Will Republicans admit that Trump did what he did purely for selfish  reasons?   Never.

Will Democrats admit that what Biden did  justified what Trump did?  Not in your lifetime.

The hypocrisy is vomit inducing.

How snobbish of you... moving to Canada. Why don't you move to Nigeria, like the real celebrity?

"Cardi B announced in a profane tweet last Friday that she wanted Nigerian citizenship... Cardi’s tweet criticized President Trump after the U.S. killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike. Fed up with Trump’s leadership, she expressed a desire for dual-citizenship..."

Peter, when you post a link, say why you're posting it and give a summary of the information at the end of the link. I have made this abundantly clear on several occasions.

"One" can.  Apparently Republicans cannot.  They get tripped up on that whole "do the right thing" part, you see.

Is the same story on Fox fake news? On Politico? Etc etc. Anyway it is an official report issued by the GAO whose head is a presidential appointee. Go give it up.

IS ANYONE SURPRISED?

The Government Accountability Office, the U.S. government's internal auditing agency, published a decision today which concludes that the Office of Management and Budget in the Trump White House violated the law when it withheld financial aid appropriated by Congress for security assistance to Ukraine.

Quote
The Constitution specifically vests Congress with the power of the purse, providing that “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”  U.S. Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 7.  The Constitution also vests all legislative powers in Congress and sets forth the procedures of bicameralism and presentment, through which the President may accept or veto a bill passed by both Houses of Congress, and Congress may subsequently override a presidential veto.  Id., art. I, § 7, cl. 2, 3.  The President is not vested with the power to ignore or amend any such duly enacted law.  See Clinton v. City of New York, 524 U.S. 417, 438 (1998) (the Constitution does not authorize the President “to enact, to amend, or to repeal statutes”).  Instead, he must “faithfully execute” the law as Congress enacts it.  U.S. Const., art. II, § 3.

The GAO report does not characterize the reason for the delay in withholding the aid―i.e., this nonpartisan agency of Congress does not take a position in its decision regarding whether President Trump was trying to extract improper political concessions from Ukraine.  The decision only states that "[f]aithful execution of the law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law."

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gao-says-trump-admin-broke-law-ukraine

From the Fox article:

"GAO’s findings are a pretty clear overreach as they attempt to insert themselves into the media’s controversy of the day. Further, GAO has a history of the flip-flops, reversing 40-years of precedent this year on their pocket rescission decision, they were also forced to reverse a legally faulty opinion when they opposed the reimbursement of federal employee travel costs. In their rush to insert themselves in the impeachment narrative, maybe they’ll have to reverse their opinion again.”

I might add that the meaning of the word "opinion" makes everything clear (except to those who refuse to accept direct evidence and prefer opinion).

That quote is attributed to a "senior administration official" i.e. a Trump mouthpiece, ergo you're sorely mistaken with your "conclusion" here. Remember - everything that comes out of this administration is a lie.  This is no different.

I might add that the meaning of the word "opinion" makes everything clear (except to those who refuse to accept direct evidence and prefer opinion).

By the way, the original NBC article featured the same "response" from the Trump official as well, so your "fake news" cry is also incorrect.  So much winning...   ::)

Ah. So much losing for the Democrats... ::)  Keep watching and keep laughing, James. Nancy has screwed up royally, though it was hard for her to outdo Schiff's and Nadler's screwups. The result is going to be a Republican House and Senate as well as four more years for Trump.

Giuliani associate says Trump knew exactly what was going on. No surprise, really.
