Its not like this was ever even a secret. At the time the incident happened they were saying Bergdahl walked off. You have to ask yourself the question of why did Obama even negotiate for Bergdahl’s release in the first place. Its not like he was a decorated Navy SEAL or something.

Why did O negotiate for Burgdahl? Perhaps that is the wrong question.

The question should what could O negotiate with to release the 5 Taliban commanders from Gitmo. O has been responsible for destabilizing countries in the ME. It was reported that prior negotiations had stalled for years and Karzai snubbed Obama @ this last visit. An Afghan CIA operative was outed coincidental to O's Memorial Day visit. Did O negotiate directly w/terrorists in order to free the Taliban5 for future further destabilization of Afghanistan?

The answer to your question is fairly easy. Obama wanted a photo-op with Bergdahl's grateful parents to show America that no soldier is left behind. His intention is to distract us from the way our ex-military has been treated by the VA, and how he and Hillary negligently and dishonestly allowed the situation in Benghazi to occur.

With a compliant media on his side, the dem talking points are: "It doesn't matter what we had to give up to get an American hero back. He is now happily going to reunite with his family."

The fact that Obama broke the law by not giving Congress 30 days' notice will be explained away ("exigent circumstances; Bergdahl's health was in danger") and glossed over by the lamestream media.

The fact that the trade sets a dangerous precedent is also being overlooked. The most ridiculous parsing of words I heard from yesterday's designated dem liars was: "We did not negotiate with terrorists. We negotiated with the government of Qatar." Right! That's what I call a distinction without a difference.
