See the actual break down of how the first $125 million was spent in a fact sheet graphic posted at from their July 2019 edition of "In Focus."  It confirms that the first $125 million was already "provided" by July, and it also mentions the second $125-million tranche:

The $125 million in aid listed above is only half of the DoD's intended $250 million in security aid for FY19.

They need Trump GONE.

I don’t care if this doesn’t work, then it will be something else

And something else.

They are treating him like John Gotti.

Unlimited funds and resources and a chamber of congress to throw at him.

Taking back the house has become very important.

The whistle leaker (ERIC CIARAMELLA, That's right, I said it) got it wrong, too.  The Sept. 27, 2019 AP article also states:

The whistleblower has said that Trump in July had issued an order to suspend the delivery of $250 million in Pentagon aid and $141 million is State Department funds but that the White House had not given an explanation.

Bunk.  Half of the $250 million was spent by July.  Trump did not withhold "nearly $400 million in military aid from Ukraine."  He had no unilateral executive mechanism available to cut, defer, or threaten the same.  Those mechanisms change "budget authority."  Doing so without congressional approval is unconstitutional.  Trump knows this, because the GAO informed him back on September 10, 2018. 

This is how they do it, folks.  Hysteria begins from an anonymous whistle leaker with bogus facts that drive the narrative, until the story takes on a life of its own, and it's too late to put the genie back in the bottle.
