~ “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.
Deserter and traitor, Bowe Bergdahl, having plead guilty this morning to desertion this morning at a military hearing at Fort Bragg is committed to playing the blame game.
In an on-camera interview shot last year by a British filmmaker, obtained exclusively by ABC News and airing today on “Good Morning America,” “World News Tonight With David Muir” and “Nightline,” Bergdahl says the words of the man who is now his commander in chief would have made a fair trial impossible.
“We may as well go back to kangaroo courts and lynch mobs that got what they wanted,” Bergdahl says. “The people who want to hang me — you’re never going to convince those people”[…]
‘The Ingraham Angle’ host hits back at those who play the ‘blame game.’
As for President Trump, having stated, as a candidate, back in 2015 that Bergdahl is “a dirty, rotten traitor,” he only said (a) what the rest of us were thinking and (b) fact.
Below is an interview that Megyn Kelly had back in 2014 with six soldiers who served with Bergdahl.
Earlier this week, when the Mendocino Major Crimes Task Force and COMMET raided a marijuana farm, they found deserter and former POW, Bowe Bergdahl on the property.
Allegedly, Bergdahl who remains on active duty while awaiting trial for desertion was visiting friends on the Tomki Road, Redwood Valley in Mendocino County, California when his buddies were served with warrants.
According to news reports, close to 200 marijuana plants were found at the location of the raid. However, Bergdahl who it appears was on authorized leave and is “untouchable” [my emphasis] was released because he was allegedly not involved in the marijuana operation.
Bergdahl arrived Friday at a Mendocino County farm, which is located in a remote part of Redwood Valley, about 120 miles north of San Francisco, authorities said. Bergdahl was at the farm on authorized leave and was not involved with the produciton of marijuana, Mendocino County Sheriff’s officials said. …
Bergdahl was an “unexpected visitor” in Mendocino County, where he was visiting old friends when the “local dope team arrived on a marijuana raid,” according to the The Anderson Valley Advertiser, which first reported the story….
Bergdahl, who is on active duty while he awaits his court martial, “was not involved” in the marijuana operation, the Sheriff said, adding that Bergdahl was “above politeness” as several people from the home where Bergdahl was visiting were taken into custody….At the Pentagon’s request, the combat veteran was transported by the Sheriff’s Department to Santa Rosa where he was met by an Army major who was to accompany Bergdahl to his duty station near Washington….
“I’m not sticking up for the guy at all, but I will say this, he was very polite,” said Mendocino County Sheriff Thomas Allman. “He was not resistant at all. He shook everybody’s hand. He thanked us all.””
Bergdahl arrived at the marijuana farm Friday. The drug raid goes down Tuesday and officials decided, rather quickly I might add that he is not involved and Bergdahl is released post haste and without a second thought.
You can bet that the jails are full of people caught up in a drug sweep, some innocent waiting months for their day in court to prove their case. If only they had Bergdahl’s clout. Bergdahl the untouchable.
A bombshell report from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service indicates that former Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl had a “deliberate” plan to defect to the ‘other side’ when he abandoned his post in 2009, Lt. Col. Shaffer (Ret.) claimed on Monday.
Shaffer told Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly he has beenin contact with two individuals’ who have seen the report and were ‘part of the investigation and various aspects of it…’
In light of Michael Hastings, 2012 Rolling Stone article entitled, “America’s Last Prisoner of War” which pretty much says it all[i], why is any of this news? Bergdahl had already put it out there that he was deserting although he never used the word itself. Excerpt below:
‘Returning to Alaska after Christmas, Bowe said something that would stick with Fry months later, long after they arrived in Afghanistan. ‘Before we deployed, when we were on Rear D, him and I were talking about what it would be like,’ Fry recalls. Bowe looked at his friend and made no bones about his plans. ‘If this deployment is lame,’ Bowe said, ‘I’m just going to walk off into the mountains of Pakistan….’
Once Bergdahl’s platoon made it to Afghanistan, Bergdahl further isolated himself favoring the Afghanis over his platoon and in one of his final emails to his father, Bergdahl wrote:
‘The future is too good to waste on lies…And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong. I have seen their ideas and I am ashamed to even be American. The horror of the self-righteous arrogance that they thrive in. It is all revolting….’
Shortly before Bergdahl deserted his platoon, he allegedly asked his team leader: “If I were to leave the base, would it cause problems if I took my sensitive equipment?”
It is all on record. The signs were there long before Bergdahl walked away from his platoon and so I ask again, why is this news.
That statement along with statements that “it was the video” is the lies of the century.
Truth is, they ALL knew. The Pentagon knew, Barack Obama knew and so did Susan Rice.
If convicted Bergdahl who is charged with desertion and misbehaving in front to the enemy under the Uniform Code of Military Justice faces life in prison.
No doubt, a softball sentence for one who intentionally deserted and sought out the Taliban to fight Americans alongside our enemies.
Most definitely, a softball sentence for one who committed treason and may very well be responsible for the deaths of those service members killed while searching for Bergdahl; and those service members who died because of information that Bergdahl may have provided to the Taliban.

Publishers are refusing to pick up books about Bowe Bergdahl by members of Bergdahl’s platoon out of fear that it would discredit Barack Obama and because it’s red meat for Conservatives.
The drafts of the books authored by retired Sgts. Evan Buetow and Cody Full depict Bergdahl as a traitor.
‘I’m not sure we can publish this book without the Right using it to their ends,’ Sarah Durand, a senior editor at Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, wrote in an email to one of the soldiers’ agents, Yahoo News reported….
The platoon mates insisted that the book would set the record straight on Sgt. Bergdahl….
Sarah Durand was laid off on Monday, August 11, 2014.
According to Atria Publishing, the layoff had nothing to do with Durand refusing to publish the books by Bergdahl’s platoon mates. Durand’s layoff was part of a “planned editorial downsizing.”
Hey, they’ll get no argument from me. I chalked it up to karma.
Alison Spann was just a kid when her father became the first American killed in the war in Afghanistan. The recent college graduate was shocked to learn the man behind her father’s death was freed from Guantanamo Bay. Fox News.
The daughter of the first American soldier killed in the war in Afghanistan has shared her heartbreak at learning that his killer – a Taliban leader – was freed by the U.S in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl.
Alison Spann was just nine when her father, CIA operative Johnny Micheal Spann, was killed during a prisoner uprising at a compound where he was interrogating Taliban fighters on November 25, 2001.
Mullah Mohammad Fazl, the leader of the prisoners at the compound, ended up in Guantanamo Bay – until two weeks ago when he and four others were switched for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl….
‘As a whole, my family was extremely upset and saddened that our government would do something like this, especially in light of the fact that it seems that people in the intelligence community are fairly united in their belief that these terrorists are likely to seek to further harm Americans in the future….’
