The POTUS has issued a memo ordering a federal investigation into Chris Krebs, former head of DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The president fired Krebs after the CISA director declared the 2020 election that Trump lost was the most secure in U.S. history.

"Trump's orders revoked the security clearances for Christopher Krebs, the former head of DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and Miles Taylor, a former senior DHS official who wrote a highly critical tell-all book about his time in Trump's first administration."

When Trump first took aim at Chris Krebs back in 2020, I started getting tons of hate mail that was directed at him. People full of ignorant rage figuring we're the same person because we share a last name. We're not even related.

Now it's happening again. Here's one I just got less than an hour ago:

Krebs:

I used to be an admirer of yours but, ever since the 2020 election, I lost all respect for you.

You either lied or were complicit in the 2020 election theft and DJT is coming after you.

Krooks like Krebs need to be held accountable and I can't wait.

Trump orders probe of former cybersecurity chief for declaring 2020 election secure

Democrats blasted Trump's targeting of Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor, top officials in his first administration, as 'weaponizing' the government.

The actual memo is such a bald faced distortion and inversion of reality:

POTUS alleges Krebs "promoted the censorship of election information, including known risks associated with certain voting practices, and falsely and baselessly denied that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen, including by inappropriately and categorically dismissing widespread election malfeasance and serious vulnerabilities with voting machines."

Falsely and baselessly denied claims that were baseless and roundly denied? That's some twisted logic right there.

@briankrebs Egregious and evil, from an aspiring dictator. "I want my people to stand up" (when I enter the room) who will soon be demanding military parades and eventually disappearances of his enemies.

I'd like to people follow him him around with little notebooks writing down his words of wisdom, but begin to suspect it's too late for even ridicule.
