ranking member on the Senate intel committee, didn’t know Bergdahl had left a note until now

Via Breitbart, this makes two separate accusations today — Ed already blogged the other — involving government attempts to suppress the truth about Bergdahl. Bad enough that they’d ask good soldiers to conspire in it, but withholding it from Congress takes this to another level.

Pay attention at around a minute in, when he says he was taken by surprise by yesterday’s NYT story about the note Bergdahl reportedly left before leaving his post five years ago. (A note which may or may not have hinted at renouncing his citizenship.) Chambliss, who holds a plum intelligence post within Congress, read Bergdahl’s classified file. The note wasn’t in it. In fact, it sounds like the note wasn’t even mentioned in it. Why not? Am I missing something here? Kelly seems to take what he says in stride, but I don’t know how else to read this except as Chambliss accusing someone — the Pentagon, the IC, maybe the White House — of covering up evidence that might, if known, have made it harder to gain congressional acquiescence in a prisoner swap. If he’s not saying that, what is he saying? What would be the “innocent” explanation for overlooking a WRITTEN CONFESSION TO DESERTION from the only American POW in Afghanistan, whose release the president has been trying to secure for years?

Oddly enough, according to Chambliss, there were no accusatory statements from Bergdahl’s squad mates in the file either. Is that because they were pressured to lie to military investigators or because they told the truth and their statements were conveniently left out of the file?

The ‘white house’ is conspiring with our enemies, lying to Congress and the American people, and not one damned thing will come of it. Why? Because devils like Harry ‘the Mormon’ Reid and Nancy ‘the Nazi’ Pelosi work to enable the destruction of America while protecting their boy barry. The bastard boy in the White Hut is a fascist enemy within. And he is the perfect democrat in that reqard. Democrats are the domestic enemy of the American Republic.

Where there is smoke there must be fire, somewhere, but in the Bergdahl issue I think there is a lot more fire than just what the smoke seen so far would indicate. The greater fire is not in the person of Bergdahl and what he did or didn’t do, but with a person or persons in the White House.

The O administration did not give a dam about who Bergdahl is or was. It was 100% political - “we’re going to get the last U.S. pow in Afghanistan released, even if we have to release every GITMO prisoner to do it.” [my interpretation of their agenda] THAT is a political agenda 200% and has nothing to do with U.S. national security interest or honor. Its about a political achievement and nothing more.

There are millions of decent Mormons who are insulted at being associated with Cockroach Reid, who is a Mormon by accident of birth.

Does dirty Harry have a Temple Recommend? ... I thought so. And who runs that religion of those ‘good Mormons’? And who pays to keep the hierarchy in power? Yeah, Harry is a good Mormon, an evil bastard, but a good Mormon..

Though not a Mormon myself, some Mormons I know are embarrassed by him.

I wouldn’t trust Chambliss-—EVER.

The idiot is retiring, and was sooooo disapointed that Benghazi BathHouse Barry LIED to him about the Port of Savannah-—

I suspect the dredging of the Port of Savannah was a “bargaining chip” for Malihi’s refusal to even so much as slap the hand of the usurper and his attorney for NOT EVEN SHOWING UP IN COURT for an eligibility hearing a few years ago.

Poor, stupid Chambliss was upset that Barry went back on his word to him.

They wanted the terrorists out of Gitmo so they can close it.

Bergdahl was just a convenient excuse. So convenient they didn’t bother to look at the details...

And then it blew up in their faces...

Reid was not born a Mormon. He “converted” when he attended Utah State University. Though a state school, many Mormons attend. If Reid had attended Notre Dame, he would have converted to Catholicism. Reid was born in a one whore Nevada town and is first and foremost an opportunist.

Does anyone have the note, is it in his file or did the note go missing also?

It could be the result of some hidden patriot who compiled the file intentionally leaving it out so that it TOO wouldn't be classified and hidden from sight.

That would suggest that someone has it, maybe, and it will turn up.

Let’s cut to the chase: Harry Reid is cut from the same cloth as the ones sitting under the Mormon ‘President’ of that religion. Don’t be surprised if the council places him on their board or even promotes him to President of Mormonism someday. the spirit guiding Mormonism is not The Spirit of God, and if promoting people like Harry Reid to keep his temple recommend hasn’t clarified it for these ‘good Mormons’ then don’t expect them to continue to be loyal to conservative ideals if their leadership decides to devilish issues. Frankly, it is very hard to respect people who can be so easily duped as by Joseph Smith and his smithianism faux Christianity now being promoted by men like Harry Reid.
