The Bergdahl Deal: What About Congressional Notification?

Hat tip Creeping Sharia

Along with all the other questionable aspects of the Bowe Bergdahl release, it appears the law was not followed insofar as notifying Congress. Creeping Sharia has an exchange between Susan Rice (who nobody can believe) and an unusually critical Candy Crowley.

Rice: It wasn’t unknown to Congress. The Department of Defense consulted with the Department of Justice. And given the acute urgency of the health condition of Sergeant Bergdahl, and given the president’s constitutional responsibilities, it was determined that it was necessary and appropriate not to adhere to the 30-day notification requirement, because it would have potentially meant that the opportunity to get Sergeant Bergdahl would have been lost.

Oh.
