The White House issued an apology to key lawmakers for not speaking to Congress, as required by law, that the administration was planning to trade an alleged deserter for five top Taliban terrorist commanders.
“He apologized for it and said it was an oversight,” Feinstein stated was her impression of the call she received from Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken.
Obama has certainly had a lot of breaking-the-law ‘oversights’ hasn’t he? Doesn’t seem to realize he’s broken the law until he “learns about it on TV”.
A top aide to President Obama is now apologizing to Congress for not informing lawmakers, as required by law, that the White House was planning to trade an alleged deserter for five top Taliban commanders.
The apology comes after Obama himself defended his actions this morning, insisting his administration had discussed the release with Congress “for some time.”
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) told reporters that she received a call from Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken on Monday evening apologizing for failing to inform Congress about the deal to exchange five Taliban detainees for the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
“I had a call from the White House last night, from Tony Blinken, apologizing for it,” Feinstein, the chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, told reporters at the Senate on Tuesday.
Feinstein said that it was “very disappointing” that President Obama decided not to alert Congress about the deal, suggesting that there was not a “level of trust” at the White House.
“He apologized for it and said it was an oversight,” Feinstein said about the call with Blinken, clarifying that it was her “impression” of the call.
Feinstein said that in previous conversations with Senators about the trade, “there were very strong views and they were virtually unanimous against trade.”
“The White House is pretty unilateral about what they want to do when they want to do it,” she added, pointing out that the White House failed to work together with Congress in the situation.
Feinstein explained that she still had questions about Bergdahl, particular about the nature of his captivity.
“I certainly want to know more about whether this man is a deserter or not, I think that’s important to at least know, soldiers died looking for him, that’s important to give them credit,” she added.
RESIGN LYING $#%&!@* SUCKER RESIGN
I broke the law, but I’m sorry Mr. Judge.
This result should be impeachment….. His advisors should’ve told him something. That’s what there there for.
Some President…. Doesn’t know the laws of the presidency.
If we said sorry after breaking the law i`m sure he would give us a pass ? Nothing he does is a mistake or an accident , everything he does is very calculated ! There are many on the right that accuse him of being inept and unqualified to be President and he is a miserable failure at the job , i strongly disagree in fact he is very shrewd in that he has accomplished everything he has set out to do or at least everything those that put him in power have ordered him to do and in that respect he has been an enormous success . Right now he and the Democrat`s are trying to bait the Republican`s into a run at impeachment which would ultimately fail but would succeed in turning public support back in his favor so he could use it to spend the last two years of his reign in order to implement more restrictions on our freedoms and liberties with blind public support !!!
Impeachment of a constitutional lawbreaker
As well as Terrorist…
