There is a requirement for funds to be disbursed by Sep 30 end of govt fiscal year. Except that legislation was passed on Sep 19 to extend the deadline. We can reasonably assume that some democrats voted to enact that extension legislation. So where’s the beef?
We should clear our books IF we have the money to allocate or UNLESS there are extenuating circumstances. Example one, we’re behind in our payments to Messico by billions. But it was more important to America to address our own costs of billions in flood and hurricane damage. Messico can wait. Example two, if we allocate a billion for Messico this month, and they declare war on us in August, or it’s discovered last year’s billion went into the cartels pockets, there is no law that says we have to give them any additional allocated billion by September.
And, since we’re at the calculating board, since Ukraine and Russia are signing a cease-fire, then where’s our refund of funds not spent directly on war? And why are we sending more money for a war that isn’t happening?
The only beef I can find is that the “delay” _may_ have been 3 days longer than a required maximum of 45 days.
That explains why Schiff popped up on 9/10 - two days after the 45-day limit.
But still doesn’t detail two salient points:
1. What legally constitutes the timestamps for the delay? (i.e.: was it actually after, vs on, the 45th day?)
2. If the 45 day requirement was in fact broken, why is the exact law involved not referenced, by link nor quote, in the Articles of Impeachment?
Leftists just can’t deal with how Trump plays big-money hardball - by the rules.
