The fact is the administration had till Sep 30 to release the aid, it was released on Sep 11, there was no violation. Deal with it commies, you're running out of straws to grasp for. LMAO

The President cannot legally hold up the release of aid once it has been approved by Congress, and all conditions have been met, so yes there was an illegal holdup of aid. The Pentagon certified that the Ukraine had met the anti-corruption standards in March, so there was no legal reason Trump could withhold aid to the Ukraine. That\s why two top OMB employees quit, and one was replaced with a Trump politican appointee.
Congress passed a law after Nixon resigned to prevent Presidents from mis-using foreign aid.
Wrong, the new Ukraine administration and parliament had not been certified. Once they took appropriate action to address corruption the aid was released.
