AP: Congress not told of swap because Taliban threatened to kill him if agreement was leaked.

Just Breaking on AP wires.......I have heard it all now.......lies lies and more lies.

[FamiliarFace]

It really chaps my @ss that this is the latest excuse. That they “worried” about Bergdahl so much that they had to rescue him, but our oh so caring president couldn’t so much as lift a finger to send an order to attempt rescue of Ambassador Stevens and others in Benghazi. This is just another lie. Lie after lie after lie after lie. I’m beginning to think that Obama really is Satan’s (the father of lies) son.

[GOPJ]

Bull crap...

[floriduh voter]

It looks to me like the Taliban have replaced Jay Carney as press secretary. Let’s hug us some deserter parents on the white house steps for sanctifying the white house as hallowed rop ground.

[Tea Party Terrorist]

They expect you to go along with everything they do, without question.

Questioning them is unpatriotic. Does this sound familiar?

[Empireoftheatom48]

Almost six years of this, crescendo after crescendo of the most unmitigated BULL$HIT, THIS CONTRY HAS EVER SEEN! I DONT KNOW IF WE WILL MAKE IT OUT WITHOUT TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES! LORD HELP US!

[Amish with an attitude]

Sounds like a replay of their Benghazi strategy, including Susan Rice lying.

[mmichaels1970]

Congress not told of swap because Taliban threatened to kill him if agreement was leaked.

So they were ok with informing congressional intelligence about the Bin Laden operation four months prior to taking him out. But they were afraid to disclose THIS agreement? It's bull. I've tried to figure out how this can possibly be true. But the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that this is a lie.

[exit82]

An outrage a day, a Cloward-Piven strategy applied to everything and everybody.

[larryleo]

I’m interested to hear the Taliban’s reaction to this latest lie. They may say we never threatened to kill him over that. Then the Obama admin says “Who are you going to believe?” which then puts the GOP siding with the Taliban. It’s brilliant.

[FamiliarFace]

Except that in Benghazi, we didn’t care so much about our ambassador and other personnel that we would even risk a rescue for them.

When will Congress have enough of the lies and the bull? It is high time to start impeachment proceedings. The American people have no trust left.

[Labyrinthos]

Why doesn't the Administration just tell us the truth: Bergdahl was actually working as a CIA operative whose mission was to go AWOL and allow himself to get captured as a cover to infiltrate the Taliban. In the meantime, the CIA has spent the last five years brainwashing and reprogramming the five outstanding young men that O’Bammy released from Gitmo as part of the the faux prisoner exchange, with the intent that they return to Pakistan/Afghanistan as CIA operatives. "Yeah! That's the ticket."

[FamiliarFace]

Sure does!

[Labyrinthos]

Let’s not forget that O’Bammy’s core constituency is low information voters who will believe anything he says.

[edpc]

Amazing. They managed to combine the preposterous with convenience.

[RKBA Democrat]

This is good. I guess the next excuse will be “the dog ate my note to congress.”

[petitfour]

In Benghazi, we see how Obama failed once again. The object was for the Gitmo guy who attacked the mission and annex to take prisoners so he could exchange them for other Gitmo detainees. Obama has wanted to let more Gitmo terrorists go since Day One. As is the case each time, some patriotic Americans get in the way. This time, Bam Bam thought if he kept it all a secret until after the fact, he could get away with it. Maybe we have some patriots in DC who will do their jobs for a change.

Erick Erickson ‏@EWErickson 13m How did the president know the Taliban would kill the hostage since it was not in the newspaper?

[RedMDer]

The damaging leaks come from the WH outing operatives.

[SoFloFreeper]

Sure.

Right.

This makes the Clown look even weaker—letting the terrorists dictate the terms of a deserter’s release.

Here is the Clown’s line today: “I broke the law because the terrorists told me I must.”

Yeah, go with that one, Barry.
