An odd coincidence in the Bergdahl release? (Highest level of Treason if proven)

There are a few potentially important details surrounding the timeline leading to Bowe Bergdahl’s release that might deserve some discussion.

Truth Revolt supplies some details on the timeline:

This week’s [the week of Bergdahl’s release] secret diplomacy was not the first time the U.S. government had engaged the Taliban in an effort to negotiate a prisoner swap for the release of Bergdahl. In 2011, State Department officials held a series of meetings with Taliban leaders in Doha.

In Congress, there was bipartisan opposition to any release of Guantanamo prisoners. After the negotiations were made public in early 2012 by Sen. Dianne Feinstein the Taliban announced they were pulling out of the talks.

Truth Revolt continues:

The U.S. official praised this operation [the operation leading to Bergdahl’s release] as a show of interagency cooperation—it was a whole-government effort that he said had been in the works for five years. “We really got traction in the last week but we never lost sight of Bergdahl,” he said.

So, Bergdahl was left in Taliban hands in 2009, meetings were held to get him back in 2011, Feinstein went public about the talks in 2012 and the Taliban left the table. Then, Obama suddenly gained “traction” in the midst of a cresting VA scandal that pierced even the NBC shield.

This one if found true by itself deserves not just removal but the firing squad.

I think it is more likely that the CIA station chief was adamantly opposed to the swap of terrorists for a deserter, and threatened to expose or scuttle it.

The "slip" was simply a way to remove him from the scene of the crime.

And ... was there any connection to the 'accidental' outing of a CIA official in Afghanistan ...?

I think you nailed it.

Boy, do I think you have it ABSOLUTELY NAILED there!

DiFi said Obama broke the law. DiFi must have needed more money in her ‘in box’ and did not receive the payoff money in her ‘in box’ to have said this.

The stink in the White House just keeps getting worse.

One thing I’ve been wondering about w/r/t the “outing” of the CIA station chief:

He, of course, can be whisked out of country on the next flight home.

But what about all those Afghanis who have been seen in his company since his arrival?

Oh well. Maybe no one among the bad guys was paying attention.

Beware, I foresee the two major sheiks we have in captivity (WTC 1 AND WTC 2)being released by Obama before he leaves. One does not need a crystal ball to see that coming. Looks like we need some more people captured by them so we can get those two released for them. (Too bad the Ambassador Smith kidnapping went foul.)

Guest Blogger, Raven-Wolf: Bergdahl, How pride and arrogance kept us from getting him back

Lots of bhind the scenes intel information in this post may help with background details during that period of time - in relation to Burgdahl.

According to this UKGuardian Jan,2012 account, early negotiations for the GITMO-5 did not mention Bergdahl as part of the bargain:

• Taliban leaders held at Guantánamo Bay to be released in peace talks deal

  US agrees in principle to releasing top officials from Afghanistan insurgent group in exchange for starting process of negotiations.

  Keep in mind, this took place while Hillary was SoS

‘I think it is more likely that the CIA station chief was adamantly opposed to the swap of terrorists for a deserter, and threatened to expose or scuttle it.’
My thought also. Another distraction from the WH, business as usual.
I do not believe in coincidences.

Ping to thread!

Thanks, everyone, for the analysis!

High treason is going on...

Al Qaeda - acquired Omar Abdul-Rahman (Blind Sheikh) and Tamerlan Anzorovich Tsarnaev (Bomb Maker) from the Obama Administration for future considerations. Assigned Tsarnaev to their AAA farm team in Yemen.

I think it’s exactly the opposite. The threat of exposing the CIA station chief is leverage on the agent. Exposing the agent removes that leverage - what would stop him exposing the swap of terrorists for a deserter?

[okie01]

Perhaps the Taliban, in full view of an Obama mired in a disastrous VA scandal, were holding out for still more -- like the identity of a CIA station chief -- and got it?

That's a possible construction. Of course, it is.

Here's another:
The five Talibani leaders are a make good for a failed Blind Sheik exchange. Amb. Stevens' death queered the first deal...so that Obama owed the Muslim Brotherhood one. The Talibanis were the "compensation pick".

Whatever it is, one can be certain that whatever this administration claims was their motivation is a lie.

“This one if found true by itself deserves not just removal but the firing squad. “

I agree. Bergdahl should also be executed.
