Previously Unreleased Defense Dept. Email Confirms Trump Made ‘Final Decision’ on Withholding Ukraine Aid

An anti-corruption government watchdog group on Friday evening released a new batch of emails obtained from the Department of Defense which confirm that President Donald Trump made the “final decision” to withhold U.S. military aid to Ukraine over the protests of his own cabinet advisors. The electronic communications were obtained by American Oversight in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FIOA) request regarding the administration’s decision-making process in the matter.

The latest batch of emails show one of the Defense Department’s top attorneys telling Pentagon comptroller Elaine McCusker that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and then-National Security Adviser John Bolton had all advised President Trump to release the military aid to Ukraine, but the final decision was ultimately up to President Trump. ....

The American Oversight report notes that the content of Castle’s email directly contravenes the Trump administration’s defense of the decision to withhold the aid. ....

Castle’s email is part of 238 pages of Defense Department emails released Friday by American Oversight, the tenth set of Ukraine-related records publicly revealed by the group’s FOIA efforts. ....

“Honesty and the national interest succumbed to demands for blind loyalty. While the president’s allies in Congress engaged in catastrophic credulity in the face of facts, the president cannot outrun the truth or, ultimately, the judgment of the American people.”

Georgetown University Law Center professor and former Obama administration National Security Council attorney Joshua A. Geltzer said the emails eliminated any doubt as to who held up the military aid and why.

1. "The buck stops here" was TRUMAN taking responsibility but SHITLER doesn't realize it's *INESCAPABLE

What is really Incomprehensible is his apparent belief that things just go away – everything, his past, everything he’s ever said and done – that things just go *POOF* into the ether. SHITLER doesn’t know that the buck is INESCAPABLE, whether he accepts it or not.

8. tRump believes that the buck stops...

in his and his relatives' pockets.

Anything else is just a distraction from the money-grab.

2. The big trouble, in my eyes though, is that no one cared if he did it; they ADMITTED he did it

The big trouble, in my eyes though, is that no one cared if he did it; they ADMITTED he did it, they just don't care and refuse to do anything about it.

The final "defense" from the GOP was just a "Yeah, he did it. What are you gonna do about it? 'Cause we're not going to do anything about it."

We know he did it. They know he did it. He admitted he did it. They admitted he did it. Everyone agrees he did it.

We think bribery, corruption, and undermining our national security is a serious issue.

They don't.

[charliea]

5. They're leverage to gain power...

They see bribery, corruption, collusion and greed merely as pathways to power. By their definition national security is when they are in power...

[calimary]

7. As long as it helps them cheat to win, why would they care?

[Evolve Dammit]

11. Well said. It really is that simple. Sadly.

4. Well of course he did. Duh.

[Karadeniz]

6. Oversight in the House needs to continue amassing evidence and file impeachment charges

Again. It's their duty.

[2naSalit]

17. And they are. ...nt

[world wide wally]

9. Yeah, so... that was only evidence.

NOT ALLOWABLE in a trial.
Sorry

[NCjack]

10. Can everyone please get off guilty-#45's back? I'm sure he has

learned his lesson and won't do it again!

[Evolve Dammit]

12. OK Susan Collins. He has never been spanked hard. Ever. That may change soon.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. Didn't he pay Stormy to do that with a Forbes magazine?

I just want him in prison. And humiliated.

[Evolve Dammit]

22. Yes he did, with his picture on the cover. He is a "piece of work" and I want what you stated.

It is beyond comprehension that 45 is our POTUS. He is such a fucked up "person" in so many ways, and a traitor.,

[lunatica]

13. That makes them guilty after the fact

They advised him not to do it when they knew he would before the fact. They watched him do it, and then they actively covered up for him after the fact? How does that exonerate them? How are they not guilty of various crimes themselves?

[Six117]

19. That's what I was thinking!

It's not an acquittal... or a cover up. It's a criminal conspiracy.

[dchill]

14. I hope this news hurts Bolton's book.

[gibraltar72]

15. Shocking ain't it.

[SunSeeker]

16. Well, it was Putin's idea, and Trump ran with it.

[2naSalit]

18. +1

[malaise]

21. Bet no one at M$Greedia discuss this before Rachel on Monday

and it is huge news.
Would be nice if Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler or Democratic leadership respond.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Trump is not protecting us from a foreign government trying to change our system of government

[Tanuki]

24. Kicking for exposure

on a day when big news of this nature
can easily get lost or overshadowed by a looming public health crisis.

26. Collective "Meh" from Republicans. "We would've saved Dear Leader regardless." n/t

[Historic NY]

27. Impeach the MF'er again.

[Poiuyt]

28. I think everyone knew he was behind it

Republicans didn't want to convict because it would have meant the loss of THEIR power.
