Now Enter The Trump "Impoundment Control Act" Criminal Violations

[lantern2814]

lesson learned!

THUNDERBOLT and background music...setting

voice over saying;

Do NOT mess with Mother Pelosi!

Really? McConnell slapped her down, essentially telling her to fuck off and pound sand. Don’t mess with Father McConnell or get bitch slapped like Pisslosi the drunk.

McConnell is in a bind. If he hijacks a senate trial, then there is no vindication on the Republican side. Rules are rules. If they are violated, then the party has lost everything. They are no longer a real party. It will become splintered then.

Poor moron. McConnell can’t hijack something he has TOTAL control over you idiot. He makes the rules, not Pisslosi the drunk. You idiots have already lost. Enjoy the slaughter in 2020 as Republicans rule the day.

McConnell doesn't make the rules. The rules are already made in an impeachment trial. If he tries to do away with the trial, then it's on the Republicans. They hijacked the impeachment of Trump by way of their own corruption. That will destroy them for years. 70% of the country wants a senate impeachment trial. That's how significant this is.

You are so stupid it should be painful. McConnell is the leader of the Senate. He can make any rule he wants to put up. It’s not Republicans stalling here idiot. 70% of Dims want a trial you aren’t getting. Hijacking the process? That would be the drunk Pisslosi who is breaking the law by not turning the articles over to the Senate. Damn you are truly an imbecile.

Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 - Wikipedia Trump wanted to hide the money from being exposed by using it for a crime he committed. It really doesn't get much easier than that to understand. And the documents were released proving this was in fact a crime; //www.msnbc.com/am-joy/watch/trump-ukraine-docs-show-concern-withholding-aide-was-illegal-75545157799

There is nothing the Senate can do to justify this treasonous, criminal act by Trump.


Title X of the Act, also known as the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, specifies that the President may request that Congress rescind appropriated funds. If both the Senate and the House of Representatives have not approved a rescission proposal (by passing legislation) within 45 days of continuous session, any funds being withheld must be made available for obligation. Congress is not required to vote on the request, and has ignored most Presidential requests.[4] In response, some[who?] have called for a line item veto to strengthen the rescission power and force Congress to vote on the disputed funds.

The Act was passed in response to feelings in Congress that President Nixon was abusing his power of impoundment by withholding funding of programs he opposed. The Act, especially after Train v. City of New York (1975), effectively removed the presidential power of impoundment.[5]

In late November 2019, the obscure Impoundment Control Act made news during the Trump impeachment investigation, as two budget office staffers resigned over their concerns over apparent improprieties regarding the hold of approved Ukraine military funds. Among the concerns was the questionable transfer of decision-making authority to a political appointee.[6][7][8][9]

Then why isn’t it mentioned in the Articles of Impeachment?

It is. It's an abuse of power.

No moron... It is not an abuse of power. It would be violation of a law that you did not include in the articles of impeachment..

How is that S T R E C H I N G going for you?

In legal terminology, how is it not an abuse of power to hide money that was appropriated by Congress to be used as leverage to blackmail an ally country, where that money was already approved to go to the ally?

Now your projecting Joe Biden's crimes on Trump... Give it up moron..

Sure they are. Keep telling yourself that.

The lower policy attention span of November-December holidays will be over in January. Then there is evidence plus the new evidence, votes in the Senate regarding what happens next. In fact, that is all Republican dominated, (uncontrolled), televised, chaos, dismemberment, and with a Presiding judge.

Aka: Every second is a potential embarrassing moment for the Majority, in the Senate. Sharpening that focus in advance--The Pelosi demand: Is good television, like Rep Schiff reading the Trump Tweet directly to the Mary Poppins-level witness in the Friday testimony of that witness. In the hearings there was a Standing Ovation. In Public There were standing ovations. Republicans on record were embarrassed, Thanks to Rep Schiff.

In the Senate matter: So do the incriminating Tweets embarrass Republicans--baiting and badgering, and even with the usual basis in gender.

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Acknowledging the prayer-day of Christmas, (Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done. . .), When Republican Conservatives even seek deity intervention, (Deut 23: 19-20), for economic ruin, more homeless, more female genitalia mutilation of the babies worldwide, (Matt 25: 14-30), and so on!) Then there are the Catholic and Protestant "Other" groups of Conservative Republican world--Black, Hispanic, Asian, Moslem(?), Pygmy(?), and so on, (All jut alike and all abomination)! More Great Television, when it emerges!)

One thing about the Center for Public Integrity is that it is very low profile, It went to court. It petitioned for documents. The documents released were heavily redacted. They show that Donald John Trump specifically new about the Ukraine Aid in advance of the notorious phone call. They show not just that the aid was illegally held up, but that the political appointees, (RNC), covered up specifically the illegal White House Operations.

Trump Administration officials worried Ukraine aid halt violated spending law – Center for Public Integrity

Congress was specifically by-passed.

The emerging timeline shows that the new Ukraine President--An Actor-Comedian not named Reagan, but a show business personality--was aware of the "investigations" requirement way before July 25. Anyone surmises how Ukraine knew enough to vote. Anyone surmises that his Administration knew about the military assistance. DONALD JOHN TRUMP WAS EVEN DISCUSSING OR GAINING APPROVALS FROM PUTIN, WELL IN ADVANCE OF JULY 25. (That is in timeline, shown in the link--with a possible accurate inference of what was being discussed.) Then everything illegal is outlined in the link.

And the Congressional new Trial Date as yet to be set, likely wherein House Managers can present the full case for Removal from Office. Public employees had enough sense of public service to quit, comparing.

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Even as in,"What does arithmetic have to do with the money?" Deut 23:19-20 e. g.!)

The desperation as the Democrats realize that they have just performed a 3rd world banana republic style coup.

Not only is Tweet Relief a possible outcome, but the military remains intact, the political parties remain in office, and the courts stay open for business.

Now in real time, the Conservative Republicans regard a Fair Trial a coup d'etat. That real Coup d'etat is actually now making the press-publicity. The Senate GOP leadership is taking orders only from the White House. The Senators--not from even their own party--are not included in the government. Senator Murkowski is recently vocal.

The Democrats did bypass the courts--instead bringing the problem to immediate public attention. There is now the press reporting of what the coup d'etat is actually doing to its own partisan prospects.

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Then if Israel expected a Messiah, more likely they meant a subjugating Pharaoh, per Moses, (Deut 23: 19-20). Not even a Moslem appears to be included: Prohibited from wealth from usury, (riba))

That is a non-answer to my question. Stop being a coward and answer the question, or I accept your concession.

That was all o and ukraine joe.

Proof please?

Disputes aside, the July 25 phone call creates sufficient evidence to indict, and so a trial proceeds with competing witness. . . .Only, of course, in America!

Mostly the Trump Economy is even unable to pay its debts: Increasing $1 tril. last year alone, in a Recession level economy.
