‘Getting worse by the hour’: FNC reports Bergdahl renounced US citizenship
Twitchy ^ | 12:17 pm on June 3, 2014 | Twitchy Staff

Posted on 06/03/2014 10:02:03 AM PDT by Red Steel

" John Ekdahl @JohnEkdahl Follow If confirmed, this would be a bit of a game-changer. 9:52 AM - 3 Jun 2014"

That’s putting it mildly.

If this report from Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin is true, the Bergdahl affair just got a whole lot stickier:

"Jenna Lee ✔ @Jennafnc Follow Great reporting from @JenGriffinFNC - new report: Berghdal left behind a note renouncing American citizenship...developing... 9:43 AM - 3 Jun 2014"

"David Shor @IshYimini Follow

OMG. https://twitter.com/jennafnc/status/473852493286633472 … he left us behind. This is a game changer. He should be happy we didn't drone him. 9:53 AM - 3 Jun 2014"

Somehow, someway, the godless liberals will say this is George Bush’s fault.

RE: If you are a Muslim, you only have to say your renouncement three times. Then you are good to go.

Actually if you are a Muslim and you renounce your faith, you are guilty of apostasy.

Islamic scholarship differs on the appropriate punishment for the apostate (or murtad), which ranges from execution – based on an interpretation of certain hadiths – to no punishment at all as long as they do not rebel against the Islamic society or religion.

The majority of Muslim scholars hold to the traditional view that apostasy is punishable by death or imprisonment until repentance.

If Bush didn’t take us into an unpopular war, this deserter would never have gone to Afghanistan.

Anyone else?

You dhimmi crackers must learn that renouncing citizenship,
as this Hero and your King have done is the HIGHEST level

While that may be true as far as perfecting the renunciation, just saying or writing the words while a soldier in a war zone and then abandoning your post is text book treason.

Yeah, it seems you're right.

http://travel.state.gov/content/travel/english/legal-considerations/us-citizenship-laws-policies/renunciation-of-citizenship.html

A person wishing to renounce his or her U.S. citizenship must voluntarily and with intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship:

appear in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer,
in a foreign country (normally at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate); and
sign an oath of renunciation

Renunciations that do not meet the conditions described above have no legal effect. Because of the provisions of Section 349(a)(5), U.S. citizens cannot effectively renounce their citizenship by mail, through an agent, or while in the United States. In fact, U.S. courts have held certain attempts to renounce U.S. citizenship to be ineffective on a variety of grounds, as discussed below.

And interestingly-

Persons who wish to renounce U.S. citizenship should be aware of the fact that renunciation of U.S. citizenship may have no effect whatsoever on his or her U.S. tax or military service obligations (contact the Internal Revenue Service or U.S. Selective Service for more information). In addition, the act of renouncing U.S. citizenship does not allow persons to avoid possible prosecution for crimes which they may have committed in the United States, or escape the repayment of financial obligations previously incurred in the United States or incurred as United States citizens abroad.

We really need to get to that letter that FOX NEWS says he wrote. Otherwise, we can’t even prove that he renounced his citizenship.

However, this piece of news from the Blaze seems to tell us that the note exists and is being kept for evidence.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/06/03/report-bowe-bergdahl-wrote-a-note-saying-he-wanted-to-renounce-his-american-citizenship/

__________________________________

Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin reported Tuesday that members of Bergdahl’s unit said he left behind a note saying he felt disillusioned with the Army and wanted to renounce his citizenship before he was captured in 2009.

Griffin reported that the note has not been made public, nor been provided to Fox, but is part of the body of evidence being examined in the classified investigation.

Thanks for the ping...

Did you see this one? Obama’s stepping up the heat... Holder’s thugs think they found the excuse they were looking for to ‘go after’ middle class Americans. They’re wrong...
