BRUSSELS — Defense and intelligence officials told senators at a classified briefing on Wednesday that they kept secret from Congress the pending swap of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban prisoners because they feared for his life if the deal became public, a senior administration official said Thursday.

“The Senators were told, separate and apart from Sgt. Bergdahl’s apparent deterioration in health, that we had both specific and general indications that Sgt. Bergdahl’s recovery — and potentially his life — could be jeopardized if the detainee exchange proceedings were disclosed or derailed,” the official said in a statement.

Several senators said Thursday that officials in the classified briefing justified the president’s decision to swap Sergeant Bergdahl for the Taliban prisoners by suggesting that quick action was needed to save his life.

Don't forget it was also an oversight.
How many excuses to date?

He is sitting in that truck trying not to cry, then wipes away a tear and the Taliban terrorists pats his arm.
He knows he has to come home and face the music.
This whole ordeal is making me ill.

At least 8 soldiers’ lives were in immediate danger searching for this deserting traitorous POS and they lost their lives doing it, so those “officials” can go pound sand.
