We could trade Harry for a steaming Taliturd, but it wouldn’t be a fair trade.

“It must have been either the day before or the day of. I don’t remember for sure,” Reid said."

I'd say the odds are better than 50/50 that Reid is lying to give cover to Obama for the "I consulted Congress" claim. First the White House said they didn't consult Congress because of Bergdahl's health, now they say they DID consult Congress. What will they say tomorrow?

[Selene]

“Obama paid”

backwards? think about all of the excess heroin money and the fact that china is no longer accepting us dollars from afghanistan. For fun, you could make a list of who was cut in and who was not.

Probably best to wait a week to see what the real story is.

In a week this will be "old news" and not worth even mentioning. Besides, in a week's time we will have uncovered at least 3 more new scandals which will briefly hold our attention.

“It could turn out that Mitch was “briefed” and never told his caucus.”

Could also be Mitch doesn’t know and rather than say something and have the MSM blame republicans, better to say nothing.

Mitch McConnell was briefed and notified John Cornyn afterwards.

So what ? The law doesn’t say to tell one blowhard...

““It must have been either the day before or the day of. I don’t remember for sure,” Reid said.
Dude, it was, like, 3 days ago. “

Short term memory is the first thing to go in Demaggot Dementia!

[Political Junkie Too]

First the White House said they didn't consult Congress because of Bergdahl's health...

I thought that first they said they didn't have to because Obama said so in a signing statement when he signed some bill a few years ago.

I know, it's hard to keep all these stories straight. Dude, that was like 24 hours ago.

McConnell and Cornyn were notified

There will be no confirmation of this fact until after the mid-terms, if at all...

[MeshugeMikey]

she was but suggested shed have to wait for it to be reported by the New York TImes before she knew what was in.... the communique!

[Beagle8U]

This was just an excuse for O’bastard to say...

“Well, the worst of the terrorists have now left GITMO, I’m releasing the rest and closing it.”

[jwalsh07]

The Taliban Gitmo contingent will kill Americans and the dictator shall not be criticized for it because his father had dark skin.

[blueplum]

liar - if he knew why didn’t his pal Feinstein know? and why did the state dept feel the need to formally apologize to Feinstein?

[DManA]

The mean time between outrages is shrinking.

[TBP]

I would have said something.
