Obama, the lawless president violated US law (yet again). When he traded the one American Taliban hostage for five dangerous Gitmo terrorists, he violated US law by not notifying Congress of his actions. Of course, as usual, Obama and his corrupt collect of thugs will get away with it, and this will just fade off into the sunset just like every thing Obama does illegally.

The United States negotiated the release of five Afghan prisoners at Guantanamo Bay in exchange for the Taliban freeing an American sergeant from captivity yet President Obama may have violated U.S. law by failing to notify Congress of his actions.
Despite the potential legal problems with releasing prisoners without notifying Congress, NBC Nightly News was the only evening news program on Saturday, May 31 to mention the controversy or the GOP’s criticism. [See video below.]
On Saturday, NBC’s Lester Holt noted how “The deal it took to make it happen has a lot of people wondering whether the administration reversed a longstanding U.S. policy on terrorism” before reporter Kristen Welker outlined the GOP’s concerns surrounding the prisoner swap.
