GOP senator attacks government watchdog for doing its job

(this piece is from yesterday)

By Dan Desai Martin -January 16, 2020 6:00 PM

The GAO is responsible for determining whether administration officials have broken the law.

Republican senators criticized a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) on Thursday which concluded the Trump administration broke the law by withholding military aid to Ukraine.

Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) went so far as to attack the employees of the GAO for doing their job.

"I don't think they [the GAO] should be deciding who broke the law," Shelby told Politico.

Part of GAO's responsibility is to determine if administration officials broke the law.

I don't know about you asshole ( Shelby) but since it is "my" tax dollars that are being spent, and your party has a traitor that is breaking the law by extorting and bribing countries, I am quite happy that I, a taxpayer has a agency in whats left in my government overseeing and making sure that things are done right, maybe you and your other fucking cronies is this piece should resign, since you all don't like doing your job ............................because I would really like to know if you took any foreign money, that has been handed out..............................
