johnny, our military had already found that Ukraine had met the criteria for adequately cleaning up corruption when Trump decided that his personal political interests an his contempt for the military would cause him to override that evaluation and delay the aid anyway.
As to the "55 days" or any other number of days delay, the law says aid authorized by Congress can't be delayed more than 48 days. No matter how you slice it, Trump broke the law by at least seven days. And Trump would have delayed it longer than seven days except the whistleblower exposed his crime and forced Trump to belatedly do the right thing.
