The problem is that there are so many things going on now - so many hearings, so many investigations - that this latest outrage is probably going to swamp the investigatory capacity of Congress.
I just can’t see how more hearings are going to help. I read somewhere that Congress sent a formal protest to Obama yesterday, so maybe if they could make this public and actually proceed with something that doesn’t require years of hearings, it might have an impact.
I honestly don’t know what can be done. And furthermore, Obama did what he usually does after some outrageous act: he left the country so that he can keep out of reach of even the most minimal press inquiries. He’s off in the Ukraine right now, thumbing his nose at us.
It is so bad on so many levels, I almost don't know where to begin.
Susan Rice also made the assertion (without explaining how she knew or providing evidence) that the excuse for pushing the prisoner swap so quickly that they could not even inform Congress as required by law was Bergdhal’s purported rapidly declining health and need for immediate medical attention to save his life.
So here we have a confirmed deserter and probable traitor who got pushed to the front of the line for health care while our wounded warriors languish and die on secret death panel lists because they are denied care.
Sounds like the VA Scandal is at play here as well.
I am so sick and tired of this clown and his minions running our beautiful country into the ground while or so-called Representatives do absolutely NOTHING.
I would be shocked if it turned out that Obama traded a deserter for 5 terrorists. Just shocked I say!
Yeah, because 15 or 25 sounds more like him...
Five terrorist leaders returned
For one deserter and traitor

("Body man" Reggie Love will be jealous.)
Obama stands with the muslims - as he said he would.
Yeah, 5 sounds a little light.
I just can’t figure out why they did it and why they did it now.
Take the VA scandal out of the news? Get the last American out of the region before pulling out? Test this approach to slowly empty out Gitmo?
They had to know the allegations against Bowe. We are definitely missing something here. They can’t be that dumb.
You got that right. It is like the "Little Dutch Boy" Syndrome. So many leaks (scandals) that the investigative powers can't keep up. The level of intentional corruption by this slimeball is mind boggling.
This happens right after Obama announces the Bug Out date for Afghanistan. What if the REAL deal is to get the Taliban to stand down so that they don’t embarrass the Obama regime during this period in return for those leaders. Our “ prisoner” was just cover.
I just cant figure out why they did it and why they did it now.
Susan Rice has said that Bergdahl was in declining health and could have died. If Bergdahl died in captivity, then Obama would not have an American prisoner held captive to use an pretext to release the five members of the Taliban leadership.
Obama didn’t release these five to get Bergdahl back, he used Bergdahl as a pawn and as an excuse to free the Taliban leaders whom he wanted to release so they could begin to get prepared for operations in Afghanistan as soon as we leave at the end of the year
“And what is going on with CNN, Chris Matthews, The Daily Beast, Time and scores of other regular Obama sycophants going after him on this and the VA medical scandal?”
IMHO, they are distancing themselves from obama now, so they can shill for hillary later this year.
It’s unfortunate but I doubt anything comes of this. Anyone in Congress with a set of balls would have impeached this ass over any number of scandals.. pick one. IRS, Benghazi, bypassing Congress, VA and now Bergdhal. BO’s track record on doing anything right is non existent.
Releasing the 5 GITMO terrorist for a deserter fit’s in line with his mentality. Pathetic, but this is the new America.
How is giving the Taliban their terrorists in advance going to make them back off and let us leave peacefully? There was nothing about this deal that was meant to benefit America.
Yes, it's pretty clear that, in the general, Hillary wants to run against Obama - she knows the GOP isn't going to put up much of a fight.
My guess would be that they were counting on the media to fall in line on this one too.
Without media scrutiny there is no story except the glorious homecoming, there is crime because Obama makes the law, there are no dead soldiers in the wake of this deserter because confidentiality agreements have been signed, Holder has his pen at the ready, and the media are ready to urge to let the rest of the animals in Guantanamo go.
I couldn’t believe it either when Jake Tapper at CNN immediately ran hard with the postings by Bergdahl’s platoon members, when NBC news led with the same thing, when leftist Obama sycophants like the “legal scholar” Jeffrey Toobin immediately announced that Obama had broken the law.
I don’t think Obama, Jarrett and Rice saw this coming in a million years.
I told them how fed up I am and how they are doing nothing while ZERO does anything he wants to. This latest is the last straw. We need to stay on this until something is done.
You crackers will learn to serve the Moslem Brotherhood,
al Qaeda, and us. We won on 911. Now serve."
