So he admits he has put American lives at risk more than Snowden putting the NSA's spying on its own citizens?

Is McCaskill up for reelection this year?
Nope.
She was up in either 2010 or 2012 and skated because her campaign managed to push an idiot Republican Congressman over the hump in a 3-way primary, then the press turned on him as soon as he opened his mouth.

What this is looking like to me is that the President has taken his lame-duck-ness to heart and is basically Honey Badgering everyone, including his own party. If he truly did break the law (I believe it will go to SCOTUS before any Impeachment hearings get under way), an eager, newly-minted GOP-majority Congress may well end up holding him accountable (mainly for politics, good ethical reasons would just be the smokescreen).

Obama admits that Taliban prisoner swap for Bergdahl could put Americans in danger
quote:
President Obama acknowledged Tuesday that his Taliban prisoner swap could blow up in his face — or somewhere else around the globe.
The five hardened terrorists sprung from Guantanamo Bay for suspected deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s return could rejoin the jihad on America, the President conceded in defending his decision.
“Is there a possibility of some of them trying to return to activities that are detrimental to us? Absolutely,” Obama told a news conference in Warsaw.
“That’s been true of all the prisoners that were released from Guantanamo. There’s a certain recidivism rate that takes place.”

Does everyone always deflect in Congress? They should be accountable for their silly (and blantantly untrue) words.

How many times will the Democrats in Congress allow themselves to be hung out to dry by the Obama administration? At some point they will pay the cost of their loyalty to a party member being put ahead of the interests of the country and their constituents.
