https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/democrat-impeachment-managers-military-aid-ukraine-deroy-murdockDeroy Murdock: Trump Senate trial -- Democrat impeachment managers voted AGAINST military aid to UkraineDemocrat House impeachment managers have focused not just on what they call corruption by President Donald J. Trump. They claim further that his 55-day hold on aid to Ukraine jeopardized U.S. national security.
* “If the president cared about national security, he would not have blocked military assistance to a vulnerable strategic ally in the attempt to secure personal political favor for himself,†said Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. ...
...
* “Ukraine remains at war with Russia,†Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York wept. “It desperately needs our support.â€
...
In fact, Nadler, Lofgren, and Jeffries are working tirelessly to dislodge President Trump for delaying aid to Ukraine when they themselves voted to stop such relief, dead in its tracks.
On July 26, 2018, all three voted against the Fiscal Year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, which included $250 million in security assistance to Ukraine. Despite Lofgren’s assertions to the contrary, such funds turned out not to be “unanimous, forceful, and unwavering,†with Lofgren herself among those undermining the very same unanimity that she ballyhoos.
Why am I unsurprised? BTW, Javelin missiles had also been delivered to Ukraine in
April, 2018, from the previous year's budget (or CR),
