Didnt find anything about the NYT piece you mention nor the supposed documents you mention.

The GAO started earning a reputation as partisan organization in 2004 and it has been shown that Trump violated no legal rules since they offered the opinion of it being illegal to withhold the funds.

I know you hate it Rod but grasping at straws isnt going to help smile
"The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress. Often called the "congressional watchdog," GAO examines how taxpayer dollars are spent and provides Congress and federal agencies with objective, reliable information to help the government save money and work more efficiently."

You obviously didn't look very hard for the NYT article:

Your interpretation of Cooper's testimony is just that and nothing more...

Perhaps you should listen to Cooper's testimony yourself, I did.......Pretty hard to get it wrong as it was quite brief and clear.

As for that NYT article, it wouldnt be the 1st hack job the NYT published on Trump and was written by andrew e. kramer who is well known for hatchet jobs in his capacity as a Moscow based NYT reporter. He also offers no evidence beyond his "unnamed sources" in the article. Gonna have to take that one with a grain of salt.....
I reviewed the WSJ on the GAO and only found a few opinion pieces from it with the latest one and current with the issue at hand stating it "has the respect of both sides of the isle." It has no stated and factual position that the GAO has started drifting from non-partisanship since 2004.
I listened to Cooper and, unlike you, clearly understood what she was saying along with the evidence provided in her statements. 
As for your take on the NYT article which is a good example of investigative reporting, it seems anytime you sense something contrary to your preconceived notions about Trump or his current plight, it's either biased or isn't right. Gonna have to take that viewpoint with a grain of salt. Keep believing in that "perfect call."...

Bolton Puts the Screws To Moscow Mitch...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Jim,
Speaking of hypocrisy, here's Graham screaming about having witnesses at the Clinton impeachment trial:
https://www.newsweek.com/lindsey-graham-resurfaced-video-witnesses-clinton-trump-impeachment-1480835
Now, both McConnell and him are doing everything they can to prevent witnesses from presenting testimony, live or recorded, thus actively or passively aiding and abetting in the coverup. There's no doubt Trump was shaking down the Ukraine for dirt on a political opponent and you don't want to hear from Bolton about it?

Russ,
Congrats on the publication of your image.  Nice work!
Jim,
You may want to hear from witnesses but it's clear Republicans in Congress don't and they've done everything they can to block them with the exceptions of political targets like Biden and his son. While I believe House Democrats could subpoena Bolton and others, I also believe their testimony would not be heard in the senate where it matters.

Jim,
This, of course, is coming from the guy who thinks Trump lost the popular vote because millions of illegals voted when they shouldn't have and Mexico is going to pay for the wall that hasn't been built save for 8 or so miles of it and can't comment on whether or not he agrees with Trump when he said Dubya's decision to invade Iraq was the worst decision ever made because Greg doesn't know enough about it.
What was that about taking somebody seriously? Lol!
