Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson pleaded ignorance Thursday when asked during a Senate hearing about a massive purging of counterterrorism materials that cite Islam and jihad at his agency.
Specifically, Johnson was grilled over a DHS whistleblower’s explosive charge that his agency ordered hundreds of classified counterterrorism files containing key intelligence data deleted or altered to avoid offending Muslims.
“Was that testimony accurate?” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, asked the secretary, who was called to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee concerning Homeland Security oversight.
“I have no idea,” Johnson claimed, shrugging off the controversy as an issue of semantics not particularly relevant to fighting terrorism.

It was probably the oath keepers!!! I had heard many years ago they would not sit idly and watch our nation crumble. That they would protect America from all of our enemies both foreign and domestic. Legend has it that they are even paid to and have the logistics necessary to protect our country from its enemies. With this swift incontrovertible action taken by the oath keepers, I must apologize for claiming you all were a worthless bunch, for claiming you are doing nothing while our nations goes to #e and republic is lost.
So thank you oath keepers. Thank you for everything. You have done so much for us. modern day founders is what you are.

'I have no idea'
Is this the prerequisite for a job in the US government?

What does it say about us, that our government will listen to, and do as commanded by these people, and ignore the wishes of the American people?
People, we are being screwed.
