Why break the law and risk impeachment to cover VA and EPA scandals?

Releasing 5 terrorists without consulting Congress could get him in more trouble than the VA and EPA scandals combined.

Why risk it?

Surely he and his team anticipated that Congress and the media would realize that he broke the law and that could be an impeachable offense.

Doesn't make sense to me.

You make a good point but I don't believe Obama fears the possibility of impeachment.

What risk? If he wasn't impeached over Fast & Furious, IRS, Benghazi or the VA scandals he's not going to get impeached over this.


Remember republicans are afraid of being called racist.

He's virtually impeachment proof.

He could impale puppies on the WH front gate and nothing would happen to him.

Risk impeachment?

Two things.

1)I think it's fairly well established that short of committing a dead on felony, no President in modern times is going to be impeached again

and/or

2)Even if impeached, it is DAMNED certain that no President short of committing a dead on felony is going to get conviceted in the Senate.

Y'all give this Admin too much credit... I don't think this was in any way an attempt to coverup a scandal.

I think the administrations just that fricking stupid to trade 5 AQ Leaders for a long American deserter

He owns this MF - and he knows it. It's brazen for sure, but he knows nothing will be done other than a bunch of chirping and posturing.

Obama is truly the Teflon President.

Impeachment is a pipe dream. It isn't realistic in any sense, and thus it isn't on his radar.
