HASC committee just passed a resolution I supported condemning the president for releasing the 5 Taliban leaders w/o consulting Congress. 2:54 PM – 29 Jul 2014

@RepHartzler Why isn’t this an impeachable offense? Wait … wasn’t an American soldier held as a POW released? Was that condemned too? 10:53 PM – 29 Jul 2014

Good questions.
