Matt Vierkant: ‘Selfish’ Bergdahl Pleaded Guilty to Get ‘Sympathy Sentence’ Not Because He Feels ‘Remorse’

RUSH EXCERPT:

VIERKANT: "I felt the only reason why he pleaded guilty in the first place was to get a sympathy sentence like this. I don’t think that he pleaded guilty because he feels sorry because he has any remorse over it I think he is a selfish person. And the only people who have ever benefited throughout this whole ordeal is Bergdahl and the Taliban five that we released. Nobody else has ever benefited."
HEGSETH: "You as a result of his guilty plea you did not get a chance to testify. If you had gotten that chance, do you think the verdict would have been a little different?"
VIERKANT: "I think the the verdict would have been a little bit different if there would have been more testimony from people that were there and the circumstances that they went through and had all the information actually came out in the trial I think it would have went a little bit differently. I think that’s why he pleaded guilty to begin with, not because he felt sorry for anyone, just because he was trying to help out himself and have no jail time and he got what he wanted."
