There was plainly NO appropriation for these funds.
The person who authorized them was acting outside the scope of appropriation law.
There are both criminal and civil sanctions plus losing ones job at stake.
But here is the kicker, who enforces this law? The same AG who refuses to bring an indictment against Hitlery and the same office that refused to provide any info to Congress regarding the Fast and Furious disaster.
Upshot: We have no controlling legal authority and are now operating as an imperial presidency.
Solution: Lamp posts for all.
