Harry Reid knew of Bowe Bergdahl deal 'day before or the day of' release

@ZekeJMiller: POLITICO: Harry Reid knew of Bowe Bergdahl deal before release http://www.politico.com/story/2014/06/harry-reid-bowe-bergdahl-briefed-prisoner-deal-white-house-107373.html …

____ Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid received a heads-up on the deal to transfer Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for the five Taliban officials detained in Guantanamo Bay — but it’s not clear who else did.

In a brief interview, Reid said the White House contacted him ahead of the swap — but not by much.

“It must have been either the day before or the day of. I don’t remember for sure,” Reid said.

Reid (D-Nev.) declined to discuss how much the Obama administration had kept him in the loop.

“Oh, I’m not going to talk about that,” Reid said.
