so the GAO is somehow a partisan organization? Did you bother to read the opinion?
Quote:
The Trump administration’s decision to freeze the release of security assistance to Ukraine last year violated federal law, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) said in a report Thursday.
The independent watchdog said the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) withheld the appropriated funds last summer, not as a programmatic delay but in order to advance the president’s own agenda.
Doing so, the watchdog concluded, violates the Impoundment Control Act, a law that governs Congress's role in the federal budget process.
“Faithful execution of the law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law,” the report says. “OMB withheld funds for a policy reason, which is not permitted under the Impoundment Control Act (ICA). ... Therefore, we conclude that OMB violated the ICA.” https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...lding-aid-from
No, Trump was just kidding when he said I have a favor to ask of you, and then the funds were somehow delayed. Any fool can see those two events were just a coincidence !
And was released after Trump got caught red handed.
There is another ACT(Treaty) signed by Bill Clinton, on November 10, 1999 that supersedes.
Read it yourself, instead of other people misinforming you on purpose.
Beside that, had he gone beyond the set deadline, you may have a leg to stand on.
So you believe radial right talking points rather than a independent agency that oversee Congress, GAO? He could shoot someone. The GAO has a leg to stand on.
Most lawless and unqualified administration in history.
