This - FINALLY - is the point. WH finally released aid ONLY when they knew they were caught

This - FINALLY - is the point. Very, very clear that the White House finally released the aid only when the whistleblower report was coming to light and the Intel committee was already starting its investigation! They relented because they finally got caught.

VIDEO:




Schiff recalls that on Sept 9 the Inspector General informed Congress of the existence of a whistleblower's complaint. "It was less than 48 hours later that the aid would be released."




GOP has decided that their best argument is that the military aid was released on Sept. 11.

This requires ignoring two things

Sept. 9: Dems announce investigation into Trump/Giuliani involvement in Ukraine.

Sept. 10: Dems ask the DNI for whistleblower complaint
