This morning, Obama DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson debunked Democrats' claim that Congress needed to approve Soleimani strike

Johnson: Soleimani was a "lawful military objective" & the President had "ample domestic legal authority to take him out"

Looks like someone forgot to CC Jeh Johnson the liberal talking points as he went of script

[Pearls Before Swine]

That is a pleasant suprise. I figured that somebody named “Jeh” was picked by Obama in part because of his fealty to the progressive faction.

[HangnJudge]

(((Ping)))

[heshtesh]

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by Jeh Johnson’s support on a few different issues for the Trump administration.

[DennisR]

Same here. Shocked, actually. He is gaining my respect.

[conservativesister]

apparently he isn’t owned

[SunkenCiv]

Soleimani was a "lawful military objective" & the President had "ample domestic legal authority to take him out"

• Dershowitz: Trump Had Even More Legal Justification Eliminating Soleimani than Obama Had with Osama Bin Laden
• FLASHBACK: Obama launches 2,800 strikes on Iraq, Syria without congressional approval

Oh, he’s owned, all right. It’s just that he has to say this, when asked, to protect 0bama.

What has happened to Jeh Johnson? While he was in the Obama Administration I disagreed with just about everything he uttered, and it wasn't because he was in the Obama Administration, it was because he sounded like an idiot who was clueless. This makes several times I have agre3ed with what he says.

Sometimes I think this is a calculated strategy to make me think I am going insane. 8>)

[hirn_man]

When he was in the Obama administration it was kind of his duty to repeat the administration's line or resign.

We don't much like President Trump's administration coming out in opposition of him.

[moovova]

Hah..JJ’s Ukrainian checks just stopped.

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

Boy, is this poor guy ever in trouble now. Remember, Jeh, you can not go out and tell the truth if there is any way that the truth will help Trump.

[GOPJ]

Jeh Johnson has said several things recently that tell us he’s his own man - - and NOT a puppet of white liberal ‘elites’... It’s hopeful.

[Verginius Rufus]

Jeh Johnson is a red diaper baby, but he has said sensible things more than the rest of Obama’s cabinet-level picks put together.

[Ann Archy]

Jeh and Van have been drinking the same bottle of anti-stupid elixir.

[polymuser]

“...he has to say this, when asked, to protect 0bama.”

There ya go. When it seems weird, there’s a reason.
