Explain what?

[JonPreston]

Explain why an audit of taxpayer money going to Ukraine is irrelevant.

[dinodino]

Pick up a rifle and fly to Ukraine to fight on your own dime then.

[frnewsjunkie]

Anyone on congress doing this kind of entrapment to the President, is not fit to be a representative of our country.
They have reached the point of non redeemable. They sunk to “whatever”.. Trump does not deserve what the media and the haters have done.Said.

>Explain why an audit of taxpayer money going to Ukraine is irrelevant.

A: ‘Cuz govt has ZERO Const. authority to bequeath penny ONE of taxpayer $ via ‘foreign aide’ to ANY ONE/WHERE. Thus, an audit is moot.

Course, many on FR love to debate as if Step1 (authority) were a “given fact”

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Jon, the question was/is how much has been committed, and in what proportions, not whether any of it may have been misused. As we know, some has been. Having been a Russian satrapy for so long pretty much guaranteed that official corruption was the rule rather than the exception. Poroshenko may have been better than Yanukovych, but he still turned out to be pretty bad. (Remember that it was Poroshenko's regime that Biden was playing footsie with.) Zelensky was elected in reaction. Since he didn't come from a deep background as an oligarch, he has to have been less prone to it. He fired a bunch of top officials in 2023 for embezzlement and bribery. The very fact that he was able to do this at all shows that somebody is auditing the books. Maybe you're jealous that he isn't sharing these audits with you, but why should he?

[Vaduz]

Funding for Ukraine is futile it lost Russia already took enough land and has access to the black sea Putin is just draining our money supply and the dumb ass democrats and Rinos take the bait.

[JonPreston]

the question was/is how much has been committed

No, the question is, why you believe an audit of US taxpayer money sent to Ukraine is irrelevant

Please explain.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Your question my have to do with audits, but the statement I made in post #17 was that most of the monies allocated were going to military assistance. That turns out to be more than half, by quite a bit. You keep changing the subject. "Winning the internet" seems to be your focus, instead of getting at facts.

[JonPreston]

An audit is irrelevant

Why is an audit on nearly $200bn in US tax dollaer irrelevant?

Jon, it’s an easy task for CFR or the Kiel Institute to sum up the moneys given to Ukraine by looking at appropriations documents.

An audit is irrelevant.

Demanding one is merely obfuscation on your part.

An audit is irrelevant because it doesn't take an audit to determine how much money has been allocated. That information is public knowledge as tabulated by CFR and the Kiel Institute. And that's my final word, since you are deliberately avoiding that simple fact in your drive to confuse FR readers.

This is the second time you've said this

While your concern is on the amount of money spent, the American people deserve to know if all transactions are in full accordance with the law of land. That is the purpose of an audit. That this doesn't interest you speaks volumes. I won't let you forget what you have said on this thread.
