcia of California, and the top ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, Jamie Raskin of Maryland, as well as Congressional Progressive Caucus members, Greg Kassar of Texas, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, and the head of the moderate New Democrat Coalition, Brad Schneider of Illinois. They will be looking into self-dealing like Trump's current negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service to settle the $10 billion lawsuit he filed against it after an IRS contractor during his first term leaked some of his tax information, along with that of more than 400,000 other taxpayers, to two news outlets during Trump's first term.”

„The Trump administration expects U.S. taxpayers to fund not only its own military adventurism but Israel’s as well.“

The cost of our all hands on deck heroic rescue of the US service man trapped in #Iran looks to be well over $250 million dollars, and if you include the first lost #aircraft, as well as those lost in the rescue, it could be far more.

A random value estimate of the US #AirForce’s MC-130Js left destroyed In Iran Is around $100 Million each....Rather than risk capture by Iranian forces, the #Pentagon made the decision to destroy multiple US aircraft in place. 

The cost of smaller aircraft left smoldering on the makeshift desert airfield in Iraq estimate to be about $2 million each...

#CBS reported a congressional briefing where one official called it a “fair guess” that the daily #USA #taxpayer cost of #DJT military "intervention" in Iraq is costing well over $1.5 billion.
