GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia says that the newly announced special counsel investigations of former President Donald Trump will be "defunded" after Republicans seize control of the House....
...The Holman Rule, which was introduced to the House in 1876, allows members of Congress to propose amendments to appropriations bills...
...Republican lawmakers attempted to use the rule multiple times in 2017 and 2018, with none of their amendments ultimately passing.,,,

She also has introduced legislation for a full audit of every penny sent Ukraine.
More power to her and hope others will side/support her efforts.
Won’t she have to reintroduce that legislation early next year when the new Congress takes over?
Heard about that this morning on Eric Von Hessler show this morning. He pointed out that he doesn’t remember ANYBODY back when this UKR/RUS stuff started who actually debated or wanted to debate whether this country should get into it. The matter was unilaterally decided by Presidential edict with the MIC and Pentagon brass following behind like the lickspittle lackeys the are. NO Accounting of where the money went, who got it, who raked off from the top or what happened to the weapons and aid provided. Just Zelensky carping about how “it’s not enought.”
But no talk of using the Holman rule to defund the USPS until the Dem mail in ballot fraud machine is dismantled.
The legislation to audit all money to Ukraine has already been introduced.

And arguably, if a full forensic audit is done of FTX and that Bernie Madoff and ENRON level fiasco, that may well act as or produce yet another audit of money sent to Ukraine.
Which party would benefit from delaying people’s documents, letters and packages next Election Day and probably every Election Day for years to come?
I’m not even sure the USPS gets federal funding anymore.
Pretty sure Ubuku’s Democrat congress pulled funding in 2009-10
What do you think the odds of that happening, especially when your House is conducing investigations into Hunter and Joe Biden?
sounds it would stop legislation from the senate
a poison pill
I have no problem with audits. There is already a US General that is dedicated to ensure proper controls.
But I want to see more US aid to Ukraine. More HIMARS, More long range rockets. Bring this war to a swift end, and a total victory for Ukraine, for the benefit of Ukraine, Russia and the world.
Then figure out reparations. Sounds like the UN is already about to give Ukraine the frozen Russian reserves. But Russia should also provide Lumber and Steel at cost to help rebuild Ukraine.
Bury her bill in a “must pass” bill. They’ll never find it.
What is a MIC? An Irishman?
:0).....it means Military Industrial Complex. It’s a pretty widely used term. The companies that make all those weapons we’re giving to UKR and now have to replenish.
Funding goes thru the house.
the problem with armaments is, the US only produces X amount during peacetime, and Ukraine is going thru a year’s worth of X in about 2 weeks..... The armaments provided by the EU/Nato partners is a pittance in comparison to what the US has provided. The cost of replacing X amount should also be considered in the final tally since it is always more expensive to restock (increased cost of labor/materials, etc).
We survived a horrible TWO YEARS.
I think the next two will be better...not great...but better.
Well it sounds like we are buying a lot of armaments new for Ukraine, as opposed to using armaments in stock.
Not in all cases, but that’s one of the reasons we haven’t delivered more HIMARS. We’re waiting on them to be produced, instead of shipping 100 out of inventory. (100 HIMARS is what the Pentagon said early on we could spare without reducing our combat readiness).
And yeah we only produce x amount during peacetime. But we should always be prepared to ramp production quickly when it suddenly ceases to be peace time. We should keep spare production capacity at all times whether we are currently using it or not.
