Julia pierson is going to be on the hot seat today. Lisa you have been inside that building. How surprised were you when you found out how far mr. Gonzalez was said to have gotten . I think it has shocked everyone. First of all, as you know the first reports were that he got inside the building at all. And then the first reports were that they apprehended him right inside the door. Now were learning he got all the way past that guard. The guard was not able to stop him, he made it into the east room where events are held, the president often gives speeches in there. And then finally on the way into the green room he was tackled. He was carrying a 3. 5inch knife, and its astonishing he got past all of the supposed layers of security designed to prevent someone from getting into the house. So there will be a lot of very tough questions for Julia Pierson who just took over the top job about 18 months ago. And she truly will face a lot of secureny about this department and what needs to be
All of these recommendations raise serious concerns about the way director mayorkas was overseeing the eb5 program and in turn should be considered as a qualifying factor to determine his fitness to be secondincommand in charge at the department of Homeland Security. To summarize, we know that the National Security staff and the department of Homeland Security conducted reviews of the Investor Visa Program that mr. Mayorkas has been overseeing since 2009. These reviews found that the program created a danger to National Security, including the threat of exploitation by spies, criminals, and other National Security threats. I and others have asked for more information about the potential National Security vulnerabilities in the program and we have received no answers. What we do know is that director mayorkas dramatically expanded a program that the administration, even d. H. S. , believes for a threat to National Security. And according to a draft report by the Inspector General, he di

Julia pierson, when a guy with a gun got on the same elevator with the commander in chief. Why did he find out about that event just minutes before you and i did . Good afternoon, everyone. Questions about how much the medical community is on the case as they race to contain ebola in the United States after the first diagnosis on u. S. Soil . How much is it after the hospital sends home the Liberian National and did not send anyone to dispose of his sheets and towels where he laid sick for days . They didnt send anyone until today after cnn began broadcasting his girlfriends concerns that the sheets were still on her bed. Race . Is that the right word .

We were given a heads up to expect it. They came out, it was both president elect and mitt romney but also Vice President elect mike pence briefly. There was a handshake moment. We shouted to the president elect, how did it go, and he said it went great. Few words but it descriptive. And as we asked governor romney a few questions, he didnt really respond to the questions.
