An attorney for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl said Thursday recent comments made by Donald Trump threaten his client's right to a fair trial, after the presidential candidate called Bergdahl a "dirty, rotten traitor."
At a town hall in New Hampshire on Wednesday, Trump referred to Bergdahl as a "dirty, rotten traitor" and appeared to pantomime his execution while criticizing the soldier's release as part of a prisoner exchange with the Taliban.
Attorney Eugene R. Fidell said in a statement that his client was unable to speak out in his own defense because he is facing a preliminary hearing in the military justice system.
"Nor, as a practical matter, is he [Bergdahl] in a position, for the moment, to bring the defamation lawsuit Mr. Trump richly deserves," Fidell said in the statement.

Bowe Bergdahl joined up with the other side and some of his former compatriots were killed looking for his stinking @$$.
He was promoted in rank while “in captivity” (AKA after he deserted).
Obama sucks.
Yes, Obama sucks. But I don’t see why he would want to promote his fellow traitor.
Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. So drop dead you traitorous SOB!!
Obama was looking for a feel good photo op “Obama Got Bergdahl”. The victory celebration was already planned in Bergdahl’s hometown when the secret about him disappearance started to make some waves.
“We don’t leave Americans behind”. Never mind the hostages in Iran, Iranian Islamists can have $150,000,000,000.00 in frozen assets to conduct more global terrorism.
Obviously, you stupid barrister, if he “should” be, he can’t be!
He didn't give a spit about Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, either.
I won’t say what Bergdahl and his attorney deserve.
His lawyer should review his basic law .... the truth is a perfect defense. His client is a scum sucking low life traitor deserving of a lawyer with similar characteristics!
Why do you say that Counselor? Your client IS a dirty rotten traitor! The whole country knows that.
So truth is no longer a defense?
Ok, dimwit. You're a lawyer for crying out loud. So sue him, already. But, we both know you won't because discovery, like karma, can be a real (rhymes with witch.) Since ya don't got the cojones to actually sue Trump, why don't you shut your pie-hole?
the infowarrior
Yo, Bowe’s pettifogger, I think you have bigger problems to concentrate on than Trump.
And WHY is the TRAITOR LOOSE??? He is NOT in PRISON...he was at a POT FARM a few weeks ago!!!!
