It was released because he got caught.

Don’t forget that they couldn’t come up with a legal justification to hold it up any longer.

It was released 2 days after a whistleblower filed a complaint that it was being held up until the president of Ukraine announced an investigation into Biden.

No matter how much you try to spin your fable. The facts remain!

The President had been consulting with his national security leadership team to determine the best use of Ukraine security assistance funds to achieve US national security interests,” Office of Management and Budget staff wrote in an email to House Appropriations Committee staff aides. Agencies, OMB said, “must wait to obligate them until the policy review process is complete and the President had made a final determination.

The funds were appropriated in February. Trump released them in September. It doesn't take 7 months to determine if Ukraine would succumb to Trump's favors. Meanwhile, on September 9th, a whistleblower filed a complaint that Trump was holding up the funds for favors and wouldn't you know, on September 11th, Trump finally releases the funds from February.

Actually the whistleblower filed his report August 12th.

The congress finally got it after trump tried to bury it. The congress received notice of the whistleblower's report on September 9th. On the same day, 3 House committees announced they were investigating whether trump and giuliani tried to extort the president of Ukraine into announcing that investigation.

Two days later, trump released the funds.

Trump Knew of Whistle-Blower Complaint When He Released Aid to Ukraine

They were all demonstrably more loyal to the nation than to Trump, as you’d expect from a career civil servant.
Makes perfect sense.

"Deep State Status Quo Good"
"Orange Man Bad"

Trump went around them because that’s what you do when you’re abusing your office.

If It's So 'Iron Clad'

Rightard mantra ... if I throw out terms like, 'deep state', 'orange man bad', 'hoax', 'fake news', etc., then I don't actually have to debate any points.

*The statement goes on to say, "His evidence and potential testimony is non-partisan, and not intended to be part of a battle between the left and the right, but rather an aid in the determination by our government of what is in the best interests of our nation."*

Gee, imagine if Bolton, Giuliani, Perry, Pompeo, and of course the criminal known as Don felt they too should do what is in the best interests of the country. What a world that would be.

Emails Reveal WH’s Scramble To Explain Ukraine Aid Delay After The Fact
WaPo: Emails Reveal WH's Scramble To Explain Ukraine Aid Delay After The Fact

"Internal emails reportedly reveal how the White House had to come up with a legal justification for delaying the congressionally-approved military aid to Ukraine after President Donald Trump had frozen the funds in July."

It has already been reported Pentagon officials had concluded the withholding of military aid was illegal. That crime could be added to the crime of soliciting foreign aid in a US election as articles of impeachment. Along with abuses of power, witness tampering, lying to Mueller, and obstructing both the impeachment inquiry and the Mueller investigation. Don may have the dubious distinction of setting a record for the number of impeachable offenses to be included in the articles of impeachment.

I mean, the Soviet Star Chamber and the Stalinist Show Trials went so well for you fucking Communist traitors, what could go wrong?

Trump Learned Of Whistleblower Complaint Just Before He Released Ukraine Aid
Trump Learned Of Whistleblower Complaint Just Before He Released Ukraine Aid

"President Donald Trump learned of the whistleblower’s complaint in late August, just before he released the frozen military aid to Ukraine in September.

According to the New York Times, that debriefing by White House lawyers Pat Cipollone and John Eisenberg could also explain where Trump got the phrase “quid pro quo,” which he used on a call around the same time to Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland, before it had become the default phrase to describe the situation."

Two WH Budget Officials Resigned After Expressing Concern About Ukraine Holds, Witness Testified

Two officials, including a department lawyer, resigned in part due to concerns about the holds
Sandy testified about two officials who he said resigned, at least in part, in response to the holds.

One, in the budget office’s International Affairs Division, “expressed some frustrations about not understanding the reason for the hold,” Sandy testified. That division was responsible for the State Department’s nine-figure aid package to Ukraine.

The second person to resign, an official from OMB’s legal office, “expressed concerns about actions vis-a-vis the Impoundment Control Act” in the context of the Ukraine money, Sandy said.
