Rep. Mike Rogers: Champ broke the law with Bergahl deal.
2014-06-02
[Breitbart] On Sunday's "State of the Union" on CNN, House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) explained to moderator Candy Crowley why the Obama administration's deal to secure American prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl's release for five Guantanamo detainees was a bad deal and broke law. According to Rogers, this sends the wrong message to terrorists around the world.
And this has what to do with the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence? Benghazi who? No, no, no, forget Benghazi. Here... Candy, look, SQUIRREL !

#11  Yep, like fu8181 said, I expect that they were tagged. Later, they and their buddies get together to share some goats, and it's like shootin' fish in a barrel. Good times ... Good times.

#8  AuburnTom, Bergdahl's father confirmed your musings. I just hope they are tagged for future drone zap.

#7  Obama promised to get rid of Gitmo. Perhaps he is going to release everybody anyway, so he figured he might as well get something in return.

#6  That would be no dessert. Ruined the joke.

#5  Assuming he broke the law. What is the penalty for this? Fine? No desert? If it doesnt mean jail time it is only one of many transgressions (the pile of which seem to leave many voters unphazed).

#3  Well, we didn't negotiate with terrorists, not until Champ was anointed.

#2  I've just submitted a Mike Ledeen article with attachments from PJ Media entitled Mirrors and Veils: The Bergdahl Complex. As Paul Harvey used to say.... "and now for the rest of the story."

#1  Even if they had been notified, they are not required to give consent. And given the security classification that would have been attached to the notification, they could not have told anybody outside the committee that they had been notified. So, what difference could it have made?Would not think it sensible politically, assuming Bergdahl was indeed a deserter (& probably even if he wasn't.) Clearly makes no sense militarily. We must not know the whole story.
