More lies. Sad!

The last time I checked, My natural right to confront my accuser trumps a statute pertaining to the actions of the Inspector General.  Especially in this case where it is alleged that the leaker would have been a subject in any investigation of the Biden's.

And you know what, you're right.  There is no need for me to get personally offended.  It is perfectly plausible that you are just incapable of understanding the points that I make or comprehending the level of your own ignorance on certain topics.  Silly me, I must have forgotten.  

under the 1974 Impoundment Control Act, you don't have to notify congress of a temporary hold if the funds are ultimately going to be spent before the end of the fiscal year.  That would have occurred on 9-30-2019.  The funds flowed between 9-11-19 and 9-12-19. 

As for national interest, foreign aid money is TAX PAYER money.  That means that making sure that it is well Spent is in EVERYONES interest.  Joe Biden's administration lost 7 billion dollars in aid money to Ukraine.  Crimes against the United States are by definition in the NATIONAL INTEREST.  (That means everyone's)  Potential violations of the Foreign corrupt practices act, (mandating that companies or governments take your son and his roommate as board members) are in the national interest.  Extorting a foreign power falls under the same purview.  Asking that these potential violations be investigated serves the NATIONAL INTEREST (I'm assuming you know what national means....  If I have to slow down for you please let me know.)  There is more than enough probable cause to warrant an investigation.  In order to prove CORRUPT INTENT (Corrupt intent means that mean old trump was only doing this to hurt lunch pale joe because he didn't want to get into a push up contest) then you would have to show that no REASONABLE (not never trump sissies) PERSON would see anything wrong with Joe Biden's son and his college roommate taking money from the most corrupt (as designated by the state department under the Obama administration) Oligarch in Ukraine and getting  a prosecutor fired.    

Now, if you don't understand any part of that then I'm here to help you.  I'll answer any question you have.  I tried to look for a crayon font but gosh darn it they didn't have one.  But just continuing to spout the debunked trite maddow spin is getting embarrassing bruh.  How much water can you carry for these people?
