State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf engaged in a heated exchange Tuesday with a reporter over the circumstances surrounding Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl’s capture five years ago, saying she does not think his squad mates have the best idea of what happened when he disappeared.
When Fox News reporter Lucas Tomlinson asked, “Does the State Department consider Sergeant Bergdahl to be a deserter?” Harf replied, “The State Department — no, Lucas. Look, what we’ve said is we are going to learn the facts about what happened here.”
“He’s been in captivity, Lucas. I think he’s probably the person who knows best what happened on that night,” Harf said.
Tomlinson shot back, “Well, I think his squad mates have the best indication what happened that night.”
“I don’t think that that’s the case,” Harf responded.
Harf directed Tomlinson to “Google it on the web, and you’ll find a ton of conflicting reports”—dismissing the multiple accounts of Bergdahl’s desertion that have emerged over the past several days.

Credentials are a moot point with me and many other Americans today because of the leftist ideology taught on colleges campuses today and the higher the degree, the more left-leaning it gets. Thirty, in my opinion, is far too young to have the visible position this woman has in our government. Much more experience beyond book learning which can be very flawed, is required to keep nations free. A personal study in human nature is always required and that cannot be learned from a book. Living through a few of life’s personal crisis also helps.
THE MILITARY HAS ALREADY CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION IN 2010 AND IT HAS BEEN SEALED UNTIL 2019!
Okay here’s one scenario the administration could come up with...Bergdahl was embedded with the unit as an undercover CIA agent, who as part of his mission infiltrated the Taliban by posing as a deserter and acquired a wealth of information, that could only be transmitted by him in person, so the trade was the only way to get him out and retrieve that info, he is a Hero.
Due to the sensitivity of his Top Secret mission and for the safety of him and his family, everyone is hereby banned from discussing this issue further, anyone doing so will prosecuted for treason.
In such a scenario the democrats have the cover they need, and would praise Bergdahl and obama, the Rino’s will be more than happy to suck it up.
John “I served in ‘Nam” Kerry’s State Department using the same tactics he did in responding to his fellow Swift Boat vets?
Color me surprised.
(note to USSS: that was sarcasm)
Something doesn't add up about this whole sordid swap shinola and there better be an open investigation about Obama usurping power and causing an act of dereliction of duty!
The muslim sympathizer broke the law!
Hold Obama's usurping ass accountable you congressional asshats!
