As the investigation of Bergdahl's likely desertion in the face of the enemy, the White House scrambles to obfuscate the truth. Will we see a court martial? Maybe. Will we see a presidential pardon? Probably.
He deserted from the front lines. Bad enough.
Other men were killed, wounded, crippled looking for his sorry butt. Worse yet.
Court martial & let the chips fall.
His return will not pay a political dividend to Obama and so he'll get fobbed back into the hands of the military judicial system.
Obama will claim "I got him back; was the right thing to do but now the Army must decide based on total info" and he'll move on to the next thing he's gonna screw up. As far as Obama's concerned under the bus works just fine.
