G.A.O. Report Says Trump Administration Broke Law in Withholding Ukraine Aid

As the Senate prepared for the impeachment trial, the Government Accountability Office said the White House violated a law that limits a president’s power to withhold money allocated by Congress.

Watching Philbin speak after that blue beast is night and day. Philbin is actually using logical arguments citing actual law, versus a bullet point list of platitudes and nonsense which have nothing to do with the actual case.

Just now, Foxx said:

table motion just submitted.

 

1 of how many? At least 10+ I think... I forget how many Schumer had. 

 

But it takes two hours between each vote. Time for: 

Image result for pouring coffee gif

 

No way anyone is watching this besides the demented few out there (of which I include myself proudly). 


Romney voted to table it... there goes that gambit for the dems. This was a big one, so he's locked in with Mitch.

I still can’t get over the whole basis for this. How does it even approach an impeachable offense?  It’s actually not only not impeachable, but the duty of the president to ensure the countries we are giving taxpayer money to and not involved in corruption with current or former senior administration officials. 
 

Facts:

1) hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma only because he was the son of a sitting Vice President.  (That alone is a basis for investigation)

 

2) joe Biden bragged about firing a prosecutor who was looking into burisma. He accomplished this by threatening to withhold foreign aid. 
 

3) no aide was withheld by the trump administration. 
 

why again are we here??

53-47 is hilarious :lol: 

 

It'll be that way all the way through. With two dems (at least) jumping over to vote against removal in the end (Manchin for sure, and probably one or two more)

It doesn't hold water. It's making differences of opinion on policy an impeachable offense. If it's allowed to stand, it would lead to every future president being impeached simply for disagreeing with the House. It would be the end of the republic. 

 

And that's what Schiff and his ilk really wants. But that's another story.

 

Collins and Romney locked in by Mitch. Good work, cocaine apparently does a body good.

i expect that when it comes time to actually vote on the articles (i don't think they get dismissed (could be wrong though)), it will be a bi partisan acquittal.

I have yet to hear an even reasonable argument for this. I honestly want to hear one, so I can at least see the other side of the case. 
 

all I’ve heard are wild statements about the threat to our republic, dismissing the basis for curiosity about Biden and Crowdstrike as ‘conspiracy theory’, and as DR said, hysteria over policy changes/different approaches than the entrenched bureaucracy.

I have stepped back from this political nonsense with the Bills season going on, but I have a question for the political experts on here..........

 

Isn't it the President's JOB to look into corruption, or am I missing something here?

 

Doesn't the President have executive privilege to do whatever the fvck he wants if he sees their is potential corruption?

 

If the answers to these two questions are yes.......... then the answer to this question should be a yes.................

 

Is this whole thing a fvcking ridiculous farse?
