I’m sure it’s all on the up and up. Democrats would never ever use an untracked multi hundreds of billion dollars as a personal slush fund. The money would be so tight on the Ukraine side that any missing billions would Shirley be noticed

The simple fact that there isn’t already an immediate and publicly auditable trail of every congressionally approved expenditure should be an outrage.

Every time the government cuts a check, there should be a public record of that fact, in real time. We have that technology.

Has H&R Block gone Woke yet, or are they still a good place for tax and accounting help, regardless of your political party?

There are two reasons this is stillborn.

Greene is not asking for a audit, H.Res.158 states:

"Of inquiry requesting the President and directing the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State to transmit, respectively, certain documents to the House of Representatives relating to congressionally appropriated funds to the nation of Ukraine from January 20, 2021 to February 24, 2023."

"Resolved, That the President is requested, and the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State are directed, to transmit, respectively, to the House of Representatives, not later than 14 days after the date of the adoption of this resolution, copies of all documents, charts, or tables, including notes from meetings, audio recordings, records (including telephone and email records), correspondence, and other communications, and any financial statements detailing purchases, recipients, and government expenditures to the extent that any such one or more items are within the possession of the President or Secretaries aforementioned, respectively, and refer or relate to congressionally appropriated funds directed to the nation of Ukraine—whether in regard to military, civilian, or financial aid—between January 20, 2021 to February 24, 2023."

This is a data dump of all record the Executive has on Ukraine from the start of Biden's term of office to the day the bill was submitted. For a moment ignore the hypocritical cesspool DC is, or Biden is a Democrat above all the rules like the Clintons. There have been no hearings, testimony, or evidence before congress on problems with aiding Ukraine. There is no crime under investigation by congress related to Ukraine. This transgresses Executive Privilege for no reason that has yet been established before Congress.

Biden gets a easy win, the Republicans look dumb. We don't want that.

Second, all the legislation for Ukraine has accountability built in. 16% of the pages for the May 2022 Ukraine appropriations was accountability for where money and resources went (link). If there really is a problem, using the language of the bills on accountability is the place to start. The administration will have a harder time blocking congress from accounting its own legislation.

For those opposed to US aid to Ukraine because they think we should stay out of it (and the few hoping Russia wins), I just explained a better way. Otherwise this is dead end obstructionism. Fair enough?

Samantha Powers has already done her 2 day audit and declared everything on the up and up.

Nothing to see here. No sir-ree Bob. Republicans are just ‘pouncing ‘ and threatening our democracy

I can tell her that at least 10% went to “The Big Guy.”

She needs to introduce a bill cutting off all funding to the money laundering country.
We have enough problems at home.
Use that money to secure our borders.
USA is so screwed.

To the congresswoman, respectfully, if you think Biden and Co. are going to comply with your request, you would have better luck peeing up a rope.

MTG should introduce a bill to see where every penny of our tax money is going...and if we need department. Like for instance, Department of Male Breast Feeding, er, sorry I meant Transportation, since the idiot running it, I wouldn’t hire him to sell lemonade in Death Valley on the hottest day... 🤓
