>"The administration did so when it bypassed Congress in negotiating the exchange of five Taliban prisoners for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was being held in Afghanistan"
>"The Obama administration has claimed that it side-stepped a mandated 30-day congressional notification period out of fear for Bergdahl's life, and that it had constitutional authority to do so. But the report finds the argument wanting."

I think the Obama administration deserves the criticism, but this was over a year ago. Why now?
My guess is because of the Serial podcast about Bergdahl. I doubt anything will happen because of this.

>Congress says Obama broke the law
When has the GOP committee leadership in both hoses of Congress not claimed this? They've been saying it since 2010 about everything from Obamacare to Benghazi. Remember when they sued him? How'd that end up?

>>8152
because Obama breaks the law a lot
not like our leaders are held accountable much
at least his amnesty plan was shot down by the courts

Yeah, nah. When even the most vitriolic anti-President House can't get their shit together enough to actually prosecute the guy or his actions, you know you got nothing. You realize it just makes your base look even more pathetic in hindsight to have a multitude of wild accusations and yet not a single piece of solid evidence of wrongdoing, let alone a conviction.

I really don't get it, because it was being criticized at the time yet nobody bothered to bring this up? I can't even think of an incentive to wait and bring it up now.
Anyways, that first episode Serial was pretty interesting. I'm curious how legitimate his story will turn out to be. Something sounds really shady about the discrepancy between his story and the Taliban's.

He learned it from the guy that was president before him.

the nigger bombed a doctors without borders hospital. You think he never breaks the law?

>>8412
Because Obama personally did that, right?
>>8413
>implying Obama has murdered people
/pol/ please, you can talk about the drone war but he hasn't caused nearly as many deaths as the average president, much less the recent ones.

It's not like Obama is the odd one out among the Nobel peace laureates.
