House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) said the Obama administration could be pushing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel as the "fall guy" for the controversial prisoner swap that freed Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after five years in Taliban captivity.
Administration briefers told his committee that Hagel was ultimately the one who decided to execute the swap, McKeon told Fox News on Tuesday.
"It sounded like it was a presidential program all the way, [but] now that there's been a little pushback yesterday in our briefing, the briefers from the various departments were asked who made the final decision, and they said Secretary Hagel," McKeon said. "So I hope they're not just pushing him out to be a fall guy for this."

Team Obama=Septic Tank Obama!
"Truly it wasn't me! Maybe it was Julie!"
Interesting shift. Especially after Obama said HE himself made the decision and would do it again. But like anything witht the MSM, if a lie falls in the woods and no one reports it is it a lie.
Does he even hold Cabinet meetings?
We know it’s not Hagel because he hasn’t been fired.
This is embarrassing. This is Obama.
Next: Susan Rice saw a video, ah, right. And, ah, yeah, she insisted that we swap Bergdahl. The President didn’t even know about the details. He is too busy to notice minute details in every department.
Typical Obama.....
Of course, hang Hagel, dopey didn’t konw a thing till he had someone read it to him in the paper.
Obama was on vacation when it happened.
When he got back he was ‘Mad as Hell’
But he says “I cant leave even one soldier behind”
Even though he was ‘out of the loop’
Obama :”They never tell me anything around here. But I take full responsibility even though I learned about it when you all did.”
