Hold onto your hats, folks! The drama continues to unfold in the post-election fallout, and it’s getting uglier by the minute. The New York Times is reporting that Chris Krebs, the former head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is now under investigation by officials still loyal to Donald Trump. Why? Because Krebs had the audacity to tell the truth – to debunk the former president’s relentless, and frankly dangerous, lies about the 2020 election being stolen.

Let’s be clear: Krebs and CISA were instrumental in securing the election. They spent months debunking misinformation and assuring the public that the vote was legitimate. To see him targeted like this is a blatant attempt at intimidation and a chilling signal to anyone willing to stand up to power.
Understanding the Stakes: Election Security & Disinformation
Election security isn’t just about machines and software; it’s about trust. A functioning democracy depends on the public’s faith in the integrity of the electoral process.
Disinformation campaigns are designed to erode that trust. They exploit vulnerabilities in our information ecosystem, spreading false narratives that can sway public opinion and undermine democratic institutions.
CISA and figures like Chris Krebs played a crucial role in countering those threats. They provided accurate information, debunked conspiracy theories, and worked to safeguard the election from foreign interference.
This investigation isn’t simply about one man; it’s about the future of our elections. It’s a warning sign that truth and integrity are increasingly under attack, and the need for vigilance is higher than ever. We must fiercely defend those who dare to speak truth to power.
