Can Collins win without Republicans? It seems every time there is a big vote it’s Dems she’s afraid of.

Faux News had a SERIOUS defender here yesterday, pontificating to us that they represent conservatives and should not be disparaged.

(In my posting history)

This GAO farce is a deep state desparation kamikaze attack that is being debunked as we converse. Trying to insulate themselves against what is headed their way. Expect other desperation attacks which will be ineffective too.

“The big losers here are Delecto Murkowski Collins, Alexander and Lee. They will have to put their tails up their ass and vote against impeachment even though they really want to.“

Seems like the opposite to me, it’s more like this gives them cover to vote with the rats.

Deep State Unmasked, U.S. GAO Auditor Admits “I Break Rules Every Day”

United States GAO (Government Accountability Office) Auditor Pushes Socialist Agenda During Work Hours: “No one knows I spent six hours yesterday doing social media for DSA.” (Democratic Socialists of America)
Resistance Against Administration’s Agenda: “If you’re in an Executive Branch agency, you can slow ball things to a degree… maybe you get fired or resign or whatever, but you slowed [Trump’s agenda] down.”

On His DSA Membership: “…it’s a socialist organization and we want to destroy capitalists.”

“We have a bunch of just like communists, like no prefix, and that’s basically me.”

GAO Auditor: “Do I care more about having this job, or do I care more about the [DSA] movement, and I was like… obviously the movement.”

GAO Auditor Admission: “I break rules every day… at any point I can get fired.”

But no aid was withheld.

Now, where is the concern over the billions that have gone missing in Ukraine? Does GAO have a position on that?


This.

Another deep stater in another bureaucracy screams at the wind with a completely flawed analysis to the cheers of the partisans.

This is a government agency, not a court. Government agencies have to go through the courts like everyone else.

BS!

There is no action taken by this administration that wasn’t done by any other administration.

When is Biden going to be investigated for obstruction of justice in interfering with an ally’s judicial actions to further his personal business interests?!

Do these people WANT a civil war? Because that’s what they’re going to get if they impeach Trump.

He released the aid within the time granted by Congress. Therefore it was never actually withheld. Just one of the many important reasons this opinion is ridiculous.

It is being taken away as we type. The funds were not illegally dealt with. This only opens questions as to GAO/deep state duplicity. It isn’t going to be so easy for them . This is war and shooting is a two street. You can bet that there is Intel against them that will be used if necessary.

Check the background. Law does NOT say they have to be dispersed immediately, says they have to be dispersed “by the end of the fiscal year. They were so this GAO announcements is pure partisan drivel without a shred of fact to it.

An Obama appointee made this decision. The OMB says they are wrong. Says delays in disbursements are normal in these situation. OMB is actually the people that manages disbursements

Just another example of the total political corruption of the Democrat Fascist party. Any judgement by a Democrat appointee of this sort in the last 3 years, Judicial or otherwise, has been overturned by higher authority as being merit-less
