Trump was hired to root out corruption since he can’t be bought. Deal with it. End of s
story.

GOP Congress appropriated military aid for Ukraine. Obama blocked it. Why is the GOP not screaming this from the top of the capitol dome? It’s baffling to me.

Laura Cooper is a career member of the Senior Executive Service.

I first heard about these 'made' men (and women) of the SES a couple of years ago. Apparently that IRS troll, Lois Lerner, was one - as well as a few other untouchable deep staters. The SES should be deep-sixed.

Dearest laura, you worthless sack of ****: Resign immediately. All you are is a loser LIB who has managed to steal money from taxpayers for decades. Hopefully, you will be fired or arrested. By the way...I think you are pathetic and embittered by being such a life-loser.

Well we aren’t suppose to just give aid to foreign governments for no reason, there are always strings attached.

Yeah. It’s not like any of us would be pissed off if Obongo or Clinton did any of this kind of stuff with their executive power. What’s the big deal?

Members of the SES qualify for performance bonuses.

"over the summer"

So then beyotch, what date would that be?

"so she was surprised when one of her subordinates told her that a hold had been placed on the funds after an interagency meeting in July."

You heard? more hearsay?

Ukraine has been a mess for a long time.

The remake of The Italian Job made a joke about it...

"That was to stop the bribe money going to the Bidens."

It makes me wonder if the Biden's, and their associates made any money with the recent deal of China buying British Steel Limited. Who knows how far their fingers reach.

President Trump has said over and over again, he wanted to check to see if steps were being taken to end the CORRUPTION.

Ukraine was A MESS. He had every right to hold up the funds.

Every contract that requires money to pass has simple terms and conditions before the money passes for the items being purchased.

Just a hodge podge of disconnected events. She should have had a time line herself. It was all blah, blah, blah.

“Pentagon official testifies Trump directed freeze on aid to Ukraine”

“Laura Cooper, the top Pentagon official OVERSEEING U.S. policy regarding Ukraine,...”

Oversee isn’t exactly my take on it.

They may observe and make sure things are being enacted properly, but the President of the United States is the person who oversees.

Am I being too nit-picky?

Another nameless bureaucrat that has been given a job that is higher than her talent and intellect.
