This was the same way Amazon, Facebook and Google very loudly denied ever having given any “backdoor” to the NSA:
They did, but were honest in denying that they did, and here is how they hear the sound of one hand clapping:
A backdoor is BY DEFINITION a thing the surveillance target does NOT know about and if the target gives ANY THING to another entity —including the NSA— then the target does in fact KNOW of the existence of that thing, making it IMPOSSIBLE for it to be a BACK door —it’s a FRONT door.
See?
So they did answer honestly when they denied it.
SICK, HUH..?
So:
Ya figger the White House is more honest than Amazon, or less so..?
Or much, much less so
?

It was BAKSHISH in that part of world for not beheading Bergdahl for 5 long years.

The United States did not provide money in return for Sgt. Bergdahl, National Security Staff spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said. Plausible deniability is what they are doing. Ask if ANY cash was exchanged to any country, person or entity, with the express intent, implied or actual, of it being related to, or associated with the Berghdahl transfer?
Remember, these are the same assclowns that defined the definition of the word "is" is, just to skirt an answer to a question.

Did obama use a cutout to provide money to this group? Money for hostages. I would like to see the proof. Please let it be so.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Of course it's not ransom - the apparatchiks in this regime parse words in a fashion that makes Jesuits envious. Not a ransom - they just gave up five master terrorists for a "soldier" who can't figure out whether or not he's an American.
Note to Bergdahl - ever heard of Benedict Arnold? He also served with "Honor and Distinction."
Obama: "We will leave no man (in uniform) behind!"
They're just anticipating the push-back when someone asks the question:
"WHAT ABOUT THOSE GUYS IN BENGHAZI?"
Ty Woods and Glen Doherty were not "in uniform." Their predicament, and the valor they showed throughout their ordeal, demanded a rescue. Troops were near and were ready willing and eager to come to their aid, but were stood down. Gen. Ham was relieved from command for attempting to do his duty that evening.
Are you not outraged, as I am, that this Marxist maggot would use that motto, which impelled us to snatch the dead bodies of our Brothers from out the hands of the enemy, to justify this bald-faced act of Treason?
Obama, you stinking Kenyan Marxist bastard! I want my beloved Country Back!!

I believe the question Stockman posed was "Did the United States
authorize" any payment for Bergdahl.
The White House stated that the United States did not provide money in return for Bergdahl.
So they didn't really answer the question. The question I want asked: Did the US authorize or is the US aware of any payment made directly or indirectly by any party as a part of the Bergdahl release?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
1. Obama didn’t actually make the payment, so you peasants misunderstood.
2. Bergdahl wasn’t a sergeant at the time, so some underling (close to retirement) misspoke.
3. It wasn’t paid for his release but as a precondition for negotiations that we deny ever entering into with these people.
4. We can do this all day. We’re the White House.
5. Just because.
6. We can.
7. And there’s nothing you or anyone can do about it.

The US provided weapons?
The US provided little boys?
The US provided vodka?
Etc.
But Obama did not give them money. Got it.

Then who did pay? Ransom is the way things are done there. Were they paid in goats or sheep, or did the Obama Campaign fork over the money to the Taliban?
