Mulvaney objected to 2017 Ukrainian aid package, says State Dept. official

Additional closed-door deposition transcripts from the impeachment inquiry were released Monday. Laura Cooper, deputy assistant secretary at the Department of Defense, testified during her appearance that her colleagues questioned whether aid appropriated by Congress for Ukraine could legally be frozen by President Trump. Yamiche Alcindor and Lisa Desjardins join Judy Woodruff to discuss.

Seems like the key part was this:

One other note. The timeline just expanded with her testimony. She said that the first — there was another package of Ukrainian aid back in 2017. At that point, one agency had objected to that Ukrainian aid. It was Mick Mulvaney, when he ran the Office of Management of Budget.

And she testifies that Mulvaney didn't like the aid then because he was worried about what Russia would think. The whole point of this aid is to protect Ukraine from Russian aggression. But here was Mulvaney trying to protect — or worried about what Russia thought

:confused:
 
What is going-on here with Mulvaney protecting Russia? It's gotta' be propagated by Trump, right? I can't believe how deep this whole mess has become.

What was going on here when Obama refused to provide ANY military aid to Ukraine?

TRUMP living rent-free in liberal heads.

I'm not a liberal, but I am a thinking American. He's not living rent free in anyone's head, he's a shameless media whore whose face and name has been splattered all over the news media and social media since his candidacy.

He's constantly lying, doing dangerous and ignorant things, making idiotic statements, $hitting on our country and its allies, and has been involved in deceptive cheating scandals since day one. Hard not to have that scumbag media whore not in your face or ear everyday.....but it won't be long when he gets the boot. Then reports of the Traitior in Chief about his failed presidency or stay in prison will at least be a bit easier to stomach.

Amazes me how many gullible illiterates who still are foolish enough to keep supporting him, are out there swallowing everything he pukes up. :roll:

What are you babbling on about? These are facts. Obama refused to provide ANY military aid to Ukraine. He wouldn't even deliver humanitarian aid directly to Ukraine and instead delivered it to their neighbor nation for delivery to Ukraine by non Americans. While Trump has provided an abundance of Military aid.
 
Clearly a "nothingburger."

You see, when all these Trumpists fell over themselves to love Romney's 2012 statement that Russia was our "greatest geopolitical foe" in order to attack Obama for allegedly being "weak" on Russia, they were all tricked by the Obama deep state to do that. You see, Obama knew that Trump would engage in the wonderful relation-warming behavior of inviting Russia to interfere on his behalf in the election, knowing it was interfering on his behalf, and not telling anyone (who contacts the FBI, he says). And they knew that too, because them Trumpists see everything.

If they see one thing one day, another thing the next, another thing the next, and after a hundred days nothing but a cabbage nobody should be talking about....well, that's because Obama's deep state kept tweaking reality with it's time machine and mind control worms from space. They aren't to blame, bless.

The bottom line you need to know is that Russia is our bestest friend and that everything Trump does to further Putin's interests furthers our own. Sometimes we're just withholding wasteful spending for anti-Russia nations and sometimes we're just turning allies over to torture and death because the GOP now thinks that fighting in foreign countries is bad. And it always was, and don't you dare remember anything differently you stupid poopy-face reality-loving librul!

:roll:



Explicit agreement or not, proof or not, this stinks. It all stinks. And God Damn those who say there is nothing to so much as look at.

Looking in the mirror again? You accept EVERYTHING Trump says at face value without thinking.

No I look at what the other side is doing, and it's the sickest form of hypocrisy in the world.

Clearly a deep conspiracy to aid Russia on the part of Democrats.

The answer to that question is, of course, yes. The only real timeline is that it be done before the end of the fiscal year.

What the hell are you babbling about? My response was about Trump allegedly living rent free in Liberals' heads....hello! Trump supporters do seem to have a lot of his characteristics, including being stricken with ADD. :lol:

Mulveney and other Trump psychopaths have been on a globetrot to undermine the fact russia interfered with our democracy in 2016; Trump can brook NO challenges to the legitimacy of his election.

He cannot accept that he was aided in any way.

He cannot tolerate it because of narcissism and his delusions of grandeur.
 
You're not a thinking American.

I haven't swallowed Trump's lies and manipulations, and that's just a small part of why I am a thinking American. But this still is America despite the Traitor in Chief, so you are still entitled to your opinion and it fits in with your present cult membership.
