Agreed. But I think Trump ought not to be saying such things — because if he is elected POTUS, Bergdahl’s lawyers might have good grounds for an appeal, on the basis of something like command influence.

I’ll take that trade. A Trump/Cruz administration in return for Bergdahl getting off. Not ideal, but pretty good. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Sorry but I disagree! It’s this kind of fuzzy thinking that leads us where we are today. The reason Trump is where he is in the polls is because he is speaking the truth. The tangential “idea” that somehow speaking the truth might compromise this guy’s prosecution is a big, big, stretch. Trump is today a private citizen, entitled to say whatever he wants.

LOL. Welcome to the crowd of who want to tell Trump, "You can't say that!"
