It is the GAO, which is SUPPOSED to be a bipartisan group working for Congress.  Seems that unless Congress put a "transfer immediately with NO delays for any reason" restriction on the President (rather than the end of the fiscal year) there might be a basis for the claim a law was broken.  The thing I think they are focusing on is a staffer's claim that the reason for the holdback was to achieve a foreign policy goal.  I don't know whether that is the case, or even if it is the case whether that is breaking a law.  Seems like the GAO may be doing the biding of the House majority.
