Sen. Dianne Feinstein says President Obama broke the law releasing 5 Afghan terrorists

I thought when a president breaks the law, that’s grounds for impeachment.

NBC reports two top lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee said Tuesday that Sen. Dianne Feinsteinthe Obama administration broke the law by not informing Congress before the prisoner exchange that resulted in Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s release.

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss said the administration violated the law by failing to address serious concerns they had about the deal to swap Bergdahl for five Taliban detainees. Chambliss said he had not had a conversation with the White House about a possible exchange for at least 18 months.
