Democrats call for ethics probe into GOP "trackers" in House buildings - CBS News https://apple.news/A0gDAmFjZS9mnPpPggfg6eA

“House ethics rules prohibiting the use of official resources for political purposes exist in large part to establish and maintain decorum and order in the House of Representatives,”

This House of Representatives under the likes of Pelosi, Schiff, & Nadler HAS no Decorum Or Order!😂

Or this...

Last July, when the Washington Post ran an op-ed saying that McConnell “is, arguably more than any other American, doing Russian president Vladimir Putin’s bidding,” after he blocked numerous bills intended to prevent election meddling—including one that would have required presidential campaigns to report any offers of assistance from agents of foreign governments—McConnell had a massive conniption on the Senate floor. “I was called unpatriotic, un-American, and, essentially, treasonous by a couple of left-wing pundits on the basis of boldfaced lies,” he whined. “I was accused of ‘aiding and abetting’ the very man I’ve singled out as our adversary and opposed for nearly 20 years: Vladimir Putin.”

An undated note from a guy indicted on multiple federal charges of fraud and conspiracy who's already fabricated evidence in a desperate attempt to get an immunity deal from Schiff and Pelosi so he can avoid prison? That's the new smoking gun? LOL.

These Dems have no pride.  No honor.  Desperation has reduced them into low life scum.   

Imo, instead of the Senate holding a trial, the farce that took place in the House should be taken to the SCOTUS for validation.  I suspect SCOTUS would throw out the House Impeachment based on the 5th Amendment.  It’s obvious that it in no way resembled “due process”, and was nothing more than a partisan hack job.

Watchdogs and whistleblowers just won't give the Trump White House a break, when it comes to breaking the law or committing impeachable offenses, dang it!

Watchdog: White House violated law in freezing Ukraine aid

Senate set to accept the articles of impeachme

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House violated federal law in withholding security assistance to Ukraine, an action at the center of President Donald Trump's impeachment, a federal watchdog agency said Thursday.

T he Government Accountability Office said in a report that the Office of Management and Budget violated the law in holding up the aid, which Congress passed less than a year ago, saying “the President is not vested with the power to ignore or amend any such duly enacted law."

The aid in question was held up last summer on orders from Trump but was released in September after Congress pushed for its release and a whistleblower's complaint about Trump's July call with the Ukrainian leader became public.

The independent agency, which reports to Congress, said OMB violated the Impoundment Control Act in delaying the security assistance Congress authorized for Ukraine for “policy reasons,” rather than technical budgetary needs.

“Faithful execution of the law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law,” wrote the agency's general counsel, Thomas Armstrong, in the report.

Capitol Hill Democrats seized on the report as evidence of a lawless White House. led by Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, who is a key figure in the impeachment investigation of Trump. He is still officially the OMB director.

“The OMB, the White House, the administration broke — I'm saying this — broke the law," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

“Congress makes funding decisions, and the Trump Administration’s illegal impoundment of these vital national security funds was a brazen assault on the checks and balances inherent to our democracy," said House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey, D-N.Y. “Given that this illegal conduct threatened our security and undermined our elections, I feel even more strongly that the House has chosen the right course by impeaching President Trump. No one is above the law."

OMB has argued the hold was appropriate and necessary.

“We disagree with GAO's opinion. OMB uses its apportionment authority to ensure taxpayer dollars are properly spent consistent with the President's priorities and with the law," said OMB spokeswoman Rachel Semmel.

Trump was impeached last month on charges of abusing his power for pressuring Ukraine to investigate Democratic rivals, as he was withholding the aid, and for obstructing Congress' ensuing probe. The Senate is set to begin its trial on Thursday.

The GAO finding concludes that the White House budget office “withheld the funds for an unauthorized reason in violation” of the Impoundment Control Act, a federal law that requires the executive branch to spend money that is appropriated by Congress.

The impoundment control law is rigorously adhered to by career officials in agency budget offices, who can face severe trouble for violating it.
