So strange to keep in one’s lane when it’s obvious a high-speed police chase is in progress.
As though the head of DHS doesn’t read the IC counterintelligence materials from other agencies or even the recent OIG report from the DoJ.
Is keeping the job really worth being a historical punchline. At least she doesn’t fall asleep during Cabinet meetings like Wilbur Ross.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Thursday asserted that the Russian government is not trying to pick sides when it interferes in U.S. elections — even though the Senate Intelligence Committee determined that Russians meddled in the 2016 election to help then-candidate Donald Trump win.

“It’s not so much — exactly as you say — about taking sides,” she added. “They are just trying to sow mistrust, you know. So Americans aren’t sure what information is real. And then chaos and, frankly, incitement to violence in some cases as we saw with the protests.”

With chants of "shame" and "end family separation," protesters shouted at Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen as she dined at a Mexican restaurant in Washington, DC

Allison Hrabar was one of a group of protesters who heckled Nielsen over the administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy, which has separated roughly 2,000 children from their parents. President Trump signed an executive order ending the practice on Wednesday under enormous pressure.
Hrabar told the Washington Examiner that her decision to protest Nielsen on Tuesday was an expression of her First Amendment rights done off the clock. Hrabar's LinkedIn page indicates she works as a paralegal specialist with the Justice Department.
“If you see these people in public, you should remind them that they shouldn’t have peace,” she told the Examiner. “We aren’t the only ones who can do this. Anyone who sees Kirstjen Nielsen at dinner, anyone who sees anyone who works at DHS and [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] at dinner can confront them like this, and that’s what we hope this will inspire people to do.”
Hrabar was among the several members of the Washington, D.C., chapter of Democratic Socialists of America who took part in the protest confronting Nielsen.
