And I only know this because I used to read the Military Personnel and Payment Manuals for a living and got really good at translating bureaucratese into people language so I could find more money for folks. It’s a honed skill, like billiards or flossing without cutting off the circulation in your fingertips.
This describes exactly what is failure of this late attempt at justification for the hold. If you are holding up almost $400 million in critically needed aid the was approved by Congress and cleared by the State Department and Defense, you will have a paper trail of contacts, requests for information, agendas and minutes of meetings held to discuss it, and other documentation.
None of that seems to exist. All we have are delusional claims of a server buried somewhere in Ukraine, an organized effort by Ukraine to meddle in the 2016 US election, and emissions from Trump's gut. Claims that contradict not only US intelligence agencies, but those of our allies. Claims supported only by Putin, Giuliani, and some corrupt Ukrainian prosecutors with links to Putin and who were fired.
After the fact justifications are generally bullshit meant to cover your ass.
What'd I miss?
Except that was already covered by the DOD certification process, you slithering festering obfuscatory maggot.

Are we sure Trump War room isn't a parody account? Their self-owns are epic.

I’ll make tacos al pastor in her honor. I’ll even throw in some añejo tequila that’s lurking in the freezer—for flavor < winks >.
May you go far and make good music : D
I can't wait for president sanders to hold up aid to israel until they get their "corruption problem" taken care of
They've taken a giant step in that direction already, I think. I can't imagine this shitshow ending any way but badly.
Gee, it sounds as if Biff never wanted to give aid to Ukraine in the first place and was only forced to by Congress and the Whistleblower.
Wow
I too contemplate fortuitous happenstance in this regard. Our moon is a beautiful thing.
"slithering festering obfuscatory maggot!" hahahaha brilliant!
Yup. He was going to extort them AND stiff them.
Today is my literally can't even day. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
I'm going back to trying to figure out where the cat is hiding.
