Democrat Sen. Diane Feinstein Shoots Down Latest Obama Team’s Claim that Taliban Threatened to Kill Bergdahl
Feinstein’s comments, part of an interview with Bloomberg Television’s Political Capital with Al Hunt airing Friday evening, put her at odds with White House officials.
Feinstein: No ‘credible threat’ to Bergdahl’s life.…..Despite White House claim to keep plans secret from Congress
Feinstein accusing the White House of lying flat-out about its reasons for keeping Congress in the dark before the swap.

When asked whether there was a “credible threat” on Bergdahl’s life if word had gotten out, the California Democrat responded: “No, I don’t think there was a credible threat, but I don’t know. I have no information that there was.”

Feinstein’s comments, part of an interview with Bloomberg Television’s Political Capital with Al Hunt airing Friday evening, put her at odds with White House officials. At a briefing Wednesday, administration officials told lawmakers that they couldn’t give Congress advance notice on the Bergdahl deal because the Taliban vowed to kill him if any details about the prisoner exchange came out.

Sen. Diane Feinstein just comes right out and says the Obama White House’s latest claim that they made the deal for Bowe Bergdahl without the 30-day notice to Congress required by law – because the Taliban was about to kill him – is just not credible. Feinstein said she has seen nothing to indicate there was “a credible threat” to his life. Obama’s Team came up with this story yesterday after their original claim he was so sick his life was in danger was blown out of the water by the Taliban-released video showing him walking under his own power, looking reasonably healthy when U.S. Special Forces picked him up.
Democrat Sen. Feinstein is clearly not going along with the White House’s talking points.

Good for Diane.
