and more than three weeks after his military funeral. before which johnson s widow says that she was barred from viewing his remains by a military that she says has been painfully short on answers. it is an additional distress added to what the family has alleged was now infamously insensitive condolence call from president obama. my heart continues to go out to the johnson family who i recently met with. they deserve answers. and we here at politics nation hope they ll continue to get them. we ll be right back.
