Way back on June 1, 2014, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said President Obama made the “ultimate decision” on the Bergdahl swap with the Taliban.
Via Meet the Press:

“We found an opportunity. We took the opportunity. I’ll stand by that decision. I signed off on the decision. The president made the ultimate decision.”

Yesterday, June 9, the White House threw Chuck under the bus saying Hagel made the final call.

Classified #Bergdahl briefing just finished. WH officials say Secy. Hagel made the final call on #Bergdahl swap. @BuckMcKeon is #OutFront.

FYI: A US judge ruled one Taliban leader Khairulla Khairkhwa was too dangerous to release. Obama released him anyway.

Pretty incredible, huh?
