Former Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl filed a lawsuit last week alleging President Donald Trump and the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) caused “undue command influence” in his 2017 court-martial case in which he pleaded guilty on charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.
Bergdahl’s lawsuit, filed in the Washington D.C. federal court, accuses Trump and McCain of unduly influencing his case and further alleges the judge presiding over his original case had a duty to disclose that he was seeking a “lucrative job” with the Trump-era Department of Justice. Bergdahl’s lawsuit seeks to overturn his 2017 conviction, for which he was reduced to the rank of private and dishonorably discharged.
Bergdahl fell captive to the Taliban in June 2009 after leaving his unit’s outpost in eastern Afghanistan, near the Pakistan border. Bergdahl was held by the Taliban for nearly five years before he was released in May 2014 during a prisoner exchange in which five Taliban detainees at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba were traded for Bergdahl.
The lawsuit notes McCain criticized the prisoner exchange in 2014, saying, “I would not have made this deal . . . .I would not have put the lives of American servicemen at risk in the future.” The lawsuit also says Trump “repeatedly vilified” Bergdahl before the 2016 presidential campaign and described him as a traitor at several campaign rallies “suggesting, among other things, that he should be executed.”

McCain and Trump...codefendants.
“Shoot the POS.”
I second that motion
Give the little f****t what he wants.
Vacate the verdict, and then charge him with treason.
Then hang his butt, after the fair trial.
Yes he will pardoned and his rank and benefits restored and in addition he will be given the CMOH.
Why is he still breathing???
Please spell it properly; "He served with di-STINK-tion."
He got off with the most minimal of punishment for desertion in the face of the enemy aqnd now he wants to ride the LEFT into absolution and reward! What a travesty!
The Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces exerted “undue influence” on the armed forces?
Figures, considering this creep doesn’t even know if he’s a boy or a girl.
WHY is this guy still ALIVE?
Why can’t he come down with COVID and one of his preexisting conditions was a bullet in his brain?
Just “wondering” (FBI), I have no such plans or know of anyone with such plans, but we can always hope (just kidding).
Filthy traitor who got US troops killed.
He was no mere deserter. He upped with the other side.
Wasn’t that Obama’s excuse for the Fort Hood shooter? PRE-traumatic stress syndrome?
>> If deserting in the face of the enemy and getting our guys killed, why was he not shot?
Because Barack Obama supports Islamists and loathes the USA.
Yet, no voter, candidate, or citizen has standing before, during, or after an election to challenge ballot fraud.
This piece of sh”t should have been in front of a firing squad
Just hang this pos already!
He pleaded guilty. What’s his problem.
My position is unchanged: He should be imprisoned at Ft. Leavenworth Federal Prison for life at hard labor, without parole. Execution for desertion would be preferable, but the sob sisters would do law suits that would result in him being in prison for life anyway.
Fact is Bergdahl deserted! Beyond that, everything else does not matter.
Hang him with a poorly tied knot.
This criminal did his criminal acts under Obama.
McCain was already on his death bed.
Hang him
