Breitbart ^ | 6/1/14 | staff

On Sunday’s “State of the Union” on CNN, House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) explained to moderator Candy Crowley why the Obama administration’s deal to secure American prisoner of war Bowe Bergdahl’s release for five Guantanamo detainees was a bad deal and broke law.

According to Rogers, this sends the wrong message to terrorists around the world.

“[W]e have other means to use, and remember, they came to Congress about a year ago and we're thinking about doing these negotiations. And by the way, they didn't get a very warm reception from either party in the national security committees. They said this is fraught with trouble. So this all of a sudden comes a year later. They didn't notify Congress. I think they violated the law in two different places here. Why is because this is a -- this is morphing into different places.

Nothing. The communists Democratic control of this Government is so strong nothing can be done. America is finished and most Americans don't have a clue what has happened.

And I wonder what the criminal penalties are for violating this law. What’s that, there are none? Oh! Well, that’s my assumption at least.

Dude, this deal happened yesterday. At this point what difference does it make? It’s because Obama’s black, right?

OK, Congressman Rogers. So what are you going to do about it? Well, that would take consensus on the part of all R’s in the House. So which of you CongressMen are going to get going on gathering support? Those would have been the follow-up questions I’d have asked were I a reporter/host.

Most reporters are too afraid to even go that far. They might not be invited to the next awards dinner.

What law? The king doesn't adhere to no stinking law! He does as he damn well pleases, to hell with the people's law....he is king! And, our spineless Congress, so afraid of the media because they might affect reelection chances, can only rattle their spoons and mumble to themselves.

According to Rogers, this sends the wrong message to terrorists around the world.

REALLY? It sends a message alright -— to us and the rest of the world that Zero does what Zero wants, and no one does a damn thing about it. The next two years are going to be rough. It seems like he’s ramping up to something really bad and big.

Get a clue, Mike . . . this president does not accept your laws and will not enforce anything that goes against sharia law.

Obama obviously broke the law and committed and egregious crime.

So what are you going to about that now, Mr House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI)?
