The White House has apologized to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) for failing to alert her in advance of a decision to release Taliban commanders from Guantanamo Bay.
Feinstein told reporters that she received a call from Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken on Monday evening apologizing for what the administration is calling an “oversight.”
“I had a call from the White House last night, from Tony Blinken, apologizing for it,” she said.
“He apologized and said it was an oversight,” she added.

These excuses are getting so lame you wouldn’t accept them from a six year old.
LOL! Ya, right. And we all know that Harry Reid doesn't lie.
How come no mention of the House being notified?
Apparently, Obama told Karzai to sc***.
Let's see that agreement again that Karzai wouldn't sign. I think it's a clue.
I guess it’s easier to apologize than to ask permission.
Oversight? Lol.
Easy to do after the fact. What a crock!
BULL$@%#!
This was suppose to be kept secret. Obama wanted to announce that he had negotiated the release of “an American Hero” without anyone knowing what it cost him. He needed the news cycle to change.
What he didn’t know (incompetence) was that the American was no hero. He is actually likely a traitor. That’s why the details got leaked. Some insiders, who found out late had to dig to find out why terrorists would simply release an American, where pissed about the deal and the cover up, not to mention the absolute and obvious abuse of power.
LOL! The dog ate my notification.
Pleasing the Taliban was Hussein’s #1 PRIORITY. Congress be damned!!!! It’s pretty obvious Bergdahl was just used as a tool to please the Taliban!
I'll bet the person that knows the most is the CIA dude who got outed. I think he's a dead man walking.
and end up with Biden?
no thanks!
Liar, Liar...Pants on Fire!
Agree.
Can’t believe they sent Susan Rice out again on a Sunday to lie to the American people.
“Honor and Distinction”?? Why say that? Stick with the “we don’t leave our people behind” party line. Whoops; I guess someone (maybe at Fox) would ask - “What about Benghazi? Left them behind.”
She is supposed to be so smart. Fooled once, shame on the Administration (Hillary), fooled twice - resign!
0bamadullah was afraid Congress would kill this trade. THAT is why he didn’t notify them in advance.
Treason means never having to say you’re sorry :)
Sorry, but we didn’t want any oversight on this one.
Reid, Pelosi, McConnell, McCain, Cornyn and Boehner were told in advance of the release..
Yep, just like everything else, the story changes every few hours, and no one questions it I guess.
I wouldn't fear a Biden presidency as a caretaker for a year or so. We might get gridlock in DC that way.
Rice’s $100 mm fortune speaks to the pockets of many.
