” With the full support of the National Security Team” ...and Hagel is on that team?

Now what do they say? The information given to them was wrong?

I guess I just hate them all too much to be reasonable...LOL

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) claimed he was told the day before the Bergdahl was released, but administration officials say that was not true.

Problem is, there’s only one driver of the bus, and Hagel ain’t it.

I think McCain and Goober Graham are going to revoke Hagel’s RINO card for this one. He should have been more bipartisan by saying the final decision to make the deal for Bergdahl was a group collaboration. Chuck, you can forget the media goodwill you’ve built up because you’re about to have your life turned upside down.

Obama is going to need another scandal to knock Bergdahl off the front page.

Already started one, Operation Mexican baby border drop.

“Hagel throws Obama under bus over Bergdahl White House tried to pin swap scandal on Defense chief “

Why should testifying the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth ever be called “throwing someone under the bus”?

...they were not going to kill Bowe.

Bowe was on his death bed, it's a miracle he was able to walk to the rescue chopper.

...a miracle I'm telling ya!

After Hagel’s testimony, the White House issued yet another clarification, stating that it wasn’t Chuck Hagel, it was the guy who works the cash register at the White House gift shop who gave the final approval for the swap.

To be out maneuvered by Hagel requires an extreme lack of talent!

Thank you for the ping! Watching now.

BTW, switching gears here, Hillary says she kept “notes” on Benghazi, in a televised book tour interview. Says the (Gowdy) committee can read about it in the book! Subpoena anyone?

LOL - yep “a miracle I’m telling ya!”

List of lies - so far:

First Bowe Bergdahl’s health was in danger.
Next, we heard that Bergdahl was a soldier who served with honor and distinction,, so we had to rescue him.
Next, we heard that platoon members who knew Bergdahl, and who criticizing him, were ‘Swiftboating’ him.
Next, we were told that Bergdahls fellow soldiers may be psychopaths. Next, Obama fell back on the old, tired, ‘racism/everyone hates me’ card.
Then, we were told by Obama that he has NO regrets for making the swap.
Then we were told that Obama intends to make many more equally-illegal Taliban releases.
Then we were told Congress wasn’t informed of the swap because the Taliban threated to kill Bowe Bergdahl if they were informed.

White House: The Taliban Five Aren’t As Bad As You Think

...and this one, which flies directly in the face of several of Obama’s other excuses: Chuck Hagel did it.

I never thought this was true. I said the day afterwards that Harry Reid was the only Democrat willing to lie for the administration. Or perhaps he is just senile.

What I find funny is the administration realized that his claim was more damaging, because the rest of Congress wanted to know why they weren't also informed.

So, Harry got thrown under the bus. Perhaps the White House is realizing he won't be running the Senate next year.

Did anybody hear the pubbie chairman, Buck McKeown, kissing Hagel’s butt? What a disgrace he says everything would have been “hunky dory” if only the administration advised congress.

Except for Duncan Hunter, these Republican members are not our sharpest knives in the drawer.

She shouldn’t expect Trey Gowdy to read her book. He didn’t become a successful prosecutor by basing his cases on fictional accounts. ;-)
