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."

They were the definition of petty. The reality here is that trump uses the office for personal gain and he has consistently violated the constitution.

No, there are no differing standards. Republicans just believe the law is only for democrats.

He's done both. That's just the way it is.

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?

GAO stands for Government Accountability Office, so it's not a law that one can break. To clarify your point, the GAO concluded that the Obama administration violated federal law on 7 occasions.
