Barack Obama broke a federal law that he signed just six months ago when he authorized the release of five high-ranking Taliban terror targets from the Guantanamo Bay detention center in exchange for the return of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, senior congressional Republicans claimed today.
And the president may also have written a new chapter in the case for his own impeachment, according to a former federal prosecutor who helped bring the 1993 World Trade Center bombers to justice.
'The return of senior terrorists to the Taliban [is] ... a "high crime and misdemeanor",' author Andrew C. McCarthy told MailOnline.
His book 'Faithless Execution: Building the case for Obama's impeachment,' is set to be published Tuesday.

The administration may have believed it would win a PR victory that would eclipse any legalistic hand-wringing on Capitol Hill.
A White House official told MailOnline on Monday morning that Obama's deputies were caught flatfooted by the intensity of public outrage in some quarters after Bergdahl's rescue by Special Forces.

Hi azishot,
So I’m thinking. Zero violated the law with his pen and phone. But his pen, phone, or self, did not have direct contact with the Taliban or government (?) of Quatar.
So, I’m thinking this is a conspiracy to violate federal law. Who do you think are the co-conspirators?
I think Kerry, Rice, Biden, Holder are for starters. They all should be prosecuted. Are you aware of any other co-conspirator?
Oh Stop with the impeachment crap.
The guy just shot puppies on the White House lawn and no one cares.
Who is dumb enough to make the case for impeachment on this?
“Gee, them Republicans are an odd lot. I don’t get it. We brought one of our home”
Well, if we knew who did the direct calling to the tol-ee-bon you could add those names to the list.
There is no way to impeach a dictator. Wishful thinking.
That little twerp seems to have a lot of fans around here lately.
Obama will do what he wants... Congress won’t get off their as$es and do something. Obama walks all over them like tiny little ants.
