LOLAnd Zelensky knew Trump as well as he did? Zelensky said he felt absolutely no pressure from Trump, but you're going to take his imprisoned lawyers word for it instead. Shokin stated he was indeed on the tail of Burisma, but you're going to take the Democrats word for it that he wasn't.
Seems to me you on the left don't like direct witnesses, You like "he said" "she said" information and base your claims on that. Second hand, third hand, fourth hand information is just fine with you, but direct information is to be ignored and even called unreliable.
Sure Zelensky is going to provide cover for Trump. He needs US aid. Throwing the president under the bus would mean he has to wait until the next election.
No, I think even Zelensky knew that he could pressure Trump into releasing the money. That's besides the fact it was only held for a few weeks. The arm of the Democrat party--the MSM would have seen to that.
The President has to have a legitimate reason for holding on to the aid. Trump was checking things out and monitoring other UN countries to see what they were going to do.
What card did Zelensky have to pressure Trump?
Trump had the military aid Zelensky desperately needed.......he needed some personal favors first
A Ukrainian investigation of Biden actually hurts Trump, however. Nothing would please President Trump more than if the Democrat Party were to nominate Sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe isn't all there, and President Trump likes competing against the Mentally Deficient.
The last thing Donald J. Trump would want to do is to knock him out of the race.
So why do you think Trump and his goons are fighting to dig dirt against Biden? They even include Hunter as part of the attack. That’s how desperate these corrupted people are.
Why? We know that Biden have a very good chance of dethroning that 11 yo king out of the WH?
And this is where the lies are. Trump never demanded anything.

Look at you Ray. Using Russian propaganda talking points like a pro. What you posted is flat out lies and misstatements.
Actions speak louder than words Ray. Zelenskey is in no position to call Trump a liar when Trump sits next to him and says he didn't pressure Zelensky. We've seen how Trump treats those who don't go along with his lies. We have direct evidence from staffers that the Ukrainians were asking questions about their aid that indicated that they knew their aid was being held up.
Last but not least, Zelensky, scheduled an interview with CNN as directed, to announce investigations, and then cancelled the interview when the aid was released.
We had a LOT of direct witnesses: Sondland, Morrison, Yovanavich, Volker, Vindland.
Last but not least: IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THE PRESIDENT TO WITHHOLD FOREIGN AID OF ANY KIND, ONCE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE HAS APPROVED THE AID. IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR TRUMP TO WITHHOLD THE AID IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Shows you know nothing of what you're talking about. Didn't you watch the inquiries? If holding aid (that's always passed by Congress first) is illegal, then every President in the last 30 years is guilty. A President DOES have the right to withhold aid for whatever his reason may be. If it's illegal, then let's see Obama put on trial.
I never heard of this CNN thing. Care to provide a link? And what Ukrainians were asking questions about the aid when Zelensky didn't even know it was being held up?
Dude you are out of order.
Yes we watched the hearing. Your statements came from Republicans bullshit defense.
Trump withhold the aid as a leverage to dig dirt against his political rival. Pure and simple. Abuse of power.
Impeach that piece of shit Trump.

How did he desperately need it when he didn't even know it was being held up? Of course free money is good money, but remember, Trump provided military aid prior to that unlike Obama.
are you ever gonna get your head outa donny's colon, raymond?
Ukraine Knew of Aid Freeze by Early August, Undermining Trump Defense
Top officials were told in early August about the delay of $391 million in security assistance, undercutting a chief argument President Trump has used to deny any quid pro quo.
By Andrew E. Kramer and Kenneth P. Vogel
KIEV, Ukraine — To Democrats who say that President Trump’s decision to freeze $391 million in military aid was intended to bully Ukraine’s leader into carrying out investigations for Mr. Trump’s political benefit, the president and his allies have had a simple response: There was no quid pro quo because the Ukrainians did not know assistance had been blocked.
- Published Oct. 23, 2019Updated Oct. 24, 2019
Ukraine’s military struggled in a bare-bones fight against Russian-backed separatists.
But then on Tuesday, William B. Taylor Jr., the top United States diplomat in Kiev, told House impeachment investigators that the freeze was directly linked to Mr. Trump’s demand. That did not deter the president, who on Wednesday approvingly tweeted a quote by a congressional Republican saying neither Mr. Taylor nor any other witness had “provided testimony that the Ukrainians were aware that military aid was being withheld.”
In fact, word of the aid freeze had gotten to high-level Ukrainian officials by the first week in August, according to interviews and documents obtained by The New York Times.
The problem was not bureaucratic, the Ukrainians were told. To address it, they were advised, they should reach out to Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, according to the interviews and records.
The timing of the communications, which have not previously been reported, shows that Ukraine was aware the White House was holding up the funds weeks earlier than acknowledged.
It also means that the Ukrainian government was aware of the freeze during most of the period in August when Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani and two American diplomats were pressing President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine to make a public commitment to the investigations.

The Impoundment Control Act of 1974: What Is It? Why Does It Matter?
Oct 23, 2019
Download PDF
What is the Impoundment Control Act?
The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (ICA) reasserted Congress’ power of the purse. Specifically, Title X of the Act – “Impoundment Control” – established procedures to prevent the President and other government officials from unilaterally substituting their own funding decisions for those of the Congress. The Act also created the House and Senate Budget Committees and the Congressional Budget Office.
Why was the ICA necessary?
Congress passed the ICA in response to President Nixon’s executive overreach – his Administration refused to release Congressionally appropriated funds for certain programs he opposed. While the U.S. Constitution broadly grants Congress the power of the purse, the President – through the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and executive agencies – is responsible for the actual spending of funds. The ICA created a process the President must follow if he or she seeks to delay or cancel funding that Congress has provided.
What does it mean to ‘impound’ funds?
An “impoundment” is any action – or inaction – by an officer or employee of the federal government that precludes federal funds from being obligated[1] or spent, either temporarily or permanently.
How does the ICA work?
The ICA lays out procedures the President must follow to reduce, delay, or eliminate funding in an account. The Act divides impoundments into two categories: rescissions and deferrals.

LOLThe President was violating the Constitution and it was reported. Demanding a bribe while in public office is against the oath of office.So where in the Constitution does it say for rats to report the President on anything? Unethical? Show me a law against unethical and how it's defined. How is that defending the Constitution when the word ethical is not even in the document.
Impeachment is for violations of high crimes and misdemeanors, neither of which Trump is guilty of. Furthermore the leaker is part of the deep state given the weak case he made for reporting this call. Trump did nothing wrong. He didn't demand a quid pro quo. He has every right to ask another leader to "look into" possible corruption by the past administration, even if one of them is currently running for the nomination of his party.
It was reported, investigated by the IG and found to be a valid concern
It is now in the hands of Congress
That is not Deep State, that is the way our Constitutional Government is supposed to work
And this is where the lies are. Trump never demanded anything.

An “impoundment” is any action – or inaction – by an officer or employee of the federal government that precludes federal funds from being obligated[1] or spent, either temporarily or permanently.
How does the ICA work?
The ICA lays out procedures the President must follow to reduce, delay, or eliminate funding in an account. The Act divides impoundments into two categories: rescissions and deferrals.

Obama ends freeze on U.S. military aid to Egypt
U.S. Suspends $800 Million In Aid To Pakistan
And what personal “favors” did Obama receive?
That is why Trump is being impeached
No, her claim was that quid pro quo's are illegal period. Simply pointing out she has no idea what she's talking about. So where is this personal favor Trump received?
That is ridiculous
Quid pro quo’s happen in everyday life. It is how business works
But using political power in return for personal favors is a quid pro quo that will get you impeached
The money was held up per Trumps demands. It was released when news of the whistleblower complaint surfacedwrong yet again, ray ray. the prez cannot hold aid without following strict guidelines & donny simply did not do that.

What is the Impoundment Control Act?
The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (ICA) reasserted Congress’ power of the purse. Specifically, Title X of the Act – “Impoundment Control” – established procedures to prevent the President and other government officials from unilaterally substituting their own funding decisions for those of the Congress. The Act also created the House and Senate Budget Committees and the Congressional Budget Office.
Why was the ICA necessary?
Congress passed the ICA in response to President Nixon’s executive overreach – his Administration refused to release Congressionally appropriated funds for certain programs he opposed. While the U.S. Constitution broadly grants Congress the power of the purse, the President – through the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and executive agencies – is responsible for the actual spending of funds. The ICA created a process the President must follow if he or she seeks to delay or cancel funding that Congress has provided.

Well there was no personal favor. In fact, the money was released with no strings attacked, therefore no quid pro quo.

Doesn’t really support Trumps claims of innocence
Look at you Ray. Using Russian propaganda talking points like a pro. What you posted is flat out lies and misstatements.
Actions speak louder than words Ray. Zelenskey is in no position to call Trump a liar when Trump sits next to him and says he didn't pressure Zelensky. We've seen how Trump treats those who don't go along with his lies. We have direct evidence from staffers that the Ukrainians were asking questions about their aid that indicated that they knew their aid was being held up.
Last but not least, Zelensky, scheduled an interview with CNN as directed, to announce investigations, and then cancelled the interview when the aid was released.
We had a LOT of direct witnesses: Sondland, Morrison, Yovanavich, Volker, Vindland.
Last but not least: IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THE PRESIDENT TO WITHHOLD FOREIGN AID OF ANY KIND, ONCE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE HAS APPROVED THE AID. IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR TRUMP TO WITHHOLD THE AID IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Shows you know nothing of what you're talking about. Didn't you watch the inquiries? If holding aid (that's always passed by Congress first) is illegal, then every President in the last 30 years is guilty. A President DOES have the right to withhold aid for whatever his reason may be. If it's illegal, then let's see Obama put on trial.
I never heard of this CNN thing. Care to provide a link? And what Ukrainians were asking questions about the aid when Zelensky didn't even know it was being held up?
wrong yet again, ray ray. the prez cannot hold aid without following strict guidelines & donny simply did not do that.
