Mike Rogers: WH Claims on Bergdahl Don't Match Records

Rep. Mike Rogers says he's been looking at the records of meetings White House staffers have had with the House Intelligence Committee he chairs, and they don't match up with claims the administration is making.

According to The Washington Post, Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and Press Secretary Jay Carney say the White House has been briefing Congress for five years on a potential deal to free Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from Taliban captors.

But Rogers told CNN on Monday that the stories they are telling now differ from what they said in the past.

Bergdahl was freed Saturday in exchange for five Taliban leaders held by the United States at its Guantanamo Bay prison. Rogers is among a bipartisan group of lawmakers who think the deal was improperly negotiated.

He told "Fox & Friends" on Monday that the deal was a "political stunt." On CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer," he said the administration is "misleading" the public in the aftermath.

I was honestly shocked at the honest treatment this got on NBC evening news.

Of course afterwards they jumped into severe weather in Nebraska and Iowa threatening millions caused by globull warming.

THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, MIKE RODGERS!

This man being allowed to get away with whatever he wants is going to bite us in the ass really good one day, and we are going to damn well deserve that bite, because we have allowed this.

[what's up]

He just did something.

He's alerting the public about the facts of the case.

I hear ya.. It's like Rep. Chaffetz b*tching and moaning like he's sitting in a bar talking politics. YOU'RE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR, JASON, BUT UNLIKE US YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!,/B>

Hell no, nothing matches. Expect nothing more than this when the ONE is in charge. Every thing he touches is fraudulent.

I was honestly shocked at the honest treatment this got on NBC evening news.

I don't think there is any way out of this for the MSM, liberals, rinos or any Obama coddling prick. This is at worst complete law breaking, and at best the STUPIDEST swap in history! This whole administration needs to be impeached NOW!

I mean, even if you had the most heroic, brave, honorable military man ever, you're still not going to swap him for 5 radical terrorist murderers. What complete imbecilic dumbasses would even think of doing this?

I guess we have our answer! Unless they are trying to COVER another one of their CRIMES up with this idiocy. VA, Benghazi, gun running, etc...

WH claims don’t match the usurper’s record either.

[grania]

Why would the RINOs DO anything about it? They can use it as a campaign issue. (sarcasm)

I must have seen a different report in the wee hours this morning when the cat stepped on the remote flipping it to the never watched NBC. They were interviewing a soldier who was there and said he had deserted and men were killed hunting for him and, yeah, I was honestly shocked but then.... drum roll.... they flip flopped to end it with "but, but, he's a heeerrrroooo!!!"

The communists empire of King Obama has no current opposition.

[kingattax]

i respectfully beg to differ my friend.

the Lord opposes all this evil.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

If the Lord opposed all evil, then why is Obama, Michele, Rice, Axelrod, Rhodes, Powers, etc in power?

Maybe God took a smoke break when Hitler and Stalin and Mao and Ho were around too.

We are the ones who fight evil (my family’s record - Iwo Jima, Nam, Iraq).

God inspires us to fight evil.

“when the cat stepped on the remote”

My kat did that! I had to get a geek over to reprogram my tv and it’s remote! She messed everything up! I don’t leave the remote on the floor anymore!

[mojito]

0bama’s entire life is one lie constructed on top of another. I doubt if he or the underlings directly responsible thought for a nanosecond that accountability would be required here when it had clearly never been thought necessary, or even desirable, in the past.

[chiefqc]

Why does ANYONE believe ANYTHING that come from the sock puppet of the mac daddy corrupt administration.

[excalibur21]

We have voted and legislated God out of our government and lives so, he seems to only be respecting our wishes. The Bible clearly states that if we humble ourselves before Him, turn away from the behaviors that He objects to, He will heal our land. Its not going to get better unless that happens.
