Jeh Johnson on Combating Terrorism: No Matter Who the President Is We Have To Make Sure that We Set the Right Priorities

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: "Well, no matter who the president is and whose administration it is, I believe there needs to be an intense focus among counter-terrorism officials in multiple agencies right now on this evolving heightened threat picture that we see right now, no matter who the president is. And there are counter-terrorism professionals at the Pentagon, at the FBI, at NCTC, CIA, ODNI, multiple agencies that are charged with looking at this evolving threat picture. Our political leadership has to pay close attention to the evolving intelligence picture to make sure that we set the right priorities and we do not take our eye off the ball."
