3. OMB did NOT withhold funds for a "policy reason."

They shouldn't have said that- a "purported" policy reason, at best.

5. All they are going to say is

that there is a difference between violating a statute and committing a criminal act and still claim no underlying crime was committed. They'd be right though it doesn't matter as Trump was well aware he couldn't legally withhold the money(given the steps they went to cover it up, he clearly knew it was wrong).
