Is Obama whitewashing a traitor?
NYP ^ | September 20, 2014 | Paul Sperry

Three and a half months have come and gone and the Pentagon has offered no clarity on what happened to alleged Army deserter and Taliban collaborator Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Fellow soldiers and other critics fear the military’s now-delayed investigation is shaping up to be a whitewash.

The case has become a political powder keg for President Obama.

Since he traded five imprisoned Taliban leaders for Bergdahl, the US Government Accountability Office has declared the swap illegal, and nearly two dozen House Democrats have joined Republicans in officially condemning the move for making “Americans less safe.”

...

His platoon mates... “Bergdahl is a deserter, not a hero [and] needs to answer for what he did,” said former Army Sgt. Evan Buetow, who served with Bergdahl and was present the night he vanished from his Afghan post.

Like Buetow, more than 60% of respondents to a recent Military Times survey believe that Bergdahl should be court-martialed for walking off his post in 2009 and costing the lives of six fellow soldiers who died searching for him.

But a senior Army official told me court-martialing Bergdahl would “make the president look bad.”

...

The evidence against 28-year-old Bergdahl is overwhelming.

But he provided a gold-plated opportunity to set free some terrorist enemies.

Obama and the media cover all of Obama’s traitorous activity.

This guy is a reflection of Obama. Bergdahl may be less of a traitor than Obama.

I have a feeling those 5 Taliban commanders were traded for something AND IT WASN’T BERGDAHL. We can’t know what they were REALLY traded for, but I’m guessing Barry was blackmailed.

P.S. The fact he COULDN’T give Congress the opportunity to nix the deal is VERY telling.

That question is a non sequitur. The feckless fool on the hill cannot tell the truth, he does not know how. Too much delta 9-THC.

I think that’s probable.

Putin must have a thick file on the bastard. I hope Putin “outs” Obama.

He ( Obama ) has to be held accountible for this and a long and ever growing list of crimes against our nation and our people .

’ an armed squad of uniformed Armed Forces members enter the Oval Office ; “ Mr President , you are under arrest for high crimes in office and treason against the United States of America .Come with us please”.....

I wonder how many here remember the Maj. Jill Metzger and her bizarre story in Kazakhstan?

One thing for sure, the mask is off the Traitor & Chief. He can’t hide behind lies and payoffs anymore.

Well, we are back to the same thing. The name "Reggie" probably enters in, along with others. I think most of us thought it was going to be a whitewash from day one. A court martial would make Obungler look bad, so it will be a whitewash. 20 years from now, they will claim they're still investigating, until no one remembers Bergdahl.

Smells to high heaven. And it has never been disputed that this deal was a top down decision.

The complicity of the sycophantic press in keeping this off the radar is truly beneath contempt.
