A career civil servant with that kind of money ought to be surprising, especially in lieu of his subsequent outreach efforts to proven Muslim Brotherhood outfits.
UPDATE: During the years when Republicans controlled the levers of power, Johnson worked for a law firm that represented the Guantanamo Bay detainees — very vigorously. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison attorneys went so far as to smuggle in materials to the detainees. “If I’d gotten caught passing war news to detainees,” one former DOD official said, “my security clearance would have been pulled.”
This week has seen the release of many incriminating documents from the Democratic National Convention (DNC), via Wikileaks’ so-called “Guccifer 2.0.” The authenticity of these documents is in some question, as they passed through the hands of an outfit which has alleged Russian ties. Hackers are in the business of violating people’s expectations of privacy in unethical ways, and the interests of foreign powers are not necessarily aligned with the interests of the United States. We cannot be sure that the hackers are ethical enough to pass the documents on unaltered, in other words, nor that the release of the documents is not chiefly aimed at some hostile foreign nation’s ends. Thus, we have to analyze all of these documents with some care.
By the same token, however, it is worth analyzing these documents with that care. America was founded with a system of checks and balances intended to prevent one branch of government from becoming too powerful. That was true both within the Federal government, where the three branches are balanced against each other, and between the Federal government and the states. Those systems of checks and balances have become increasingly compromised by unethical behavior within the Federal government, such as the IRS scandal. It has been further compromised by the increased centralization of power that has tipped the balance away from the states and toward the central, Federal, government. We are less likely to see our own system performing adequately to check centralized power, and thus might consider external checks such as that provided by a foreign power with opposing interests to our administration’s.
Likewise, credibility is the currency of “special war” — including information warfare of the type the Russians are using here. If their outlets are not credible, they will be less effective. We must always check to see whether they are trying to slip one past us, of course. On the other hand, they have an interest in providing damaging information that is accurate and that will be found credible on investigation. We can’t skip the investigation, but there is a prima facie reason to take the charges seriously pending an investigation.
Jeh Johnson is a Muslim.
There’s something about him that has always screamed CORRUPT to me. Corrupt and arrogant.

Obama Adds Montclair Mom to Administration
WEDNESDAY, SEP 07, 2011 3:08PM
President Obama announced some key administration posts yesterday and former Montclair resident Susan M. DiMarco Johnson was on the list as an appointee for member, President’s Advisory Committee on the Arts for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Susan M. DiMarco Johnson is a dentist, who worked in private practice until 1998. Ms. DiMarco Johnson is an active volunteer in numerous civic and arts related activities in New Jersey, New York, and Washington, DC. Currently, she serves on the board of EarthEcho International, an environmental education non-profit organization. She previously served on the Board of Directors of the Montclair Art Museum and as Vice Chair of the corporate board of the Covenant House, a privately-funded childcare agency in New York City. Ms. DiMarco Johnson received her degree in Dentistry from Georgetown Dental School.
DiMarco said goodbye to Montclair in 2009 when her husband Jeh Johnson was asked to serve on President-Elect Obama’s transition team and was later tapped to become General Counsel of the Department of Defense.

He got it from you and me.
Hopefully the FBI will investigate this snake.
Maybe from Lyn’ Ted? He gave mistress Fiorina $500K, what’s to say he didn’t to same for Jeh. Maybe to cover up his mistress.
I believe Gen. Kelly has also described him as his “very, very good friend”.
Gun running of course, next question.
This Affirmative Action lackey should be investigated. There is a real need to dig into the manure pile that was the Obama administration and bring the guilty to justice. The law ought not apply only to the common citizens of this country.
Johnson Holder Obama
