87 Senators Voted For Ukraine Aid, Objected to Halt, But Now They Want No Evidence Why The Aid Was Withheld.
They asked about it, they expressed concern when they found out about the hold.
But everybody knows why they no longer care why the aid was withheld.
If they question it, they run afoul of President Trump.
And they are afraid to do that.
All the Republicans live in fear of being insulted on twitter by the President.
If the President goes against you, you are doomed in the Republican party. He rules by tweet.
Isn't it amazing the about-face turn-around the Republican Senate did on the Aid to Ukraine?
First they are for it, they approved it, they voted for it. Then, they were very concerned when it was withheld, very relieved when it was released.
And now they have an opportunity to vote to see evidence explaining exactly what happened, and they are turning it down.
No.
They don't want to see evidence.
Because Trump doesn't want them to.
Now, I ask you.
How many innocent individuals fight to keep evidence which might prove their innocence from being seen?
Innocent people don't do that. That's what GUILTY people do.
"Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell praised the Trump administration’s release of the funds, saying: “It would have been a mistake to hold back our assistance to the brave people of Ukraine. Doing so would have undermined our partners in Ukraine and Eastern Europe and further emboldened the Kremlin.”
It was one of several disputes recently between Trump and members of Congress, including some of his fellow Republicans as well as Democrats, over his administration’s decision to sidestep congressional approval to fund its own policy initiatives.
Lawmakers from both parties had said they expected Congress would pass legislation to reinstate the aid for Ukraine if the administration had not released the money. "
