I think this is the fifth or sixth spin so far.

Quote:Administration shifting blame on Bergdahl trade to Hagel?

House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) said the Obama administration could be pushing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel as the "fall guy" for the controversial prisoner swap that freed Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after five years in Taliban captivity.

Administration briefers told his committee that Hagel was ultimately the one who decided to execute the swap, McKeon told Fox News on Tuesday.

"It sounded like it was a presidential program all the way, [but] now that there's been a little pushback yesterday in our briefing, the briefers from the various departments were asked who made the final decision, and they said Secretary Hagel," McKeon said. "So I hope they're not just pushing him out to be a fall guy for this."

The California lawmaker suggested the administration might be looking to shift blame from the president because "there's been some negative feedback on this."

"I think people see, now that they are learning a little bit more about the five terrorists that were released from Guantánamo, there's lots of concern," McKeon said.

McKeon also called the perceived effort to shift blame "unsettling."

I get the feeling that Hagel was just some moron they found to be the fall guy.

Typical left wing hierarchy.

I'm surprised you didn't go the "They're making him take the fall b/c he's a Republican" route.

because republicans didn't claim this guy when he really was a republican.

He's just another actor in Obama's Marxist production.

I believe the White House has unsaid this in a blog post.
