I saw Neil Katyal interviewed saying the POTUS has no authority to block funding appropriated by Congress. The Ukraine withholding defense was made under the guise the POTUS was protecting national security. Impeachment happened because it was proven this was not the reason it was withheld, and it was instead an attempt to use federal funding to extract personal gain.
No argument can be made WHO funding is being withheld in interest of national security. So in fact, there is not even a defense available for suspending WHO funding. The only way it can be is by Congressional approval. IOW, withholding WHO funding is a more transparently impeachable offense than Ukraine, because there is no legal defense for it. This is why I’m not going to believe funding is being withheld until the WHO confirms it.
I mean in March we were also told we would have these amazing tests and drive thru testing sites at Walmart, CVS, and Target. That never happened either. We were told travel from China was stopped when it wasn’t. We were told the virus would go away by April and we will pass 1,000,000 confirmed cases next week. Just Wednesday, he claimed testing was great, when we know irrefutably that it is not only not, but getting worse. Need I go on? Or must I provide more evidence to prove my case that you should believe nothing the guy says? I’ve got an endless supply and more is produced every single day.
