For at least the second significant time, an organization financed by billionaire activist George Soros released material playing a central role in directly fueling the impeachment narrative targeting President Trump.
The news media and Democrats are seizing on emails released to the Soros-funded Center for Public Integrity on Friday showing the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requested the Pentagon withhold military aid to Ukraine the same day as Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The OMB immediately pushed back explaining the aid hold was actually announced seven days prior to Trump’s July 25 phone call and that the Center for Public Integrity was harping on one line within 146 pages of documents that the organization obtained to paint an inaccurate and misleading picture of the timing of the aid hold.
The OMB strongly denied that the email, one of many, had anything to do with Trump’s phone call, explaining the communication was part of an ongoing process put into place one week early.
The email being hyped by the media shows an official with the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Mike Duffey, contacted Pentagon officials 91 minutes after Trump’s call with Zelensky to discuss withholding aid.
“Based on guidance I have received and in light of the Administration’s plan to review assistance to Ukraine, including the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, please hold off on any additional DoD obligations of these funds, pending direction from that process,” Duffey wrote, according to the documents.
Rachel Semmel, a spokeswoman for OMB, told reporters it was “reckless to tie the hold of funds to the phone call.”
“As has been established and publicly reported, the hold was announced in an interagency meeting on July 18,” she said. “To pull a line out of one email and fail

At what point is something going to be done about this evil prick?
GS needs to face the legal music ASAP.
The media is oblivious to the fact that the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine financed, jointly with Soros, their own “corruption unit” called NABU. The regular Ukrainian prosecutor(s) allege that this unit did not report to them, and that the Embassy gave instructions to the Ukrainian government on whom to prosecute and whom to ignore. This NABU was set up by George Kent who reported to the Ambassadors, including Yovanovitch - both of whom testified in the House Intel impeachment hearings.
Now Soros group is trying to further bend the narrative.
If I was a suspicious and inquisitive person, and knowing the above, and hearing everyone testify how corrupt Ukraine was, I would wonder if Ukraine might have been the host of a massive money laundering, bribery and kickback scheme to the benefit of American and European politicians and diplomats.
But the media are like ostriches these days, only they stick their heads in places other than the sand...
As many enemies he’s made worldwide? For the life of me I can’t understand why some country hasn’t done something already. Or maybe they’ve tried.
Just goes to show that even if you are one of the wealthiest men in the world that doesn’t mean you are smart, or wise.
Go for it George, let your hate override any lick of common sense.
Not really - they are complicit in serving their Dem/Socialist masters and covering up their crimes. It would be better if they were just stupid, and blind - but they know what they are doing. The Media is continually working on the overthrow of America - and for the installation of a God hating Socialist regime.
Maybe he's under someone's protection.
The Org that Cried Wolf.
Fake Jew.
You’re right. Many of them are. Some of them are just stupid.
Satan’s?
Apparently nobody will ever shut soroznazi down.
Soros and Satan are very good friends, have been so for years.
Aaron Klein is an observant Jew. But because he is attacking Soros, he is literally being called an anti-Semite tonight. Incredible.
“”At what point is something going to be done about this evil prick?””
IMO, the IRS under some law - write one if necessary - should examine all tax returns with the name of any of his organizations as “employer” and reveal the name of any person earning a living working for this scum. IRS knows all his organizations and the ID numbers...far fetched? I don’t care - it’s going to take something like that to bring the rat to justice and get him out of OUR country. How about RICO - I’m sure he’s guilty of plenty of violations there.
In the good old days a G. Gordon Liddy type would be dispatched and Soros “would be dealt with”.
Good deconstruction
