Lockheed Martin (LMT) announced today that its board of directors has elected Jeh C. Johnson and James D. Taiclet, Jr. to the board effective January 1, 2018.

Johnson, 60, is a partner at the international law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. Previously, he served as U.S. secretary of homeland security as part of an exemplary career of public service. He also served as general counsel of the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of the Air Force. He's currently a director of PG&E Corporation (PCG).

Taiclet, 57, is chairman, president and chief executive officer of American Tower Corporation, a global developer, owner and operator of telecommunications real estate. Prior to that role, he focused on aerospace, serving as president of Honeywell Aerospace Services, a unit of Honeywell International; as vice president, Engine Services at Pratt & Whitney, a unit of United Technologies Corporation; and as a consultant at McKinsey & Company, specializing in telecommunications and aerospace strategy and operations. He began his career as a U.S. Air Force officer and pilot.

"Jeh and Jim will bring additional critical experience as we develop next generation technology and grow internationally," said Marillyn Hewson, Lockheed Martin's chairman, president and CEO. "Jeh's experience in acquisition and government operations and Jim's aerospace and global perspective will help advance our ability to anticipate and exceed our customers' expectations."

"Lockheed Martin associates with losers and crooks."

They ALL do. Last company I worked for had Christine Todd Whitman on the board.
They are all the same - deep-state R's and deep-state D's. And they all hate Trump.

Jeh Johnson is a touch of the highest caliber. If I owned any stock in Lockheed, I would punch out as fast as I could squeeze the ejection handles. Two of my kids are serving in the Coast Guard, a part of HHS now. When he was appointed as Secretary, I had a large bit of vomit in my mouth! In all appearances before the cameras, he has totally unimpressed. He has been and is the poster boy for EEOC, level playing field and all of the other programs that have given us mediocrity in the workplace. From the dark history of Obama!

NOT ANOTHER MILITARY OR GOVERMENT CONTRACT TO LOCKHEED MARTIN. Time to return fire with Daisy Cutter and Bunker Buster.

I believe the LM director is a split tail. They gotta have diversity. I was at a LM conference a couple of years ago and they had a three hour class on the TG diversity policy at LM. There were two TG’s there, two guys with beards dressed in skirts and high heels. I laughed out loud and was told to shut up and sit down. They gotta be out of their minds.

Big companies all have people like him on their boards, so you couldn’t own many stocks. But they have nothing to do with operations.

I’m so glad I retired from that zoo. I should have bailed out years and years ago.

He is mediocrity personified. Lockheed will fall off in the market place. This is a disastrous hire.

This will have no effect on LM’s operations.

These guys are entirely for show and only exist to provide their rolodex and services in opening doors.

As far as voting on critical business plans that they have no expertise in, they will vote as they are told to.

The essence of being a successful corruptocrat: be good boys, don’t rock the canoe.

Jeh C. Johnson is one of Obuma’s turds who should be arrested for treason.

That’s how Jim Comey became a millionaire. Worked for L-M for a few years, and was given $6 Million gift when he left. IIRC.
