More lies. Sad!

I didn't.  I read a couple of articles that Nancy wasn't quoted in, one of them was a Fox News article, then I formed my own opinion about it. Has Nancy said anything today? I have no idea.

Are you claiming that the factoid in red was something you happened to keep in a corner of your mind? Or did you read it somewhere like CNN as refutation (a failed one at that) of today's "many countries" statement? If so, are you confident that Schiff didn't just make it up for them like he has so many other lies?

Well I remember the withholding for Lebanon and the one for Pakistan being in the news, and the administration was quoted in those articles saying it was because they were concerned that bad guys might skim that money/ weapons away. I assume they must have told Congress why, if they told the press why.
But also one of the articles I read today had a quote from Senator Stabenow confirming that Congress was informed in all cases but Ukraine. I guess Debbie is kind of like Nancy. But I digress. Neither Congress nor the oress about Ukraine's aid getting withheld until there was a whistleblower.
