One key question related to Ukraine debate has now been solved: President Trump broke the law when he froze military aid to Ukraine this past summer. With @ESCochrane @ChrisCameronNYT nyti.ms/2FXR5e2
@ESCochrane @ChrisCameronNYT Government Accountability Office is the arbiter of when the Executive Branch has violated what is known as the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. White House violated the Impoundment Act, the GAO concluded today, when it froze the aid to Ukraine. Case closed gao.gov/assets/710/703… 
@ESCochrane @ChrisCameronNYT That said, the violation of the law is somewhat different from what the House has sought to impeach President Trump. There is no penalty for this violation. The only real remedy in the law is to sue to get the money spent. And the money that had been frozen has now been released
