Senators Admit Leaving Classified Briefing On Bowe Bergdahl Early
Obama administration officials held a closed-door, classified briefing on Wednesday in which they spent more than two hours detailing to senators the trade of five senior Taliban leaders for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, but many lawmakers decided to leave early.
Officials from the State Department, Pentagon and intelligence agencies showed senators a “proof of life” video taken of Bergdahl in captivity. The presentation also informed lawmakers that Congress wasn't informed of the exchange ahead of time as required by law, because the Taliban had threatened to kill Bergdahl if the deal was made public before it occurred.
But many senators found the video and the administration's case for urgency unsatisfactory, given claims that Bergdahl had deserted from a U.S. base in Afghanistan.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), ranking member on the Select Committee on Intelligence, appeared on Fox News to criticize the administration while the briefing was still underway.
Typical GOP bail early or play hooky to run to an appearance on FoxNews. Seem to recall this happened with Benghazi briefings
