This is what Obama and Carney mean by "we consulted Congress," that is, we told Harry Reid in passing or in some email.

According to this:

McCain knew about it and was dead set against it.

And Cockroach Harry Reid, with a foul smelling stain on his nose, covers Obama’s arse as expected.

[House Atreides]

“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid received a heads-up on the deal to transfer Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for the five Taliban officials detained in Guantanamo Bay — but it’s not clear who else did....”
********************************************************************

Dollars to donuts that Hillary Clinton knew. In fact, this exchange may have been one of the main things on the agenda when she went to the White House last week.

[Political Junkie Too]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) declined to comment when asked about White House outreach with regards to Bergdahl.

Way to lead, Mitch!

Hmmm... Wonder how long it will be before OBAMA says he didn't know about it until he heard it on the news?

[DManA]

Reporting on this is insane. Probably best to wait a week to see what the real story is.

In a brief interview, Reid said the White House contacted him ahead of the swap — but not by much.

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

Harry probably demanded a cut of the ransom money Obama paid.

Reid (D-Nev.) declined to discuss how much the Obama administration had kept him in the loop.

“Oh, I’m not going to talk about that,” Reid said.

[Starstruck]

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

Getting pretty senile Harry when you can't remember something 3 days earlier.

[jimbo123]

McConnell and Cornyn were notified.

[Cowboy Bob]

“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.

[TurboZamboni]

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

[Steve_Seattle]

“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?

[GOPJ]

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

[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.

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?
