  Chris Krebs has done a great job protecting our elections. He is one of the few people in this Administration respected by everyone on both sides of the aisle. There is no possible justification to remove him from office. None. https://twitter.com/...

  White House officials have asked for content to be edited or removed from the Rumor Control website, which has pushed back against false claims about the election. CISA officials have refused to delete accurate information. https://www.reuters.com/...

  Chris Krebs expects to be fired soon, @Bing_Chris reports. Krebs has been one of the top and most visible election security officials and has aggressively debunked misinformation in the aftermath. Widely respected for his work this year. https://www.reuters.com/...

  “White House officials asked for content to be edited or removed which pushed back against false claims about the election, including that Democrats are behind a mass election fraud scheme. CISA officials have chosen not to delete accurate information.” https://www.reuters.com/..…

  US officials credited with significant successes in defending our elections from interference, cyberattacks, disinfo are being asked to resign/expect to be fired Because of course POTUS would rather compromise national security than grow up Just pathetic https://www.reuters.com/.…

  Firing the Director of @CISAgov would be deeply harmful to bipartisan efforts to prevent cyberattacks and maintain the integrity of our elections. We cannot have more unnecessary uncertainty and turmoil at our defense and homeland security agencies during this transition period. …

  On the Homeland Security Committee, I've seen Chris Krebs in action, and repeatedly questioned him on election and cyber security issues. He's a professional and a public servant who has done critical work to safeguard our elections and stop the spread of misinformation. https://…

  The cybersecurity and information security world is notoriously fractious, which should make the universal plaudits of Chris Krebs' tenure at CISA that much more impressive.

  White House officials have asked CISA to remove or change fact-checks posted on the agency's Rumor Control website, and the agency has refused, per @Bing_Chris and @josephmenn's reporting. https://www.reuters.com/...

  White House appears ready to fire a top U.S. official for posting information intended to reassure voters — but debunked the false narrative advanced by the president. Orwellian. https://www.reuters.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Yet another nail in the coffin of the unfounded claims of a fraud-filled, “stolen” election — and from Trump's own Homeland Security Department: https://www.axios.com/...

  Another reportedly impending firing of a security official, the head of the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, which is responsible for protecting our elections from hacking and disinformation. He's apparently doing his job too well for Trump. https://www.reuters.com…

  Krebs publicly called the right wing-conspiracy theory about “Hammer” and “Scorecard” computer/software changing votes “nonsense.” And it was helpful that he did. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...

• @ericgeller Eric Geller on x

  Latest tidbit from Reuters: the White House was especially angry at CISA for debunking the “Hammer and Scorecard” conspiracy theory. Krebs has been particularly vocal in recent days about that one being false.

  It's hard to describe how enormously important it's been when officials like @CISAKrebs have been willing to issue clear statements on threats & origins, shoot down overt untruths and conspiracies. It gives us statements of authority to point to, shows how govt can get this right…

  CISA drew the ire of the Trump White House over a website run by the agency dubbed “Rumor Control” which debunks misinformation about the election, according to the three people familiar with the matter. updated: https://www.reuters.com/...

• @bing_chris Chris Bing on x

  Krebs has drawn widespread bipartisan praise for his handling of the Nov. 3 U.S. election, which generally ran smoothly despite persistent fears that foreign hackers might try to undermine the vote.

  I've tracked DHS's election efforts. They were heroic. Without any real money or new authority, they bolstered the safety of election infrastructure markedly and made local officials sharper. Of course, Trump is now rewarding their efforts by pushing their leaders out the door. h…
