#4 According to a RedState article that interviewed Sen. Rand Paul.

"Current U.S. law prevents the U.S. from lending help to corrupt countries.

Therefore, the congressman explained, Trump would’ve needed to ask for a Biden investigation — since he suspected the family was corrupt — in order to give Ukraine the assistance."

The GAO appears to be another beast from the Swamp trying to make a political take-down.

#5 GAO can only give its opinion.

And in that opinion Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc. all broke the law.

So either charge 'em all or go fuck yourself.

Bingo. The Swamp is vast, and deep.

#7 Perhaps the Gov't GAO could be outsourced to PricewaterhouseCoopersl, Ernst & Young ?

How about a target date of FY-2021 ?
