1) The "Hagel decided" thing will come down to the press misunderstanding / misreporting what was meant. It will turn out that Hagel decided not to tell Congress, not that he decided the release. That insulates Øbama from the legal exposure. The Chuckster goes under the bus.
2) That Bergdahl was indeed a traitor. There are fringe reports in the news now that the search parties had "shoot on sight" orders. It will turn out that Bowe gave material aid to the Tali-man, teaching about IED's, etc. To his defense, dad will say that his son just wanted to protect the poor peasants from the big, bad army.
3) and because of 2, Øbama thought it was definitely worthwhile to trade 5 not-so-bad-guys-after-all. Already we're hearing reports they were just provincial officials, political, not military. Barry thought is a good trade to give them up for the more dangerous turncoat so that ...
4) Øbama can bring a traitor to justice as part of his grand wrap-up of "the just war."
I impart no sense of truth to the above, it is just the way I see the reporting headed. The 10 days of lies will be passed off as necessary stalling tactics while the gubermint sorted things out, get the debrief from Bowe, etc. and it was all in the name of national security.
What if Bowe has indeed gone full Muslim? I think there is a very good chance that is the case and explains perhaps why he has not communicated with Mom and Dad.
For all his foibles, I believe that Dad is still a Christian. This was asserted by associates of his who claimed to have recently spoken with him.
