The GAO Ruled Obama Broke the Law in 2014, But No One Called for His Impeachment

"
That’s right, back in 2014, the GAO ruled that Obama’s prisoner swap of five detainees at Guantanamo Bay prison in exchange for deserter Bowe Bergdahl violated federal law. “The Department of Defense violated section 8111 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2014 when it transferred five individuals detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the nation of Qatar without providing at least 30-days notice to certain congressional committees," the GAO explained.



The department also violated another law that prohibits federal employees from spending money not authorized by Congress. "DOD should report its Antideficiency Act violation as required by law," the GAO said.


At the time of the swap, President Barack Obama defended the move, saying the U.S. has a "sacred rule" not to leave men and women in uniform behind.

"We saw an opportunity," Mr. Obama said on June 3. "We were concerned about Sgt. Bergdahl's health. We had the cooperation of the Qataris to execute an exchange, and we seized that opportunity."

But lawmakers from both sides of the aisle questioned the decision, saying the administration disregarded the 30-day notice provision of the law."

All Progs are hypocrites.

Personal benefit. That's the difference kid. President Obama did not do it for personal benefit.

LOL, so now it's okay to break the law as long as your motive isn't for "personal benefit"?

What do they call this idiotic legal system that exists on the planet you inhabit?

Can't have been that big a deal if it took them years to get around to telling us.

You inadvertently stumbled on the truth kid. Neither case is a "big deal", does that make those Pubs noble and virtuous? No. It just makes them not willing to shred the country for purely political reasons.

So the defense switches from "what law was broken in Trumps Ukraine Shakedown Scheme?" to "look at what Obama did 6 years ago?"

You are welcome to your own take but it in no way means you know why I posted what I did. You Progs have a bad habit of thinking things your side does happens in a vacuum. You NEVER want to admit or acknowledge what they do. The point of the post is to illuminate your hypocrisy. Mission accomplished.

The point is Trump wasn't impeached for illegally not authorizing the dispursement. It was about WHY he didn't.

How about when the GAO found that Obama violated section 503 of the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, and the Antideficiency Act by over-spending on secret service by $5,100,000 (five-million one-hundred thousand dollars) in 2009, and diverting those funds from another agency. Is that personal enough for you?

Was this prior to October 1st? If so it was during Bush’s last budget year, so it wouldn’t have had anything to do with Obama.

The bald fact is the Republicans didn’t think any of this was impeachable, largely because it wasn’t.

No, the point is that you aren't bright enough to ever question what people like Pelosi, Schiff ,Nadler et al tell you. They feed you pieces of carefully parsed information and know full well you'll buy it. You've been buying everything they throw out there much like the Q lemmings have ....you just have so much Trump blood lust can't see straight for nigh on 4 years now. Obama broke the law and you don't care. This is nothing more than a political stunt.
