| Lynch: Illegal to transfer Gitmo detainees to U.S. |
| 2016-02-25 |
| [Washington Examiner] Attorney General Loretta Lynch confirmed Wednesday that President Obama cannot legally move detainees from Guantanamo Bay to any United States territory. "That is the state of the law," Lynch told a House Appropriations Committee panel, citing defense legislation signed into law by Obama last year. "It's certain that we would be prohibited from doing so. I'm not aware of any efforts to do so at this time, in any event," she said in response to a question about the Pentagon's plan to close the 15-year old detention facility in Cuba. |

| #4 Ref #3. Yes quite interesting her recent news breakout. Her credibility might be bolstered a tad if just fok'n ONE of the Beest's inner circle were to be brought up on charges. Failing that, what she sez is meaningless drivel. My guess is the FBI has discovered Obama regime fingerprints all over the email scandal. |

| #3 Saw a comment at PJMedia pointing out that Ms. Lynch may try to behave nicely to create a case for her being Obama's nominee for Scalia's position. the GOPe needs a really good excuse to give up and roll over, and so this might provide it. |

| #2 No sense bringing them here and disrupting the fledgling ISIS domestic terrorist network. Bribe a foreign gov't to take them and you've hit the trifecta. You're rid of a fat, aging terrorist, emptied GITMO, and you've recruited a paid foreign asset. Wat's not to like ? |

| #1 And when did the state of the law ever bother this crooked, dictatorial regime? |
