Bergdahl investigation - Army won't release results - YET

[kent]

Interesting - they won't release the results until after the midterm elections.  Kind of "sounds" like he won't be charged and the administration would get hammered if they let that out of the bag before said election.

Bergdahl, who was released in May of this year, is currently stationed at Fort Sam Houston U.S. Army North in San Antonio, TX. The army report was authored by Brigadier General Kenneth Dahl and, according to a US army spokesman, is now being “reviewed by commanders." There are no plans, said Army Spokesman Wayne Hall, to make public the findings of the investigation.

Fox News is reporting however that the findings will be released to the public, but only after the November 4 midterm elections.

The Bergdahl-Taliban exchange unleashed a firestorm of criticism that continues to this day. Never before had the United States military knowingly released a senior commander of an active enemy force in war time. Even senior Defense Department officials were forced to concede that the “Taliban Five," as they subsequently became known, were all expected to resume direct command of enemy forces at war with the United States.

Every one of the men who served with the Idaho native and has spoken out publicly claims Bergdahl clearly deserted his unit in 2009......

Wanna bet this get swept under the rug and disappears in a slew of "other"  actions, inactions , missing reactions etc....unless of course, one of those released actually makes good on the comment: "see you in New York."

And Fox the Fox news source of this information........Fox news

     Army Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dahl completed a review of this case this week, but Hall declined to set a timeline for a final decision.

“At this time, it would be inappropriate to speculate on the potential results or the amount of time the review process will take to complete," Hall said.

Well Fox has inappropriately speculated haven't they- though par for the course over there.  Sorry you can't identify pure bullshit when you see it.

You seemed to have "overlooked" a portion of text from TheHill link so, to use your own words,  

Sorry you can't identify pure bullshit when you see it.

 

The Obama administration kept the prisoner swap secret until after it was completed, ignoring a law requiring it to give 30 days advance notice to members of Congress before any detainee release from Guantanamo.

A government watchdog agency found in August that the administration broke the law by not notifying Congress, as well as another law prohibiting it to spend money on any detainee transfer from Guantánamo.

The move also angered lawmakers and critics who said the swap violated a policy not to negotiate with terrorists. The administration said it brokered the deal through Qatari officials, who agreed to take custody of the former Guantánamo detainees for a year.

I didn't get that from the broadcast today on Fox and Friends. Judge Napolitano stated that what is going on with any findings from the investigation is normal. The only way things from the investigation will come out is IF they decide there is enough to file charges and prosecute.  Then we would see it in actual proceedings.   Otherwise the information probably will never be made public. The only thing said on fox this morning was that no decision on charges would probably be forthcoming until after the election.

If you don't like Fox as the source... let me help you out with that  Maybe you can find another source more your liking 

thanks.  that tells me that the original source was not FOX, but Breitbart, which pretty much guarantees that it is bulls(*t.

this (in bold) has nothing to do with the deserter investigation.

Yes- what did I miss?

Fox- in a typical move- is trying to make a claim that these results are being withheld intentionally until the midterm elections are over- which is a complete fabrication.
