“OMB withheld funds for a policy reason, which is not permitted under the Impoundment Control Act (ICA).”


So the GOA implies that the OMB can only withhold funds for non-policy reasons: i.e. arbitrarily.

“The OMB issued a statement in response to the report’s findings, reaffirming that the hold was appropriate.

“We disagree with GAO’s opinion. OMB uses its apportionment authority to ensure taxpayer dollars are properly spent consistent with the President’s priorities and with the law,” OMB spokeswoman Rachel Semmel said.”

That’s a part none of the stories seems to want to highlight...

This story is now debunked. The GAO outright lied. The GOP senate could call them in to testify and destroy them.

Biden’s boastful speech about delaying aid to Ukraine to get rid of their prosecutor should be played non stop in ads.
