He won’t be brought to formal, open charges because if reports are correct that this administration also paid $5 billion in ransom (of a fashion) it would have to come out in the trial (any decent defending lawyer would demand it).

This will all be obfuscated, diverted and stonewalled until Obama is out of danger and safely in his fabulous retirement.

The Fate of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl

If the reports that 0bama paid $5 BILLION in ransom, in addition to releasing a bunch of terrorists, to get this guy back, then the General (who is probably looking at his retirement) is not going to do anything.

Five BILLION DOLLARS - it was nothing more than excuse to fund the enemy with OUR tax dollars - TREASON!

Like Hasan, he will be rewarded in Obola’s Bizarro-America.

And there will be zero, none, no transparency
nor accountability.

I’m of the opinion that the traitorous bastard should hang, along with his father beside him.

I say we put him in a convertible and give him a parade only instead of dropping paper out the windows, we drop safes.

This whole thing smelled from the start. I truly hope that justice is served here.

He's a political problem for the Chain of Command. I remain hopeful, but would be surprised if he even got an Art-15, mailed-in or otherwise...
