LINK: Investigation: Barack Obama Broke Laws To Swap Five Taliban Leaders For Bowe Bergdahl
1. "Barack Obama Broke Laws To Swap Five Taliban Leaders For Bowe Bergdahl"
This is a LIE! The Taliban 5 were never EVER swapped for the release of Bowe Bergdahl!
- Although they are loosely connected / related, the group that held Bergdahl does NOT like the Taliban. They never EVER asked for the release of the Taliban 5. They demanded a RANSOM for Bergdahl. Their 'M.O.' is kidnapping and ransoming some people to fund their activities.
- The release of the Taliban 5 was part of his continued INDIVIDUAL effort to keep a campaign promise almost NO ONE wanted him to keep - the closing of Gitmo, by-passing Congress to do so. Obama had been ... is STILL ... releasing terrorists from GITMO...quietly. The Taliban 5, however, were simply too big to release by themselves. Bowe Bergdahl was the perfect ruse / excuse to release them. Pushing a creed he doesn't truly believe in ('Never leave a man behind') Obama PAID the group holding Bergdahl and released the Talban 5.
(THINK about it: Aside from all of what I just pointed out, Obama did not release the 5 to the terrorists holding Bergdahl. When is the last time you heard of a 'prisoner exchange' where there was NO EXCHANGE? The terrorists holding Bergdahl did not get the Taliban 5 in the exchange - the 5 were not delivered to THEM. There was NO CONTACT between the 5 and the guys holding Bergdahl at all...none during negotiations and none AFTER their release. The 5 were instead 'dropped off' in Qatar, an 'allied' country that we KNOW supports terrorism. The group holding Bergdahl took their money and went merrily on their way, not giving a flying frick about the 5.)

NO SHIT...but that really isn't a surprise to anyone, even to those who defend him (yet they would never say so).
Obama was required to give Congress a 30-Day notice / heads-up of the deal, the 'swap'. He refused to do so. He intentionally refused to - broke the law / Violated the Constitution and went around Congress on his own for the same reason he took the nation to war in Libya on his own without ever going to Congress before doing so: HE KNEW THERE WAS NO WAY IN HELL HE WOULD BE ABLE TO JUSTIFY HIS ACTIONS AND SELL THEM ON THE IDEA. His actions violated 'Separation of Powers' despite the WH unbelievably WRONG is declaring Obama had the Constitutional Authority to 'do what is required to keep Americans safe'. It was a 'patriotic plea' that did / does not stand up to the Constitution, specifically, again, to the 'Separation of Power'!
The Obama administration - Obama - illegally used DoD / military funds to make the whole thing happen. According to the Government Accountability Office report, "the DoD wrongly used $988,400 from a wartime appropriations to facilitate the transfer". The WH responded by declaring “We strongly disagree with GAO’s conclusion, and we reject the implication that the administration acted unlawfully.”
Yeah, that's tantamount to:
Cop: "Sir, you just broke the law.
Crook: "I strongly disagree, and I REJECT your accusation. Now if you will excuse me, I have to be going..."
