Well I could not read the article but will make an input nevertheless. In budgeting we have 3 cardinal rules to follow. They are Purpose, Time, and Amount. Obviously the Purpose and Amount justified funding Ukraine, but it becomes suspicious that the Time to fund Ukraine took almost a year.

The timing could come down to poor mismanagement, incompetence or just purely deliberate intent by leaders. Keep in mind when Congress voted by large bipartisan numbers to impose stricter sanctions on Russia the WH waited 20 days to order those sanctions implemented by the OMB and Treasury Dept. Sometimes ones intent carries over to timing.

SPC Rice. Not true. I worked on the military aid package that went to Ukraine during Obama's second term.

They should see my wife's email about what's for dinner and what I need to run by the store to pickup. She can give any politician a run for their money.

If the White House and the State Department would just turn over the requested documents and allow their employees and ex-employees to testify, we could actually get to the entire truth of this matter.
What more are they hiding?

MAJ James Woods - again, based off of the available transcript that those who listened in on said was "substantially accurate," holding out for the whole thing is the same recycled argument from CNN to see the whole Mueller report hoping their is a kernel that would lead to President Trump's impeachment. And SGT John S. - is correct on executive privilege (which is another rabbit whole of a discussion).

The Dems had their chance to establish their case, but, instead they blew it on hearsay and interpretations instead of cold hard facts. And here they are again throwing whatever they can against the wall to see what sticks.

SSG (Join to see) Again a summary of what different people remembered what was said. A transcript is a copy of the original content that’s usually dictated or recorded; thus, created at time of event not days later. Once you acknowledge the difference between what’s released and what wasn’t we can continue to talk about facts vs. opinion.
