Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel admitted that the trust has been broken between the White House and Congress following the Obama administrations decision to skirt U.S. law and release five top Taliban leaders without first consulting with lawmakers.
Hagel admitted to lawmakers on the House Armed Services Committee Wednesday that the administration unilaterally inked a deal with the Taliban to release five top prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp without first notifying Congress, as is legally mandated.
The deal was signed without providing 30 days notice to Congress, as is required by law, Hagel told lawmakers before attempting to justify the administrations decision to ignore this law.
The White Houses decision to skirt this law has prompted the House Armed Services Committee to launch a full investigation into the matter, lawmakers revealed on Wednesday.

Obama: I released the Taliban because.... screw you
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Chucky H better get his underbus helmet ready and ‘spend more time with my family’ speech ready.
I thought this stuff was becoming unbelievable over 5 years ago.
What’s next?
ugh
8 USC § 2339A Providing material support to terrorists
If the trust is broken then why the rush for amnesty
Ubama and Holder should spend the rest of their days in a Supermax prison.
Who in the world has ever trusted this Marxist liar? If his purple lips are moving, he’s lying.
Horns and tail popping out and Soros revealing he is actually Satan in the flesh on earth.
If Hagel has any honor at all, he would have already resigned in protest of this disgraceful decision.
I see Hagel about to want to spend a lot more time with his family. He’ll be going down. He must not care. Maybe he has one scintilla of integrity. He’s probably also worried about taking the heat over the friendly fire deaths in Afghanistan over the weekend, figures that one IS on him, but not the Bergdahl/Taliban deal.
My favorite saying with regards to this imbecile is “if his lips flutter, then he’s lying”.........I detest him!
This fool keeps talking about the risk of releasing these terrorists. What risk did the Taliban take in releasing Bergdahl?
It’s actually quite a bit more than trust that’s been broken. The law 0bama signed himself has been broken and nobody is doing anything about it.
You know damned well whats coming.
btw, he later denied that he said “Trust has been broken.”
Hey! That's my line!
Try that explanation with the IRS if they ever go after a conservative who is actually breaking tax law. “I wasn’t committing a crime, just skirting the law”. I’m sure the IRS will be just as forgiving as the Media are with all of Obama’s crimes.
I know that answer, because Dems need votes..giving amnesty to millions of illegals means 20+ million new Dem voters..Republicans would never win another election
