“Everybody knows that this President agreed to release five Taliban terrorists complicit with murder, and the statement has come out on August 27–this is after the release of five Taliban murderers by this administration. This statement has gone out, and it is in their language. The translation says, in part, “We consider ISIS and every other Mujahedin group as our brothers.”
That is kind of important to understand when he released the Taliban Five–who don’t have a problem with cutting people’s heads off or friends cutting people’s heads off, they support ISIS–and the President did so in violation of the law.
It required that there not be one dime of American money spent to release somebody from Guantanamo unless the law was complied with, and the law required a notice of 30 days to people in Congress, and that didn’t happen”, said Gohmert.
On September 11, 2014 Rep. Gohmert of Texas went off on a diatribe about the Obama Administration behavior concerning the release of Guantanamo Bay prisoners that I found very interesting because he basically accused the President of the United States of violating the law.
Of course, none of it was reported about in the mainstream press. I suppose they don’t consider it newsworthy enough?
He is some of what Rep. Gohmert had to say:
“I think it is worth pointing out what concerns many others in the world, and that is the judgment of this administration.
As we travel around the world, we have allies who talk to us privately, leaders in countries in the Middle East, moderate Muslims, people in Israel, and they keep asking about the judgment of this country, of the national leaders.

He broke the law in order to help the lawbreakers. So people around the world see that, and they are puzzled, and I happened to be standing here on the House floor with one of the two other people that went to the FBI disclosure. They classified it, which I thought was ridiculous.”
