I'm still curious as to the why? On the surface this just makes no sense.
I agree. In the other thread, I said it was a shitty deal.
You'd also think they would have known this whole "traitor" business and that it would come up. (regardless of your opinion on this administration or any other, they do have an arse ton of smart people working there). They had to have known.

I think he will be subject to the military justice system. He wont' be allowed to walk away free with no consequences. I won't be surprised if he is court marshaled.

Even if the Administration lets him face military justice, they still have to explain the release of the 5 detainess.

A lot of the screamers will shut up after they get their pound of flesh.

Bergdahl went MIA while in Afghanistan - he left a note saying he was leaving - he was 'captured' by the Taliban that he supported - soldiers died in rescue attempts even though he had deserted - 5 high ranking Gitmo prisoners were swapped for him - this all came after Obama signed a law basically saying he was not given the power to do this
That is pretty much it...though I will add to it that it is SPECULATED by some that
- Bergdahl actually assisted the Taliban in fighting the US;
It is NOT speculated that:
- Obama said this morning that the WH had informed congress frequently of this deal being negotiated...a GOP congressman refuted that saying the last they heard was in 2011;
It is Rumored that:
- It is rumored that Bergdahl was never officially designated as MIA because he was a defector.
It is hard to look at what we know and come away with a good feeling on the subject.
Even if you are of the camp that the GITMO detainees were held illegally, that still does not explain Obama's rational is circumventing a law he signed in their release.

This. Even in the most positive light this is still a weak moment for the Administration.

If I were Bergdaul, I'd start cleaning up my affairs because his death would be convenient on many levels.

Let's put this to rest. Obama signed the defense appropriation bill, one tiny part of which was this requirement. He included a signing statement that he regarded this as unconstitutional and would not abide by it. If you want to know more about signing statements, google Bush and signing statements. Bush made more of them than all previous presidents combined.

George W. Bush's use of signing statements was and is controversial, both for the number of times employed (over 700 opinions, although President Clinton actually issued more [14])
Followed noted reference and got LINK

Q: I’ve searched your website for George W. Bush’s signing statements and only find about 140. The Boston Globe said there were 750. Where are the rest of them?
A: In an article published on April 30, 2006, the Globe wrote that “President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office.” In a clarification issued May 4, 2006, the Globe note that Bush had not really challenged 750 bills (which would have implied 750 signing statements), but “has claimed the authority to bypass more than 750 statutes, which were provisions contained in about 125 bills.”
Q: Is it true that George W. Bush has issued many more signing statements than any other president?
A: No, Bill Clinton issued many more signing statements. The controversy is about the kind of signing statements Bush has issued.
See how silly these type of statements are? Blaming Bush added nothing and put nothing to rest. We are right back to the importance of the kind of statements Bush made. If we are going back to the "Bush did the bad things, too" defense, please don't pretend you are putting anything to rest. You're digging up old bones.

Most people had never heard of signing statements pre-Bush. Bush elevated signing statements to an art form. Obama's use of them is inconsequential but he did use one in the case at hand.
