There’s no connecting dots. It’s all one big dot.
Beat me to it. It's turned into one massive dot with million$$$ of extra dots orbiting soon to be pulled into it.
I don't believe it took his presence to out the CIA dude but something more that demanded him to make a super duper secret trip over there. The outing could have been done by one phone call from him or Val. Money could have been carried by some lowly staffer. Bergdahl has been cooling his heels for 5 years so nothing pressing there. I suspect the trip was so he could meet face to face with specific good buddy terrorists who aren't allowed into the US and couldn't be seen entering the WH and most of all to avoid the NSA snooping in on a phone call with them. There is no telling what the US gave up.
