here are excerpts from the GAO finding on Obama breaking a law concerning giving Congress 30 days notice before transferring prisoners from Guantanamo and using defense funds to facilitate the prisoner sway for US serviceman Bergdahl who was being held by terrorists. compare the valid reasons Obama had for overriding the law by his constitutional right to protect US servicemen in combat or being held by enemy combatants as quickly as possible under that extreme circumstance, to Trump only withholding vital military aid to Ukraine to force them to do his personal political bidding that had nothing to do with any US serviceman, or in any way with our national security, or our US foreign policy as testified to by at least 10 sworn witnesses in the Impeachment Inquiry..NOT EVEN IN THE SAME BALL PARK, ONLY TRUMP VOTERS ARE SO DISHONEST AND SLEAZY TO TRY AND COMPARE THE TWO AND THEIR MOTIVES- ONE TO GET A US SERVICEMAN RELEASED, THE OTHER TO HELP HIMSELF AND ONLY HIMSELF, AND PUT OUR ALLY IN DANGER....
The Pentagon maintained to the congressional investigators that providing notice of the exchange "would have interfered with the executive's performance of two related functions that the Constitution assigns to the president: protecting the lives of Americans abroad and protecting U.S. service members."
The GAO said it would not weigh in on the constitutionality of the law requiring congressional notification, but noted the legislation passed through the legislature and was signed by the president. But the White House seized on that point to argue that the administration's actions should not be considered a violation of the law.
"It's important for everyone here to understand that the GAO report expressly does not address the lawfulness of the administration's actions as a matter of Constitutional law," Schultz said.
On Thursday, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said that, under the "exceptional circumstances" involved in the controversial prisoner swap, "the administration determined that it was necessary and appropriate to forego 30 days' notice."
"The executive branch must have the flexibility, among other things, to act swiftly in conducting negotiations with foreign countries regarding the circumstances of detainee transfers," Kirby said.
