Wake me up when a court concludes it’s a violation.

Administrative opinion versus judicial law.

Check the background. Law does NOT say they have to be dispersed immediately, says they have to be dispersed “by the end of the fiscal year. They were so this GAO announcements is pure partisan drivel without a shred of fact to it.

An Obama appointee made this decision. The OMB says they are wrong. Says delays in disbursements are normal in these situation. OMB is actually the people that manages disbursements

Just another example of the total political corruption of the Democrat Fascist party. Any judgement by a Democrat appointee of this sort in the last 3 years, Judicial or otherwise, has been overturned by higher authority as being merit-less

with this logic withholding a portion of someone’s pay is breaking the law...

Why doesn’t Breitbart do a story on the due date for transferring funds, and then call the GAO liars.

The agency offered an opinion. It does not have the force of law and is based on a premise shown to be false numerous times. Reading the mind of President Trump is certainly not within their purview. Nothing illegal was done in regards to funds to Ukraine. Spin it all they like their opinion does not amount to a hill of beans in real life application.

I am so darned sick and tired of the Dems getting on television every few hours and repeating the same mantra over and over. I think they think this is how they will win over voters...just keep showing your sorry selves in front of a camera and repeat the same things over and over and over.

My ranting is over.

Is the GAO a court of law? Was there a trial of facts and a judge/jury adjudication?

No? Then no “violation of law”.

Not in the US anyway.

Bureaucrats do not determine what a violation of law is. They (the proper agency) can only alleged or charge or indict on some perceived violation of law.

What a farce!

Didn’t Congress give the President more time to work with Ukraine’s Pres. Zelensky to clean up their infamous corruption? Why wasn’t this mentioned in the report? Because it is BIASED !

How come when Obama did it they called it executive discretion to not enforce the law, but if Trump did it it's called a violation of the law?

A) This is the GAO. They are not in a position to judge legality.

B) The aid was not withheld, it was disbursed within the proscribed time limits.

Fail.

“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.

Nope.

Just more deep state.

“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...

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