The Ukrainian Aid package was approved in August of 2018. If it was so vital to the Ukrainian's ability to fend of Russia, why would the process to deliver it to Ukraine take 11 to 12 months?

I think the argument that it was held up (legally or not) is a red herring and the Democrats a bit disingenuous for focusing on the Trump delay as so shattering to the Ukrainian's ability to defend themselves, and the follow on ability for the US to withstand Russian aggression. If the Congressional Oversight Committees focused on improving the funding process, there would not have been a delay. Not very efficient oversight or process. It is the responsibility of Oversight Committees to identify ineffective congressional processes and recommend improvements.

How is this a red herring, it’s literally the crime. It’s been discovered that part of the delay was that he was continuing to withhold it until they publicly announced an investigation into his own political rival.

What you’re pointing out is something they should focus on AFTER they hold him accountable for abuse of power, not instead!!!
