Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), initially a strong critic of the prisoner swap that involved freeing five Guantanamo Bay detainees, on Tuesday said that it’s time to stop harping on Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s release.
“I think we need to put an end to all of this now. I think enough is enough. I think the Senate has had a hearing and the House has had a hearing,” she told reporters after the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the prisoner swap, according to The Hill. “Everybody has heard what they need to hear.”
After the White House announced the release of Bergdahl, Feinstein charged that the administration broke the law by failing to consult Congress before agreeing to free Guantanamo detainees.
“I strongly believe that we should have been consulted, that the law should have been followed. And I very much regret that that was not the case,” she told reporters last week.
I wonder if her internal polling took a hit, given the Pew poll results on where Democrats lie on the issue. Quite the quick reversal.
Dianne,
Isn’t Saxby Chambliss a member of your intelligence committee and would have been informed? Didn’t he admit the other day that he would have leaked the deal had he known? That should tell you all you need to know about why Obama didn’t inform you and the other members of Congress. The “constitutional conservatives” around you can’t be trusted.
Yeah bitch but not after you dissed the President - you POS slime
CHAMMY! you promised…
If this woman becomes Sec, of State – I’m never voting Dem again.
