Hagel Admits Obama Ignored Law in Taliban Release ‘The trust has been broken’ between Congress
Free Beacon ^ | 6/11/14 | Adam Kredo

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel admitted that “the trust has been broken” between the White House and Congress following the Obama administration’s decision to skirt U.S. law and release five top Taliban leaders without first consulting with lawmakers.

Hagel admitted to lawmakers on the House Armed Services Committee Wednesday that the administration unilaterally inked a deal with the Taliban to release five top prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp without first notifying Congress, as is legally mandated.

The deal was signed “without providing 30 days notice to Congress,” as is required by law, Hagel told lawmakers before attempting to justify the administration’s decision to ignore this law.

The White House’s decision to skirt this law has prompted the House Armed Services Committee to launch a full investigation into the matter, lawmakers revealed on Wednesday.

Ubama and Holder should spend the rest of their days in a Supermax prison.

Who in the world has ever trusted this Marxist liar? If his purple lips are moving, he’s lying.

If Hagel has any honor at all, he would have already resigned in protest of this disgraceful decision.

I see Hagel about to want to spend a lot more time with his family. He’ll be going down. He must not care. Maybe he has one scintilla of integrity. He’s probably also worried about taking the heat over the friendly fire deaths in Afghanistan over the weekend, figures that one IS on him, but not the Bergdahl/Taliban deal.

This fool keeps talking about the risk of releasing these terrorists. What risk did the Taliban take in releasing Bergdahl?

It’s actually quite a bit more than trust that’s been broken. The law 0bama signed himself has been broken and nobody is doing anything about it.

Try that explanation with the IRS if they ever go after a conservative who is actually breaking tax law. “I wasn’t committing a crime, just skirting the law”. I’m sure the IRS will be just as forgiving as the Media are with all of Obama’s crimes.

I know that answer, because Dems need votes..giving amnesty to millions of illegals means 20+ million new Dem voters..Republicans would never win another election
