Dianne Feinstein: White House sorry for ‘oversight’ in Bergdahl deal
Washington Times ^ | 6/3/2014 | S.A. Miller

Posted on 06/03/2014 2:52:05 PM PDT by mojito

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein said Tuesday that the White House told her that it was on “oversight” that Congress didn’t receive the required notification about the prisoner exchange deal that secured the release of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

Mrs. Feinstein, California Democrat, said the excuse came from Tony Blinken, President Obama’s deputy national security adviser.

“Tony Blinken called last night and said that it was an oversight or something to that effect. So I accept that,” she told reporters at the Capitol.

Ever since B-J Clinton lied to her face about Monica Lewinsky on national television, the dishonorable Diane Feinstein always puts Party above all else ... all else. And that obama looks like he could possibly be negro makes it so much easier for her to rationalize doing so.

“Tony Blinken called last night and said that it was an oversight or something to that effect. So I accept that,” she told reporters at the Capitol.

She also stated that she had been mixing opiates with her Geritol and was not responsible for any statements that could be misconstrued as stupid by the press.

"President Barack Obama on Tuesday defended his decision (snip) saying his administration had consulted with Congress "for some time" about that possibility."

Uh, Barry, there's a difference between consulting with Congress and notifying them that a deal has been made.

And by the way, Barry, you are a traitor and need to be in jail.

5 high-risk terrorists freed without Congressional approval, and the action is considered an “oversight”. Now is it a teensy-weensy oversight or a big-bad oversight?

Confused about Obama’s foreign policy? With Clinton’s foreign policy?

You are likely familiar with the “Hierarchy of Needs” - Things a human MUST have in order survive: for a minute, for an hour, for a day, for a week, for a year, etc. Until those needs are met, he or she cannot look for less important things. Air, water, food, clothing, shelter, etc .. All can get ranked according to a human’s most important priorities.

Now consider every foreign policy decision, speech, foreign leader, foreign trip (well - except vacations), and foreign award or recognition Obama has chosen since 2008.

In every case, when given a public choice, Obama has chosen American over Israeli;

American (if democrat-donor or government-enhanced) over republican/capitalist/energy/white/male/oil/red state;

European-republics over America;

European-socialist governments over European-republics;

3rd world socialist-republics over European-socialist governments;

socialist-selected governments over socialist-elected governments;

socialist-dictatorships over socialist-selected governments;

communist governments over socialist dictatorships;

Islamic republics over communist governments;

Islamic secular states over Islamic republics;

Islamic dictatorships over Islamic secular states;

Islamic-tolerant states over Islamic dictatorships;

Islamic religious states over Islamic-tolerant states;

Islamic Sharia states over Islamic religious states;

Islamic fundamentalist states over Islamic Sharia-compliant states;

Radical Islamic bands over Islamic fundamentalist states.

When do you think that old Diane will have the good grace to kick the bucket and leave the rest of us alone?
She is living proof that the good die young, I expect that she will still be going strong at a 120 years old and the dummies in Mexifornia will still be reelecting her.

So they tell Feinstein it was an oversight and Susan Rice tells everyone else that they did not inform congress because of concerns about Bergdahl’s health and there wasn’t time to notify Congress.

So, the next time I don’t see the posted speed limit and I get pulled over, I’ll just tell the cop that it was an oversight. I’m sure he’ll be cool with that.

“You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes!

You say.. “Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?” First.. get a million dollars.

Now.. you say, “Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, ‘You.. have never paid taxes’?”

Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: “I forgot!”

How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don’t say “I forgot”?

Let’s say you’re on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, “I forgot armed robbery was illegal.” Let’s suppose he says back to you, “You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, ‘I forgot’?”

Two simple words: “Excuuuuuse me!!”

And of course this all happens just days after Barry makes a “surprise” trip to Afghanistan on Memorial Day and somehow someone at the WH leaks the cover of the CIA station chief in Kabul.

I'm sure it's all just a big co-inky dink.
