FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) -- Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who walked off his combat outpost in Afghanistan and spent five years in captivity, will be court-martialed under a new commander-in-chief.
A military judge decided Tuesday to delay Bergdahl's trial from August until February to provide time for resolving disputes over the defense team's access to classified documents.

Nope....Obama will be gone when the trial happens.
Obama will definitely pardon him. I agree.
I don’t know if the Presidential Pardon applies to courts martial unless as a final measure of appeal of an already convicted serviceman.
January 19, 2017.

You are correct sir. The Obungler will make sure he walks. This is not difficult to figure out. It will never get to Trump. The fix was in from day one. The pubbie side of the iniparty will pontificate for a few days, then it is business as usual. How I despise politicians.
Bye bye Bergdahl.
He would flee the country like the coward that he is, but that might not save him.
Remember, this is really all about the "bad deal" aka "the trade"......and Hillary had to be complicit.
Andre's attorneys were begging Washington for a reprieve. No dice.
Obammy will give him some sort of pardon or immunity before he leaves and probably make him bathroom compliance czar or something. Guaranteed.
February...
a new Commander-in-Chief...
President Donald J Trump...
:)
Prediction:
Obama pardons bergdahl
How can Buckwheat pardon bergdahl when he hasn’t been convicted of a crime, only charged? (The court martial is the trial).
Ford pardoned Richard Nixon, who had not yet been convicted of anything. A pre-emptive pardon.
Regardless of the defense’s “evidence”, Bergdahl is a Traitor!
...
So is the skinny transgender commie who traded terrorists to get him back.
Bad news couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.. the traitor deserved what he's gonna get - one more reason to vote Trump.
A few more postponements and Bergdahl will have his full twenty in and will probably draw full retirement.
“How can Buckwheat pardon bergdahl when he hasnt been convicted of a crime, only charged?”
Point well taken. Still Professor Barry is a constitutional lawyer you know... So he is above any paltry legal constraints.
Ford pardoned Richard Nixon, who had not yet been convicted of anything. A pre-emptive pardon.
I may be wrong, but I don’t think the UCMJ has a “pre-emptive pardon” provision.
Yes we do, in her case, the 4 Americans in Benghazi was brought home in coffins...
