Feds: Obama Broke Law with Bergdahl Swap

President Obama violated a “clear and unambiguous” law when he released five Guantanamo Bay detainees in exchange for Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, the Government Accountability Office reported Thursday.
“[The Department of Defense] violated section 8111 because it did not notify the relevant congressional committees at least 30 days in advance of the transfer,” the GAO report said. “In addition, because DOD used appropriated funds to carry out the transfer when no money was available for that purpose, DOD violated the Antideficiency Act. The Antideficiency Act prohibits federal agencies from incurring obligations exceeding an amount available in an appropriation.”

Don't worry I'm sure Eric Holder will investigate this matter.

“If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here.”

Another terrific, timely report from the Federal Department of No shite, Sherlock.

The GOP is too scared of losing in November to bring up Impeachment on this now and there's no chance on God's green Earth that "his" (quote from earlier in the week) Dept of Justice will do anything.
Filing this under "Nice to Know" and "Wish Something Would Be Done".

30 years after Iran Contra, I really don't see why we should give a shite. The government is gonna do what it wants to to do.

The law is likely unconstitutional anyway.

No shite.

Obama already spoke about this and his excuse was that any advance notice to congress would have tipped off the captors.

And that's the path we are headed. When the President can no longer be respected and laws are broken so far up, why should anyone else care, respect, follow the law, etc.
I blame Clinton. He showed the way of how to get away with things.

I know there is sarcasm dripping from this post, but I'd be in support of an effort to impeach the President and everyone else who is using the Constitution as toilet paper.
