“July 1st and 2nd, in a standard briefing to a commander of his unit, Fourth Brigade of the 25th Infantry Division, we have tapes of Taliban talking on Bergdahl’s phone saying that Bergdahl wanted to join them. And we have the Taliban on their own phones talking about Bergdahl trying to join them.”

As damning as this evidence may be, I doubt it's admissible in court. And even if it was, a competent defense attorney could have it tossed.

There's no opportunity to cross-examine the people who said this. And, it's trivial to cast this as intentional propaganda by Taliban that KNEW they were being monitored.

Saying he wanted to join is not proof that he did.

I should have read further before I replied -- you are correct. And, I'll reiterate that Bergdahl didn't even say this -- it was a third party of questionable veracity.
