Honestly if any official or organization wants to start making claims of thing being illegal they need to cite their fricking sources and point to the actual written law that was broken. Shits getting ridiculous.

This is another variation lawfaring by the dims. Some of them are smart enough to know the law, they are deliberately misconstruing it the court of public opinion.
They did the same thing with the Intelligence Community Whistle Blower Act arguing that it applies to POTUS in a non-intelligence setting.

“In the summer of 2019, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) withheld from obligation funds appropriated to the Department of Defense (DOD) for security assistance to Ukraine,” the eight-page watchdog report read.
“Faithful execution of the law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law. OMB withheld funds for a policy reason, which is not permitted under the Impoundment Control Act (ICA). The withholding was not a programmatic delay. Therefore, we conclude that OMB violated the ICA,” it concluded.
The Office of Management and Budget placed a hold on the aid on July 25, “pending a policy decision,” and was lifted on September 12, the office’s general counsel Mark Paoletta has said. Paoletta wrote in a December letter to the GAO that the hold was a “programmatic delay,” and thus, Congress did not require prior notice of the move.
The OMB issued a statement in response to the report’s findings, reaffirming that the hold was appropriate.
“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,” OMB spokeswoman Rachel Semmel said.
In a separate statement, Department of Defense spokesman Jon Hoffman defended the decision to place a temporary hold on the aid, noting it ultimately “got out with no detriment to our national security.”

OMB and DOD disagree with this. So it is a moot issue but the headline will make it's way into the impeachment trial if Turtle allows the clown show to continue.
Also, look for another whistle blower to suddenly come forward soon. It will probably break today so they can control the impeachment trial; with the media doing the hyper-partisan bidding of the democrats..

They’re also hedging on the fact that most Dem congressmen don’t know the law (or their TDS has blinded them to it), because they’ve all bitten, hook, line and sinker.

There are over 7 pages of this hit job headline on Trump.
The GAO is an organization caught before being hyper-partisan when the headlines all today say they are a non partisan watch dog group.
I wish I could find the articles posted here on them. It was a female that GAO that went against Trump and it was shot down as partisan.

If you study the headlines on this today it goes on and on of news places aggregating. BREAKING NEWS OMB HE BROKE A LAW.
If you stop to think about it your OP is correct; and they tried this crap before and the DOD said they are wrong.
A whistle blower or Stormy 2.0 will appear within 48 hours when this fails yet again of saying OMB.
BTW: frick Pelosi for wearing peach to impeach with her little pen show.

You have got to be kidding me. I was told 7,492 times the hold on military aide was detrimental and costs lives!!!!!
This must be fake news....How would someone at the Department of Defense know more than a Congressperson or Don Lemon?

And the headline the progs and media were waiting for...
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/478613-new-allegations-watchdog-report-complicate-gop-position-as-impeachment-trial
Will Turtle speak out on this BS and say that the DOD and other govt agency said it was fine and cite the law in the OP? Or wait for a dog and pony show for someone like JJ to say it.
They think they have him now for sure. I never thought I would see a media and political party (with some GOPe) take down a President just because he will win and pulled the curtain back.
Now would be a good time for Durham to not act like Huber and hide...

Just goes to show you Rush has been right all along. He said one time many moons ago that It just takes a fax machine and a good press release and the media reports it as the gospel.

I noticed none of the mouth breathers orgasming in the GAO thread touched this thread.
