Several conservative media figures are floating the idea of impeaching President Obama over the recent release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

Numerous right-wing activists, media figures, and politicians have been trying to drum up a reason to impeach Obama ever since he took office more than five years ago. National Review writer and former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy released a new book today on subject, endeavoring to explain the “political case” for impeaching the president. In making his case, McCarthy rehashes a wide number of well-worn supposed scandals from the Obama administration. Fittingly, McCarthy has also been at the forefront of the latest calls for impeachment, arriving right as his book hits the shelves.

In comments on June 2 to the Daily Mail's website, the Mail Online, McCarthy reportedly called the exchange of Taliban figures for Bergdahl a “high crime and misdemeanor,” because, he claimed, the administration did not sufficiently notify Congress of the planned transfer. The Mail article was quickly highlighted on the Drudge Report.

Appearing on Fox & Friends the next morning, Fox News judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano said Obama “may very well have committed a federal crime by giving material assistance to a terrorist organization.” Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy responded by plugging McCarthy's book and pointing to his comments to the Mail Online about impeachment. Napolitano added that it was a “very, very valid argument that people are going to start talking about.”

Later in the day, Fox News' Outnumbered host Sandra Smith asked “does this become an impeachable offense” and highlighted Napolitano's claim that “this breaks federal law.”

Fox News contributor Allen West posted on his website, “the U.S. House of Representatives should file articles of impeachment against Barack Hussein Obama.” He continued, “I submit that Barack Hussein Obama's unilateral negotiations with terrorists and the ensuing release of their key leadership without consult -- mandated by law -- with the U.S. Congress represents high crimes and misdemeanors, an impeachable offense.”
