Trump has NOT treated Ukraine more favorably than his predecessors. Only he: •Withheld aid for personal gain •Removed the anti-corruption Ambassador •Violated the Impoundment Control Act to keep the freeze secret • Harmed Ukraine’s ability to withstand Russia — PolitiTweet.org

The investigations-for-aid demand caused both harm & foul: •Delayed aid jeopardized Ukraine’s defense against Russia •That & withholding a WH meeting nearly compelled Ukraine to meddle in our elections •Signaled to Russia that our support for Ukraine was not a priority — PolitiTweet.org

Little known fact: Not only did Pres. Trump release the Ukraine aid so late in the fiscal year, that we in Congress had to re-appropriate $35 million so it didn’t expire - but nearly half of that remains UNSPENT TO THIS DAY. So, NO, the aid was not all “eventually released.” — PolitiTweet.org
