The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy

According to Buzzfeed, Grenell's public relations firm, Capitol Media, has, "played a key role in publicizing" critics of Bergdahl.

And, The New York Times reported on Monday that "Republican strategists" had arranged for that paper to speak with former soldiers who had served with Bergdahl and who have anger towards him.

In fact, one of the former soldiers who was interviewed by the media, Cody Full, sent a tweet out, thanking Grenell for the role he played in, "helping get our platoon's story out."

So, it now looks like these former soldiers who have come out against Bowe Bergdahl and his release are just part of yet another Republican-fueled conspiracy theory intended to tarnish the Obama presidency.

I believe they had a more destructive alternate plan ready. But they are prepared for both outcomes. And the media already has their well rehearsed story.
