FBI: Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's parents have received threats

(CNN) -- As the controversy surrounding Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl release gains growing attention, Bergdahl's family is now the target of recent threats, according to an FBI spokesman.

Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl family have received threats following his release after five years in captivity at the hands of the Taliban, an FBI spokesman told CNN on Saturday.

"We are working jointly with our state and local partners and taking each threat seriously," FBI Special Agent William Facer said in an e-mail.

Facer declined to detail the nature and severity of the threats.

Additionally, the military spokesperson for the Bergdahl family emphasized this is a "law enforcement issue."

All the while, a fallen soldier's mother and a former member of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's unit pressed assertions Saturday that troops were killed while searching for him in Afghanistan. Officials say that there is no such evidence.

The father made a complete ass of himself in public with millions of viewers worldwide so deserves the heat. He is as wacky as his son. I doubt any of these threats are serious. I am a lot more concerned for the families that lost boys who went out looking for this Bergdalh lunatic-traitor-deserter. Six guys got killed by the Taliban

Clive Bundy received a lot of threats.

The IRS issues thousands of threats every day.

I doubt any of the alleged threats are real.

“Your son is an evil traitor, and I hope he is executed for desertion on the battlefield” is probably as bad as it gets, and that is not a threat, just an unnecessarily rude comment. [Why bother - it’s not the traitorous father who makes that decision.]

Makes OUR side LOOK really bad gives their side plenty of AMMO!!!!!

You are assuming that it is our side that is issuing the threats. The liberal playbook is to make fake threats and try to blame them on conservatives.

Think Alinsky.

I can understand him contacting people, even Al Qeada, trying to get his son out.

But once he got in that helicopter, ALL pretense of sympathy would be gone.

His conduct at the White House was inflammatory.

He’s been calling for the freedom of “muslim sons and fathers” from Guantanamo since his son was released.

And how many threats have supporters of traditional marriage gotten from the ghey-stapo after making public statements merely saying they support traditional marriage.

Well the Taliban DID give a warning/threat to Bergdahl when he left Afghanistan “AND DON’T COME BACK!”

Sheriff Joe receives threats all the time (a bomb was even mailed to him last year).

They don’t generate the same level of headlines.

Play the victim.

Wasn’t that long ago that writers were attacking the other troop members who served with Bergdahl (accusing them of war crimes and ugly American activities).

Some loons threaten these people and we are all painted with the same brush.

If the “threats” are credible, the FBI should start making arrests. Unlike the Democrats and Liberals, people on “our side” don't circle the wagons around true Lawbreakers.

We only rally against Government overreach and targeted use of certain Laws that unfairly Target Conservatives. You know, the usual suspects, IRS, BLM, ATF, EPA and any other alphabet Bureaucracy.
