This is unreal. He flat out lied and broke the law, again.

Oh no, he didn't tell congress about a deal to free a captive American because doing so would've jeopardized the deal!

Still not seeing the freakout. Especially when, as the article notes, the accusation that it's illegal is still questionable.

And:
"The Democratic members of the committee said the report does not offer evidence of how the Defense Department has failed to take sufficient precautions to make sure risks posed by releasing the Taliban Five are mitigated."

This is just another re-hash of the same issue, with no new complaints or information. Obama did, in fact, do the trade without proper notice, but he had a real reason not to, and the issue boils down to 'do you think it was worth it?' (especially as the five released likely are going to stay in Qatar).

Another Republican lead inquiry that ends with, "We haven't actually been able to demonstrate that the Democrat in question that we're targeting did anything illegal, but we're still sure they're horrible." Another post of Time convinced that every such inconclusive inquiry is a gigantic scandal.

He informed them 3 days before. The law says 30 days.

So that's breaking the law.

Also we gave up 5 terrorist leaders for a traitorlaughing out loud

Classy move

But that's allowed if doing so would jeopardize things.

Like the article said- the article from a right-wing news company reporting on a Republican report- the presence of illegality was not conclusive.

It is interesting how you post articles that note stuff is unsure, and you always fall on the side of "Obama/Hillary/whoever definitely did it!".




He's an American Citizen, and we gave up people very out of touch and put them into a neutral country.

Yes, it was a classy move.

Sure so right wing "terrorists" are equal to Muslims. But giving up terrorists for a traitor is ok.

U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl gets to live and go home to his family. Seems like a win to me. If he needs to face charges once on US soil, so be it.

Please stop making constant divisive political threads. They have no value for discussion.
