Decision to trade five taliban commanders for Bowe Bergdahl, who we hear is now improving and speaking english. You have a couple of parents whose kid volunteered to fight in a distant land who they have not seen in five year and were not sure that they would ever see again. As commander in chief, i am responsible for those kids. And i get letters from parents who say if you are in fact sending my child into war, make sure that child is being taken care of. Many dont see their children fwen after fighting a war. I make absolutely no abpologies for making sure we get back a young man to his parents. Does the vow to leave no troops behind trump all else . Curiosity now growing. Lawmakers showing the proof of life tape intended to prove bergdahls rescue was absolutely necessary. But what did it show . Some say yes, bergdahl looked ill. Others say he appeared drugs but many are convinced he was completely fine. Will we the pup lick ever see that video . All of this is the number of flipflops in Congress Continues to grow. Going so far as deleting tweets supporting his release. Let me go straight to you who was just on the phone getting the latest news from us. I totally caught you. They have credible information. This is a briefing that Administration Officials had. Last night the goal of that briefing was to calm down the anger on both sides of the aisle here about the fact that they were not briefed but also give them more information about why this swap was done. As you said, senator angus king is saying it himself. He said that they had intelligence that even the fact that these discussions leaked out, there was a reasonable chance that Bowe Bergdahl would have been killed. The timing of telling congress the white house actually broke the law. Lets talk about harry reid. He had an interesting response. Roll it. The video that you all saw of Sergeant Bergdahl yesterday, some came out and said it looked like he was not in the greatest health. Some came out and said it looked like maybe he was drugged. What was your impression . I dont know what was in his mind or what medicine he had taken. He just didnt talk with a lot of didnt speak too clearly. But heres the point. The issue is our great country had a soldier who has been in captivity for five years. He has tried to escape a couple of times. Under conditions he lived under were deplorable. The pressure that we are hearing from him and other senators who support this deal, this very controversial deal that the Administration Made is you have got to look at the basics and that is that regardless of the external circumstances, that regardless of whether he was really in bad shape, the number one thing, the most important thing is the credo of really no soldier behind. The fact that harry reid also made the point that the troop levels are being drawn down in afghanistan and its time to get him home is very interesting. Obviously harry reid is not only the top democrat in the senate but also somebody who agrees with the administration and making every effort to try to calm the concerns here in congress. Let me play one more clip, one more response. Im not sure that im the only one. Its a big deal over nothing. The whole deal is, is it friday or saturday . What difference does it make . Okay. Im looking at your face. What did you think about that . I have not talked to senator reids aides ability this but the whole line what difference does it make, is familiar. It is being used already against Hillary Clinton when she was testifying about again benghazig what difference does it make . This is a very different context and the question was about the fact that harry reids office said he found out about the release on friday. I should also tell you that i just talked to a republican senator who also said what difference does it make when we were briefed because we didnt like the whole deal to begin with. Right. Okay. Just off the top here as we are learning credible information that, you know, had this news of a possible prisoner swap leaked that bergdahl would have been killed you know how this kind of thing works although this is a very rare situation. Tenuo tenuous, life or death. The taliban are not a nice bunch of people. Big parts of the taliban disapproved of this negotiation, disapproved of releasing him. They would have preferred to behead him there are a lot of credible reports coming out of pakistan that very radical groups want to get ahold of him and do just that, behead him. He was always under danger. No one likes releasing him. It was done in the past, it was done now exits not fair to single out this prisoner. President reagan dealt with iranianss and gave him arms and he got a pass on that. Let me ask you about the proof of life videos that was shown last night. One of the explanations that the u. S. Had to go in because of bergdahls deteriorating held. I did not expect to learn anything in this briefing. Proof of life is based five months ago december. They had why the fact of these discussions leaked out. There was a reasonable chance Bowe Bergdahl would have been killed. And that was one of the pieces of information that we learned yesterday that gave it some creedance in terms of why it had to be kept quiet so long. Let me just ask you. We played this so much this bergdahl video with the members of the video and the hills. So you have seen him, the eyes blinking, his ability to walk, here he was. You know, just based upon your own expertise, could there be much more to his health perhaps than meets the eye . I dont think senators are capable of judging what his health was. Clearly the white house thought he was in danger. Again, i have been in this situation where a colleague of mine was kidnapped, beat up, we had pictures of him, we didnt move fast enough and he went on to die of pneumonia. You have to move fast. You cant, you know, no monday morning quarterbacking on this one. I realize the pressure may be much different now when you think about really winding down afghanistan by the end of this year versus some years ago but how do you think that the administration swayed the Intelligence Community to finally go for it . All along we were running off of rhetoric. They were important. But these guys were in a gray area and theyre not going to change the battlefield. Nor is it going to make the taliban kidnap more american hostages. They already want to kidnap american hostages. They didnt need a release to convince them of that. Do you think they will go back and fight with the bad guys . They will go back. The people we have negotiated with are much more important. They are much more capable fighters and much more dangerous. At the same time its clear to me that they are willing to talk to us which is a good sign. Appreciate it. What legal advice president obama get during this deal . Lawmakers demanding to know.

What legal advice did president obama receive that gave him the green light to make the deal without telling congress . Let me bring in paul about this one. Paul, nice to see you. Lets say youre the doj and the Administration Says the clock is ticking. I would say not with standing my colleagues concept, my advice would be youre the commander in chief. If one of our soldiers is in danger and we have to act quickly to get him out, i think you can do it without having a problem. I dont think that that congressional law trumps his pow errs as commander in chief. The constitution is clear that he is commander in chief. You would have to get him in front of the Supreme Court to resolve it. This has always been a touchy issue between the branchs of government who is the most powerful, Supreme Court president or the congress. And its always been in the end decided that the Supreme Court decides the law. So i dont think we will ever have a clear answer on this unless it comes up in the future. If it comes up in the future, if it goes to the Supreme Court, what would be the worst case scenario. In the end would this be a ticked off congress . Or more. Not only would congress be ticked off, this sort of with con fregress has been going on a long time. Even if the president agrees to do this, agrees to the law, he said i agree with most of the law. He said i put a reservation on the signature. It cant be changed. You have to have a constitutional amendment to do that. The constitution reserves those powers to the president. Okay. Thank you. And your Legal Expertise on this one. Im sure we will continue debating it. Coming up, police say this man killed three Police Officers and wounded two others and they say they are still looking for him. Plus i will speak to the woman. Hear hir reaction to the new inside report issued today. Stay with me. So today, gm released the results of its internal investigation. 20 mostly senior or executive employees accused of misconduct or incompetence are simply not doing enough to fix the problem. First, we will do the right thing for those who were harmed. And second, we will accept responsibility for our mistakes and commit to doing everything within our power to make sure this never happens again. Gm estimates 13 people died while the company doddled. With and monica joins me now. Monica, welcome. It was your brother who was driving in that cobalt, his best friends cobalt of last year. His buddy was in the passenger seat. Take me back. Tell me what happened. They were on their way back from celebrating his best friends birthday. It was around 3 00 in the morning. And all of the sudden the far feared into oncoming traffic. We didnt know anything about the recall so it was assumed that he fell asleep behind the wheel. When did you start putting 2 and 2 together . We had all already known that something didnt seem right the way the accident happened. It was so sudden. There was no brake marks. There was nothing that indicate ed when we were told that it was him falling asleep behind the wheel, we kind of took it as that and moved forward from there until we were contact ed. We were contacted by another Family Member whose son was involved in another accident. There were more questions about how many people could be involved in this recall. There are several families that were not part of any of the 13 that were disclosed. Gm is only counting frontal crashes where the air bags didnt deploy. Many families believe the list should be much longer. You and your family were in that closed door meeting with the gm ceo. I believe that was the end of march. Definitely not more assured. Angry. There is misconduct. Nothing was covered up and that they do finally have definitive answers, does that make you feel better . No, it doesnt make me feel better. A lot of people died with not needing to. Not only tied but injured over people that were involved in the oncoming accidents. I dont think that everybody is being accounted for. And i definitely think that there is something being covered up more that was a fault of gm. It could have been something that they are held responsible for. Thank you.

Big news we are learning about here, claims here from a local official who said he was there. The night that bergdahl was captured, he is looking to be under the influence of a hallucinogenic substance. Lets talk about that. Tell me more about this afghan claim. This is five years ago he was taken. We all know eyewitness accouns s he didnt get that message. The local officials said it appeared that he was disoriented and possibly under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug. There is a lot of hashesh and opium. It is common to see people smoking it. Local taliban fighters came to that village on the backs of motorcycles and they grabbed him, that he resisted that. They beat him up, changed into local clothes and took him away. This gets to the point, did he volunteer . Was he seeking that out . This would say, again, if you believe this account, he says he was there that morning, this would then resist that to say that yes he did walk off the base but that he was forcibly taken and kidnapped. But it still doesnt clear up why he wandered away from that base to begin with. And this is from the afghan sfishl. What about any kind of u. S. Response to this allegations . Do we have anything . We dont yet to this particular account. The military report was put together that he had had instances. There was a pattern established there. Who knows what he was doing. His colleagues said he would go out to take a closer look. He talked about walking across the mountains. What this tells you is that when he walked out the night that he disappeared that he was taken not because he wanted to be taken but because the taliban saw the opportunity and captured him. That is fascinating. Thank you for that development. Thank you. And as we continue talking about the story, the five mid to high level members of the taliban whether or not were traded for Bowe Bergdahl. Time puts it this way. Was he worth it . Bobby gosh is Times International editor. This whole question of worth and value, let me play something. Senator angus king pointed out that at least the u. S. Got something. There is a reasonable legal argument that these five guys would have had to be released anyway. When hostile cities cease, enemy combatants have to be released. We could have argued that we held them under other authority or civilian authority. If they had to be released anyway we would be in the same situation. How about that perspective. Does king have a point . I cant say i am an expert on the law and certainly military law. The crux of the question is were these people considered enemy combatants or terrorists . Thats a crucial difference. I suppose that i think he has a point there. If these men were held as terrorists, that is a different calculation this is a conversation describing a senior taliban commander. Asked whether the taliban would be inspired by this exchange he laughed. Definitely he says. Its better to kidnap one person than kidnapping useless people. That has been part of this narrative in the wake of this story after it broke over the weekend. The impact part of the question. Was it worth it . The deal was certainly from the talibans point of view eminently worth it. They got five of their own. For them the biggest gain is that the United States did a deal with them. That confirms to them their authority. They can now, you can bet they will in their propaganda say that this means the United States was willing to treat us as equals the Afghan Government will have a very different view on this. Former cia, made the point the fact that the u. S. Was talking to members of the taliban. He said that at least is a good thing. That there were conversations. Bobby, thank you so
