If he did, it wasn’t because he “had” to, it was because he wanted to!
I’ve heard we paid 5-6 million.
date: Feb 18, 2014: Obama administration 'to offer Taliban 5 Gitmo prisoners in exchange for last Afghanistan POW Bowe Bergdahl who has spent four years captive'
"The Taliban offered to release him in exchange for $1 million and 21 Afghan prisoners."
Sounds like the Mexican Government.
Good. The question needs to be asked and must be answered.
One thing though: “renumeration” isn’t a word, “remuneration” is.
The big guys response will be to give the letter to the irs and have them do something about it.....
Does the congressman really think we live in a constitutional republic, with a president who respects the constitution and the law?
“Why yes, Steve. I used taxpayer $$$ from the shovel-ready fund.”
The US has been paying the Haqqani network at least once a week for many many years for security of the overland resupply logistics network.
Not even an open secret, it’s been widely reported and documented etc for years and years.
My guess is that if he was being held by the Haqqaini Network, then the 5 Terrorists were just cover for the ransom money. IOW the Terrorists were just released to cover up the fact that we paid these guys a huge ransom.
Personally I think Bergdahl was living the happy life of a Bedouin jihadist wannabe and doing his 5 daily prayer rug butt raises when he was asked to do a mission for Allah and found himself being handed over to the enemy.
He sure didn’t look like a happy camper when that helicopter arrived.
In regards to the headline, my only comment is to link this other headline
So what if he did. He’ll only be punished for it if it came out of Mooches vacation fund.
Five of the worst Taliban terrorist commanders are right now roaming free in Qatar. [] The agreement was “very high level agreement” between the “head of the government of Qatar and the President of the United States”Was Libya about arming al qaeda in Syria?If there is a common interest shared by the head of Qatar and Obama, it’s [that] both leaders are invested in the removal of Al-Assad and a vacuum being filled by the rebels.
The lopsidedness of the deal – coupled with the fact that these prisoners are not even being jailed in Qatar upon their arrival – suggests that they will be human assets to Qatar if they are able to help with the fight in Syria. (emphasis added)

Is this about installing al qaeda in Syria?
From Egypt to Libya to Syria, the radical muslim Obama is using the U.S. to topple governments and install the Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaeda in their place.
It may be Stockman already knows obama paid out, and has proof, if the letter goes unanswered then Stockman can produce proof.
A bit of wishful thinking? One can hope!
Anyone think that would finally sink the Kenyan?
