An odd coincidence in the Bergdahl release? (Highest level of Treason if proven)
am thinker ^ | 6/4/14 | j kissner

There are a few potentially important details surrounding the timeline leading to Bowe Bergdahl’s release that might deserve some discussion.

Truth Revolt supplies some details on the timeline:

This week’s [the week of Bergdahl’s release] secret diplomacy was not the first time the U.S. government had engaged the Taliban in an effort to negotiate a prisoner swap for the release of Bergdahl. In 2011, State Department officials held a series of meetings with Taliban leaders in Doha.

In Congress, there was bipartisan opposition to any release of Guantanamo prisoners. After the negotiations were made public in early 2012 by Sen. Dianne Feinstein the Taliban announced they were pulling out of the talks.

Truth Revolt continues:

The U.S. official praised this operation [the operation leading to Bergdahl’s release] as a show of interagency cooperation—it was a whole-government effort that he said had been in the works for five years. “We really got traction in the last week but we never lost sight of Bergdahl,” he said.

So, Bergdahl was left in Taliban hands in 2009, meetings were held to get him back in 2011, Feinstein went public about the talks in 2012 and the Taliban left the table. Then, Obama suddenly gained “traction” in the midst of a cresting VA scandal that pierced even the NBC shield.

This would seem to support your very valid theory about the real reason behind the outing of the CIA station chief in Afghanistan.

“The “slip” was simply a way to remove him from the scene of the crime.”

Yes.

Here’s a possibility for the only way for the regime to stop all questions, investigations, the Pentagon findings, Congressional hearings, etc.:

“Bergdahl was performing a dangerous job, serving his country with honor and distinction. He was a deep-undercover who played the deserter/traitor role for five years. He obtained and transmitted sensitive information about the whereabouts of Taliban and al-Qaeda leaderships for drone targeting and played a crucial role in finding bin Laden.

Bergdahl’s files are sealed by a presidential finding and he and his family will be unavailable.” (Witness protection with new identities or some such.)

The lapdog media would love it and demand a medal for Birdbrain.

I certainly wouldn’t put it past them to do something like this, even with a young man that couldn’t have possibly been trained past toilet training.

We’ll await the regime’s next lie that’s surly coming.

Thanks for the additional links. Especially amusing is the third link (InfoWars, meh) but worth the following opening statement [which confirms bouhammer's claims in another post(below)]:

The classic punishments for treason are either the gallows or the headsman’s axe.

Either is fine.

I think it’s exactly the opposite. The threat of exposing the CIA station chief is leverage on the agent. Exposing the agent removes that leverage - what would stop him exposing the swap of terrorists for a deserter?

Do not underestimate Obama's pettiness. For the station chief to even express disapproval, would have been enough for Obama to lash out.

I think it is more likely that the CIA station chief was adamantly opposed to the swap of terrorists for a deserter, and threatened to expose or scuttle it.

Agree. There was something else that sweetened this deal and it's guaranteed to be worse than releasing 5 top bad guys. Of course, when it comes out, Rice/Hillary/hussein will trot out the tired ol' upside down lib thinking meme.

Doha is home to a branch of the liberal Brookings Institution, the branch connected to the Chinese spy hatchery called the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.
