Taliban prisoner swap was ILLEGAL and could lead to Obama's IMPEACHMENT | Mail Online

Taliban prisoner swap was ILLEGAL claims GOP as former federal prosecutor says it could lead to Obama's impeachment

The president ignored a law – which he signed last year – requiring him to notify Congress 30 days before releasing anyone from Guantanamo Bay
The Obama administration never told Capitol Hill until after Bergdahl was in American custody and the US Taliban prisoners were preparing to leave
A former federal prosecutor told MailOnline that while the 30-day-notice law is probably unconstitutional, putting enemy combatants back in a position to harm Americans is an impeachable offense
A White House insider said Obama administration officials didn't anticipate how controversial Bergdahl's rescue would be, and compared it to the 1981 release of 52 US hostages in Iran

It's about time obama did something unconstitutional! Oh, wait...
 
Re: Taliban prisoner swap was ILLEGAL claims GOP as former federal prosecutor says it

Obama is NOT going to be impeached. People have been wishing and waiting for that since he was elected the first time. He is in for the duration, and we will just have to hope that we get someone better next time around, but I wouldn't be holding my breath on that. We're stuck with him, like it or not.

Not to side with Obama, but there are plenty of legitimate things he has done wrong. This is not one of them. He is not bound to illegal laws passed by congress, and this is an executive decision.

The GOP could have furthered their agenda immensely if they had worked with Obama over these past 6 years. Obama is a centrist on virtually everything. When the GOP played ball, they got like 98% of what they wanted.

These were not combatants.

They are just ******s. A rescue would have been better than a prisoner exchange.

Imo, he wouldn't be worse than what we have. At least no one takes him seriously. :lol:

If i remember correctly and i know I do, The left did not want any help from the right.

You know this how? Oh so we commonly place non combatants in gitmo huh?

LOL...

Don't make me laugh. They have close to zero credibility. At the end of the day, they only care about ratings. Not fact. So do most news networks.

Yep. There is no way to get the needed votes for impeachment in the Senate - and, of course, there is the Joe Biden factor. ;)

Generally speaking, why should I care if Congress is told or not?

They were higher level individuals, two of them I heard were civilian. Leaders. Not the ones that actually wielded weapons, hence were not combatants.

Don't you do independent sourcing of facts for threads you join in on?

Buy Joe might quietly push for the impeachment among his senate friends...

Joe Biden does very little quietly. ;)

So the right allowed themselves to be manipulated into self-destruction by the left? Not sure I follow.

Oh i agree CNN is a joke of a "news" Source BUT CNN is always first in line to kiss Baracks butt its pretty big once CNN even admits he did some illegal.

the right tried to get into to help with obummercare and they were pushed away along with other things.

I still disagree with the illegal part, but it is refreshing to see CNN finally attack the president on something instead if protect him.

I would have preferred a rescue, but then I don't know enough of the facts. The setting matters. It would be an international nightmare if such a rescue occurred in an urban setting.
 
Re: Taliban prisoner swap was ILLEGAL claims GOP as former federal prosecutor says it

Supporting the troops suddenly became a lot less popular once Obama started doing it.

I beg to differ with you LOP. While you make the case that the laws are illegal passed by Congress, many could make that claim on several issues. Nevertheless, currently they are the LAW.
Obama did not make a wise trade. PFC Bergdahl (he was promoted to sergeant while being held captive) is well documented that he was a disserter and good honorable paratroopers lost their lives searching for this bastard. Various sources from Bergdahl’s unit, the 501st Airborne Infantry are reporting in around the Web with this information:


PFC Matthew Michael Martinek, Staff Sgt. Kurt Robert Curtiss, SSG Clayton Bowen, PFC Morris Walker, SSG Michael Murphrey, 2LT Darryn Andrews, were all KIA from our unit who died looking for Bergdahl. Many others from various units were wounded or killed while actively looking for Bergdahl.

Here’s Article 85 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the statutory regulation dealing with desertion:


(c) Any person found guilty of desertion or attempt to desert shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, but if the desertion or attempt to desert occurs at any other time, by such punishment, other than death, as a court-martial may direct.

And the damning evidence against PFC Bergdahl from those in his unit is being made known via the Internet. He made no secret of his disillusionment with America, sending emails to his parents, one of which contained this statement, “The system is wrong. I am ashamed to be an american. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools... I am sorry for everything here”
A fellow trooper, Jason Fry, has gone on the record that Bergdahl told him, "If this deployment is lame, I'm just going to walk off into the mountains of Pakistan."

So justify anyway you can the release of 5 rabid Taliban who will be out soon orchestrating more killings of Americans in exchange for what is shaping up to be one lame ass dissserter.

The ACA should have had some support by the GOP. The mandate (the only thing conservatives hate about Obamacare) was a free market solution developed by the Heritage Foundation and adopted by Romney before it was implemented by Obama.

What do you expect the Dems to do when the GOP walks away from their own ideas?

States rights. Obama steps all over the 10th.
