The information came from retired Military personnel, who still have contacts at the Pentagon. The Pentagon probably caught hell over the leak, from the administration. Now they're trying to backtrack. Today, they announced that they have "NO TIMELINE" for bringing charges.  In other words, "we're going to drag this shit out as long as we feel necessary. At least, until Obama is out of office. Besides, if we drag it out long enough, you all will forget about it."

In 2009 Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl left his unit without permission and was captured by the Taliban. Bergdahl was held for five years until President Obama traded five high ranking Taliban commanders. Once Bergdahl was back on American soil, the Army conducted an investigation.
That was in October 2014. Three months later, the White House is stonewalling the Army’s charges on Bergdahl of desertion. Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser, has been a liaison between the Pentagon and the White House and has led the effort to keep this news from getting out.
Senior ranking military officials said two weeks ago that they would release the ruling soon. Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer referred to the White House’s efforts as a “titanic struggle behind the scenes.”
“As a corporate entity, the Army has decided that they want to pursue Bergdahl for this violation,” Shaffer said.

Some may remember that Ben Rhodes, cited above, was the key figure in the administration emails concerning the development of the Benghazi talking points used by Susan Rice.

It looks like it takes a few years before charges actually are made (like 10 years), so will probably not happen until next administration, so they can be the BAD guys.

Probably not going anywhere, just a lot of posturing and politicking. Desertion is hard to prove because it implies the intent to never return. There have been cases of guys gone for years being picked up and the military just gave them General Discharges rather than going to the expense of trying them and possibly losing.

Just be thankful Obama only gave up 5 terrorists. As I always say with him, it could have been worse...
I can see the negotiations now ...
Al Qaeda: We want three Muslim brothers in exchange for Bergdahl
Obama: We'll give you five freedom fighters and $5M in reparations in exchange. That's our final offer.
Al Qaeda: You drive a hard bargain, but if that is your final offer, what more can we do. We accept.

Send him to Utah so the revised capital punishment procedures can be tested.
In the meantime, nothing is happening at Ft. Hood.
