The evidence is amassing. Enough to mire the president in more controversy and scandal, but as if this is the whole point.

The administration is boldly fast tracking to the implosion of Constitutional law.

He has to be impeached and removed from office. He begs for it now, openly.

There has been scuttlebutt about Bowe Bergdahl floating around the Army for a while, and some of it very damning. After what has just happened, I sadly suspect that my worst take on it was correct.

The islamists who are now directing the White House have once again been able to do the maximum damage to US interests at the time of their own choosing. Anyone still think they are just a bunch of hapless idiots who keep succeeding despite themselves?

1 traitor for 5 terrorists — what a deal.

Obama would give away all of our nuclear secrets if he could. And maybe he can, with the compliant military brass we seem to have these days.

Two years left and counting. God help us.

This is just one of many cases and a continuing trend of expanded use of executive power. Violate a law here, another law there, bypass congress, impose regulations by agency mandate, legislate on the fly, refuse to testify, etc. Get the populace used to the idea of absolute and arbitrary rule.

*********************************************

This is why Hillary would be much more dangerous if elected in 2016 than I think she would have been if elected instead of Obama. Obama has set a precedent of lawlessness with no checks/balances or anyone stopping him. The level of lawlessness has blazed a path through previously “uncharted waters” that it will be easy for Hillary to follow. I don’t know that she would have had the guts to do all that Obama has done if she’d been elected instead of him. Obama needs to be impeached and removed from office - IMO, that’s the only way to stop this lawless behavior by him and future presidents. Will it happen? Not a chance - the political will, integrity and backbone to do it are not present in Congress, nor in the country because his power and popularity flow from his skin color.

“It also violated U.S. law that requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice before Gitmo prisoners are released,”

Let’s see what congress does in response. Their past refusal to slap down an executive who does as he damn well pleases is noted.

Agreed. Something very unwholesome is going on here.

That horse left the barn a long time ago. Just take a look at the international crisis group board of trustees and tell me if you honestly think we have any secrets left.

This swap just theater to give Obama cover for releasing the five terrorists.

Once the noise from this one dies down he will find some other way to justify realease of more of his fellow Islamists.

One wonders how much “aid and comfort” the “Captured Person” provided to the people who gave him shelter.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff will be all over this case like stink on dog poop......poop dropped at the South Pole and sniffed at the North Pole.

How can the JCOS live with themselves? They are like leftovers in a backed up White House toilet.

I think this kid was a plant and the whole thing was to get prisoners released. I don’t trust any thing that is comming out of the Whitehouse. It is the same tactic that was attempted by kidnapping a Ambassador to gain release of the Blind Sheik.

Am I wrong to think that there will be a Military Inquiry regarding the Soldier’s actions prior to his capture?

Well, at least we know the going rate for paying off Kidnappers, five to one. Place your bets, the Dam has burst.

It's not the slightest weird. It fits the pattern:

EVERYTHING obama does either:

a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
I have yet to have anyone raise a single substantive counter example in several years of posting this.

This one is a), c) and d)...

"Everything Obama does either.....serves Islam" (excerpt)

From page 261 of his book "The Audacity of Hope" by Barak Hussein Obama...."I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

His old man was speaking Pashtu at the White Hut...

...while Ubama traded his deserter son...

...for some seriously bad dudes.

What video will Ubama blame when US soldiers and citizens are kidnapped for more trades?
