Jeh Johnson on DNC Hack: ‘I Should Have Camped Out’ at the Front Door of the DNC

RUSH EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: "Well, with the benefit of hindsight, there is always more things you can say to yourself I should have done. Like I said earlier, you know, with the benefit of hindsight perhaps I should have camped out at the front door of the headquarters of the DNC, but at the time knowing what we knew and wrestling with all of the considerations we had, I can tell you that this was a very much a top priority for me, because none of us knew how this was going to come out and how far the Russians were going to go in their efforts so I can tell you, with the benefit of hindsight this was a top priority for me, and virtually every day during the campaign season I was questioning my own staff about are we mobilized, are we energized enough to do what we need to do, have we set up a crisis response center on election night which we did, at one point I said this in my prepared statement, I picked up the phone and called the CEO of Associated Press that has -- and has had for years the responsibility for election night reporting to make sure that their systems were satisfactory and I was satisfied they have enough redundancies as well. So this was something that was you know, very much upper most on our minds in the run-up to the election."
