More than $20 million of the Pentagon aid at the center of the impeachment fight still hasn’t reached Ukraine.

On Thursday, as lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee debated articles of impeachment, Republicans on the panel continued to assert that Trump did not abuse his power because the aid was released before Ukraine’s new government announced any investigations.“They got the money on Sept. 11,” Rep. Jim Jordan said of Ukraine in the Thursday hearing. “That’s what happened. You can make up all the things you want, but those are not the facts.

When the Trump administration ultimately dropped its hold on the aid on Sept. 11, Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike had to scramble to save the money. Just days shy of the deadline, they passed — and Trump signed into law — a yearlong extension to allow the Pentagon to disburse the aid. But in late November The Times reported thatAbout $15 million has since been contracted out, leaving $20.2 million remaining in U.S. accounts, according to the Pentagon and Senate aides.

“Specifically, we needed to reach out to prospective vendors to obtain updated pricing data,” she said. “Delays in obtaining this information is impacting our overall time lines.”But Senate staffers said that law contained no such requirements for the Pentagon to essentially start over on contracts.

Good. Waste of taxpayer money.

US Tax Dollar Expenditures Missing From Ukraine Finance Minister's Records

Not just 20. 20.2.

I would bet that most Americans agree that we should keep our own money for ourselves and use it to pay off our own debts, rather than giving it away to foreign countries. A government with $23.1 trillion dollars in debt needs to be a lot more prudent with its money.

Yawn.

cancel all aid to 3rd world corrupt sh$tholes our politicians use as honeypots and that goes for both sides of the isle

How I'm not surprised, they must be corrupted AF and they couldn't care less to cover for trumps ass ✌️😆

Maybe the 20 million would be better spent on our deficit.

We can see how the Democrats are right on top of things. impeachmentDebate

To be fair, when trump shook down Ukraine, he asked for a favor that was never fulfilled, so no investigation into a rival, no aid, simple as that.

And yet ever single republican continues to perpetuate the lies.

Team Trump Laughs at Mayor Pete: He Has ‘No Shot’When it comes to the 2020 Democratic field, President Donald Trump’s public rhetoric and put-downs often clash with his private assessments and concessions. Behind closed doors, he has repeatedly, if at times begrudgingly, praised what he sees as Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) populist acumen and large Trump is pathetic... He thinks his job is watching cable TV, generating tweets, insulting people and then spending huge amount of taxpayer money going to his private Golf Resorts!

The New Union Label: Female, Progressive and Very Anti-TrumpSara Nelson wants to break the AFL-CIO out of its male-dominated, blue-collar rut and return the labor movement to its activist roots. Good to see an in-depth piece on a rising leader. I do think the reporter tries to cast her as a self-involved climber where they'd cast a man as ambitious & driven. Plz be aware of that dynamic. Women need to be even more ambitious to make a difference & it doesn’t make us bad. Not too wise to break unions “out of their blue collar roots” precisely at the time manufacturing is making a huge comeback in America, is it? Does Nelson even know anything about the problems of working people? That’s too bad. Trump is good for labor. She would do well to find a way to work with him. More divisive behavior
