An omnibus bill is not a budget and isn’t binding in that sense.

According to Jerome Corsi, today, this was how Obama operated for 8 years. Billions are still unaccounted for.

also, the bill talks about withholding funds for non-compliance to federal laws/statues/regulations & even T&C’s!

Now imagine the POTUS with the NSA/Military Intelligence, has dirt on everyone and everything. All those budgets for agencies/charities/corporations/organization we so hate, can be withheld, if they end up breaking federal law/regulations/statues/T&C’s.

So Trump/Q Team can simply reveal/leak this dirt on the organization they don’t want funded using their usual channels, for example Julian Assange, Fox News etc.. whoever, and then say, hey this organization has broken these laws/statues/regulations/T&C’s, we are suspending funding for the time being or indefinitely.

Also check section b:

(b) Disallow (that is, deny both use of funds and any applicable matching credit for) all or part of the cost of the activity or action not in compliance.

ALL or part of the cost!

Think Planned Parenthood.

Never heard an Omnibus is not the budget.. Been gov’t accountant for almost 30 years and always treated omnibus like a regular budget and rules of appropriation law.. funds can only be obligated according to time, amount and purpose.

Now that would be funny! All those cheap-labor open-borders swine in Congress shot themselves in the foot because they're too cowardly to actually pass a budget?
