Mulvaney says delay in Ukraine aid linked to DOJ investigation

The acting White House chief of staff said a delay in millions of dollars in aid to Ukraine was due to concerns about corruption. Mick Mulvaney's comments sparked a firestorm, and he is now trying to walk them back. Nancy Cordes has the latest.

Okay, Chipmunk Mulvaney and many other are still using the the 2016 Hillary talking point ---You've had 3 years, it's 2019!
And I don't see Hillary in the WH, so try again, einstein!

This is so funny. So where is he admitting anything? Put the words he said in a clip. If you have the proof show it. Where does he say "We held the money on condition that they investigate a political rival"? The statement actually says "investigate corruption". If you are against that then your opinion is moot. I don't care who it is, if it's dirty clean it up.

*The Official Excuse:* "If I was really robbing this bank, with this gun, this demand note and this money bag, filled with stolen cash, would I be stupid enough to do it in broad day light, on camera and in-front of dozens of witnesses?" OK. You're free to go....

Stop doing business with Trump Supporters.
Trump is a liar and his supporters support his lie.
Why would you do business with people like that?
