87 Senators Voted For Ukraine Aid, Objected to Halt, But Now Want No Evidence Why
87 Senators Voted For Ukraine Aid, Objected to Halt, But Now They Want No Evidence Why The Aid Was Withheld.
They asked about it, they expressed concern when they found out about the hold.
But everybody knows why they no longer care why the aid was withheld.
If they question it, they run afoul of President Trump.
And they are afraid to do that.
All the Republicans live in fear of being insulted on twitter by the President.
If the President goes against you, you are doomed in the Republican party. He rules by tweet.
Isn't it amazing the about-face turn-around the Republican Senate did on the Aid to Ukraine?
First they are for it, they approved it, they voted for it. Then, they were very concerned when it was withheld, very relieved when it was released.
And now they have an opportunity to vote to see evidence explaining exactly what happened, and they are turning it down.
No.
They don't want to see evidence.
Because Trump doesn't want them to.
Now, I ask you.
How many innocent individuals fight to keep evidence which might prove their innocence from being seen?
Innocent people don't do that. That's what GUILTY people do.
"Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell praised the Trump administration’s release of the funds, saying: “It would have been a mistake to hold back our assistance to the brave people of Ukraine. Doing so would have undermined our partners in Ukraine and Eastern Europe and further emboldened the Kremlin.”
It was one of several disputes recently between Trump and members of Congress, including some of his fellow Republicans as well as Democrats, over his administration’s decision to sidestep congressional approval to fund its own policy initiatives.
Lawmakers from both parties had said they expected Congress would pass legislation to reinstate the aid for Ukraine if the administration had not released the money. "

nevermind it's a BAD IDEA to fight a proxy war on Russia's border -“It would have been a mistake to hold back our assistance to the brave people of Ukraine. Doing so would have undermined our partners in Ukraine and Eastern Europe and further emboldened the Kremlin.”
the AID WAS RELEASED IN THE FISCAL YEAR

The "overwhelming " evidence by the House Democrats should suffice.
It is the duty of the Senate to evaluate that evidence, not produce it for the lazy Dems.

Hello anatta,
Why is it a bad idea to stand with an ally against a common adversary?

The same could be asked of the left about their support for a common adversary...the state sponsor of terrorism, Iran.

Usually you wait till a trial is complete before making a decision.
Not before it begins.

Donbass is basically Russian with Russian lingua franca, and industrial/economic ties to Russia.
The population that lives there is overwhelmingly Russian.
Let them settle their own border - us providing lethal arms actually prolongs the war.

Not with this Democrat party. Trump was guilty before they even started the enquiry. Now lets make the evidence fit the crime. LOL

Hello Adolf_Twitler,
Standing up for what is right means I only converse with one of them, and I am happy to dispute anti-Americanism even if it is presented in a civil manner.I just have one question!
Why are you trying to reason with ANATTA or EARL?
Asking why we should come to the aid of an ally in a strategic location, which was voted on by an overwhelming majority of the Senate is like asking if we should care about our own country.
Which, apparently, Republicans place second behind their own party.
And that begs of the question: "What good is having party power in a nation whose power becomes subservient to dictator Putin?"
