This afternoon, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is giving the following speech at Westminster College, in Fulton Missouri:
Thank you, President Akande, for that kind introduction. I congratulate you on your new position.

Thank you also for bestowing upon me an honorary degree.
This week, the Aspen Security Forum featured interviews with—among others—FBI Director James Comey, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, and NSA Director Adm. Michael Rogers. I have edited these discussions down to manageable length and focused them on the questions most of interest to Lawfare readers.
Comey's discussion with CNN's Wolf Blitzer is most notable for his comments on ISIS and encryption—as well as some pointed comments about cybersecurity.
