Four Headlines That Completely Undermine Obama Admin’s Latest Justification for Not Notifying Congress
Today it was reported that Obama broke the law because if he hadn’t, the Taliban would have killed Berdahl:
BREAKING: Officials: Congress not told of swap because Taliban threatened to kill Bergdahl if it leaked .
— The Associated Press (@AP) June 5, 2014
This is after saying that they did it because of videos showing that Bergdahl was in a weakened state and could die soon. But here’s the problem with this new justification – the deal has been “leaked” for more than a year now:
The White House is telling us the Taliban would have killed Bergdahl if details of this deal leaked out – from 2013: pic.twitter.com/IXr5l6a9s8

So glad the @Whitehouse made sure this deal wasn't leaked… that was reported by the @latimes in 2012: pic.twitter.com/VzYL94vlj9

How stupid do you have to be to say you didn't want to leak a deal that CBS reported last year? Obama-level stupid. pic.twitter.com/bdRRlbL8oF

Even Bowe’s dad tweeted about the deal way back in May 2013:
Obama renews call to close Guantanamo prison http://t.co/7MrVvDnHE1 GTMO the key to SGT Bowe Bergdahl release from Taliban

The only way this makes sense other than Obama just being a flailing idiot, is if there are details of the deal that we don’t know about yet. It just gets better and better doesn’t it?
