Claire McCaskill: Bowe Bergdahl 'rush to judgment' is 'un-American'
Politico ^ | Wednesday, June 4, 2014 | Burgess Everett

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) on Wednesday evening lashed out at “un-American” rush to judgment over the military record of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, following an all-senators briefing on the prisoner swap that led to the soldier’s release.

One of the last senators to leave the two-hour meeting with administration officials, McCaskill said she hopes that eventually all the facts surrounding Bergdahl’s service are declassified “in fairness to the soldier and his family.”

“What’s unfortunate is that many people have spoken out about this episode without having all the facts,” McCaskill said in an interview. “I’m not going to make a judgment. There are circumstances that are difficult for this soldier and his family

“But there’s a lot of facts the people don’t have right now. And this rush to judgment is frankly un-American. Especially considering that this is somebody who signed up and said: ‘I’m willing to die for my country.’ And was held in captivity for five years.”

She added: “I’m just anxious for all of the facts to get out there. I think a lot of them will be become public.”

I would say the American who got droned to death by the Obama team, which Claire is a part of, would have a different opinion of a “rush to judgement”

THEM: A rush to judgement without the facts is unAmerican.

US: So when will we get the facts?

THEM: Sorry, we can’t release those facts to you.

The fact is the Obama people said they didn’t have time to notify Congress 30 days in advance of the swap because Bergdahl’s health was so poor that it was thought he wouldn’t survive.

Then the Taliban released a video of his release to special forces. And there he was as healthy as could be, standing straight up and walking normally. There was no health condition that couldn’t wait 30 days.

The fact is the administration and their idiot face in Susan Rice lied through their teeth.

Megan Kelly of Fox News just said she will have six of Bergdahl’s platoon-mates on Tomorrow night.

Is that “un-American”? /sarc

Meanwhile, they sit on their hands while real Veterans die waiting to get into VA hospitals.

Claire McCaskill: Bowe Bergdahl 'rush to judgment' is 'un-American'

Responding to government propaganda, using the available facts, when the propaganda machine keeps spouting BS, is now "rushing to judgment?"

OK.

Never mind the deserter.

What about these scumbags the marxist in chief released?

These 5 were named by the Taliban as the ones they wanted out of GB.

This is like releasing Hess, Goering, Borrman, Streicher and Jodl instead of trying them at Nuremberg.

Spoken like a true Damocrat. One stupid statement by Akin and the media lackies and dems are so aggrieved. I’m sure McCaskill has never made a stupid statement — oh wait, she just did. But then there is silence.

If I want to rush to judgement, I’ll rush to judgement.

Un American would be releasing the all star terrorist team from Gitmo to kill more Americans.
