Marie Harf said the deal involved “very sensitive diplomatic negotiations” involving the Gulf state and there were “probably very good reasons” not to make the details public.

Well, that was one of those proverbial 'Sherlock moments', wasn't it?

Translation: The American people must remain ignorant of how badly they are being betrayed.

When the Taliban is more honest than the US
Gov’t to the American People, and when
the US Gov’t DECLARES it can only be truthful
and open to the Taliban, then American has
been betrayed.

Huma, please pick up the green telephone.

Of course they don’t want things public. If they were public too many would know they screwed the pooch. As usual.

Per links above, Qatar helped Syrian rebels get weapons.

Per benghazi-gate, weapons came from..... Libya and went to Syria.

This connects Benghazi and the swap.

“Obviously, we’re not going to get into the specifics of the agreement,” Harf said. “But this is an agreement between the head of the government of Qatar [Emir Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani] and the president of the United States, a very high-level agreement about working to mitigate the notion that these five guys will be able to return to the battlefield.”

I love how the folks currently pleading to suspend judgment on this affair until the facts come out are the same ones working as hard as they can to ensure that they never do.

Yeh since the whole transaction was illegal. I’d try to keep it quiet too.
