Following a year-long investigation, the House Armed Services Committee confirmed what the Government Accountability Office had already determined and most of the American people already knew — the swap of five Taliban leaders in exchange for the return of captured Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was against the law.
According to The Hill, the House report makes clear that the Obama administration willfully violated a law that required at least 30 days notification to Congress before any detainees were transferred out of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.
The administration gave Congress only a few hours heads up before conducting the swap.
(( Actually they were getting on the plane to go to Qatar when congress was informed.))
