President Obama plans to nominate former Defense Department lawyer Jeh (pronounced "Jay") Johnson for Homeland Security secretary on Friday, The Daily Beast's Daniel Klaidman reports. Johnson will replace acting Secretary Rand Beers, who has been filling in since Janet Napolitano left to become president of the University of California system in September. Johnson was the Defense Department's general counsel from 2009 until last December.
Johnson's legacy at the Defense Department is marked by two high-profile issues: his advocacy of the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," and—as chief lawyer at the Pentagon—his legal authority over all drone strikes carried out by the Defense secretary and President Obama.
Johnson cowrote a report on gays in the military in 2010, an experience that helped turn him into the leading advocate for repeal of the military's don't ask, don't tell policy. In 2010, he told The New York Times that people "underestimate the military's ability to adapt."
But despite that leading, public advocacy on a major social issue, Johnson's role in the Obama administration's drone policy is much more relevant to his possible new perch at Homeland Security. And it could speak volumes about how the administration will conduct security policy through the end of Obama's term.

Good find, mojitojoe. Thanks.
Apart from everything else, this guy has zero qualifications to be head of Homeland Security. Which is absolutely the case with all of Obama’s other appointments. NONE of them is qualified for the jobs they are in. Except to carry out the plan of wrecking everything.
Obama’s new body man, maybe. Or his golfing partner. But that’s about the extent of it.
Welcome to black run America (BRA)
Without reading the entire article, just looking at him makes me want to lysol the computer screen. He oozes nasty creepy.
This guy has all the right credentials for the val/jar hate whitey administration. Black,african roots, probably gay,loyal to zero/valjar etc.,liberal.

show me the money
Johnson reminds be of our old acquaintance from history, Heinrich Luitpold Himmler, who founded the SS, and was instrumental in prosecuting The Holocaust..Johnson has the same squinty eyed, benevolent coercive utopian look about him.
