Thanks to BareNaked Islam for this,
And will he also have broken the law
by exchanging five dangerous terrorists for a known deserter, Bowe
Bergdahl, who also is likely a traitor? So when are we going to see
Obama on a perp walk?

The Obama administration violated federal law when it released five
senior Taliban leaders from prison without notifying Congress, as is
legally mandated, according to aninvestigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
The GAO
concluded in a report issued Thursday that the Obama administration
failed to provide proper notification of the Taliban release and
illegally used taxpayer funds that were not appropriated to enable the
inmate transfer, according to the report.
The Obama
administration in May secretly struck a deal with the Taliban in
Afghanistan to free from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba five of
its top leaders in exchange for the return of captured U.S. soldier Bowe
Bergdahl, who was later accused by fellow soldiers of having deserted the Army prior to his capture.
The Pentagon
was found to have “violated” the 2014 Department of Defense
Appropriations Act “when it transferred five individuals detained at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the nation of Qatar without providing at least
30 days notice to certain congressional committees,” according to the
report.
The Defense
Department also was legally prohibited from using congressionally
appropriated funds to pay for the transfer of detainees from Gitmo
without first getting approval from Congress, which the Obama
administration failed to do, according to the report. “In addition,
because DOD used appropriated funds to carry out the transfer when no
money was available for that purpose, DOD violated the Antideficiency
Act.”
The Pentagon was found to have used $988,400 from the Army’s operation and maintenance to fund the mission.
