    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    My understanding is that Congress mandated the Whitehouse to vet foreign aid packages before releasing the money. That is what they were doing.

    A) This is the GAO. They are not in a position to judge legality.

    B) The aid was not withheld, it was disbursed within the proscribed time limits.

    Fail.

    Utter nonsense.

    What the GAO has, is something called EXPERT KNOWLEDGE on the subject in question.

    They also have something called HIGH CREDIBILITY in matters related to the subject in question.

    Something else they have.... LAWYERS.

    Lots of them.

    From their website:

    What GAO Lawyers Do

    GAO's Office of the General Counsel (OGC) serves GAO and the Congress, following the federal dollar wherever it goes. The scope and depth of our legal expertise is unparalleled in the federal government. Check out our blog post on GAO's Attorneys.

    Most of our attorneys are assigned to teams to provide legal advice, analysis, and services to the Comptroller General and GAO analysts assessing federal programs. These services can fall under such diverse practice areas as:

    homeland security and immigration
    environment and energy
    banking and financial services regulation
    health care
    administrative law and regulatory process
    telecommunications
    federal contracts
    information technology
    criminal law
    constitutional law
    legislative drafting and analysis

    We also have a group of attorneys who act as quasi-administrative law judges to resolve disputes over the award of federal contracts. Read more about our bid protest process.

    Another group serves as the federal government’s experts on appropriations law. Read more about our appropriations law work.

    In addition, some of our attorneys serve as in-house counsel to GAO. We deal with a variety of issues in equal employment opportunity, personnel, and labor laws. We also represent GAO in administrative hearings and litigation involving GAO’s work.

    https://www.gao.gov/about/careers/ca...legal-careers/
    You Trumpturds are tripping all over yourselves trying to downplay the significance of their statement and disparage them as not being a very powerful or influential agency of the Federal govt, but you're just running your mouths and proving not only how stupid you are, but how desperately in denial you are to boot.

    Fucking bunch of clowns just like Trump.

    1) Trump temporarily withheld funds to investigate a new president of a known corrupt government, as required by law.

    2) The GAO's biased legal opinions have been repeatedly laughed out of Washington.

    3) If this is suddenly the standard, then Biden DEFINITELY broke the law when he extorted Ukraine into firing the prosecutor investigating his own corruption.

    4) By this convenient out-of-the-blue new standard, Trump's "violation" is JAYWALKING compared to Obama's crime-spree of a presidency. Obama defied Congress and the courts at every turn, unilaterally starting illegal wars without Congress, passing laws without Congress, refusing to enforce laws passed by Congress, and even enforcing laws already removed from the books...but Trump wanting to investigate already proven corruption...THAT'S the REAL scandal here.

    Exactly. Because the drug cartels own the Mexican govt. As it turns out, both programs failed to achieve the desired result.

    It's more than that. GAO has a history of having to reverse faulty legal opinions that were discredited and exposed as biased, as with their findings on the reimbursement of federal employee travel costs and their embarrassingly garbage logic on pocket rescission, which contradicted almost half a century of precedent. There is a REASON the OMB is contradicting these partisan hacks as they rush in to influence impeachment with this perfectly timed BS.

    It good to see you spewing the garbage from Fox and Friends. Do you ever have an original thought of your own?
