These excuses are getting so lame you wouldn’t accept them from a six year old.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday he was notified by the administration of the prisoner swap immediately before it happened.

LOL! Ya, right. And we all know that Harry Reid doesn't lie.

How come no mention of the House being notified?

I think this goes back to when Karzai and Obama were knocking heads on negotiating with the Taliban.

Apparently, Obama told Karzai to sc***.

Let's see that agreement again that Karzai wouldn't sign. I think it's a clue.

I guess it’s easier to apologize than to ask permission.

BULL$@%#!

This was suppose to be kept secret. Obama wanted to announce that he had negotiated the release of “an American Hero” without anyone knowing what it cost him. He needed the news cycle to change.

What he didn’t know (incompetence) was that the American was no hero. He is actually likely a traitor. That’s why the details got leaked. Some insiders, who found out late had to dig to find out why terrorists would simply release an American, where pissed about the deal and the cover up, not to mention the absolute and obvious abuse of power.

Pleasing the Taliban was Hussein’s #1 PRIORITY. Congress be damned!!!! It’s pretty obvious Bergdahl was just used as a tool to please the Taliban!

Everyone knew we were working/negotiating with the Taliban...that was in the media reports....but a trade and the release of 5 monsters was not part of that news at any point in time until it was over.

I'll bet the person that knows the most is the CIA dude who got outed. I think he's a dead man walking.

Agree.

Can’t believe they sent Susan Rice out again on a Sunday to lie to the American people.

“Honor and Distinction”?? Why say that? Stick with the “we don’t leave our people behind” party line. Whoops; I guess someone (maybe at Fox) would ask - “What about Benghazi? Left them behind.”

She is supposed to be so smart. Fooled once, shame on the Administration (Hillary), fooled twice - resign!

0bamadullah was afraid Congress would kill this trade. THAT is why he didn’t notify them in advance.

Treason means never having to say you’re sorry :)

Sorry, but we didn’t want any oversight on this one.

Yep, just like everything else, the story changes every few hours, and no one questions it I guess.

I wouldn't fear a Biden presidency as a caretaker for a year or so. We might get gridlock in DC that way.

Rice’s $100 mm fortune speaks to the pockets of many.
