The Guardian has a story detailing the firing of Christopher Krebs, who served as the director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa)

President Trump made the announcement on Twitter on Tuesday, saying Krebs "has been terminated" and that his recent statement defending the security of the election was "highly inaccurate".

CISA last week released a statement refuting claims of widespread voter fraud. "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history," the statement read. "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."

Krebs, is a former Microsoft executive, and was appointed by President Trump after allegations of Russian interference with the 2016 election.

    Wait, wait, wait.... Lawyers, yeah? Lawyers who are threatened and back down instead of fighting back and SUING? They are being threatened and intimidated and THEY BACKED DOWN? Really? They don't just take people to court and sue anymore?

    Are they suing? Why would they back down if Trump's case was credible? Wow. Not very good lawyers.... about as good as my poo.

    AND, you can seriously look at the harm Trump is doing and condone it? Seriously... a guy who has peaceful protesters pepper-sprayed JUST FOR A PHOTO OP isn't a Fascist?
