 DHS boss Chad Wolf defies Trump order to fire cyber chief Chris Krebs

Department of Homeland Security acting Secretary Chad Wolf is defying President Trump’s order to terminate election cybersecurity official Christopher Krebs, multiple sources tell The Post.

The White House on Wednesday evening instructed Wolf to fire Krebs after Krebs openly dismissed claims of voter fraud in the Nov. 3 election.

“He gave us a bunch of reasons why he didn’t want to do it and he said no,” a senior White House official told The Post about Wolf’s refusal.

“If anything, Chad is carrying Krebs’ water,” the source added.

Krebs, a former Microsoft executive, has since 2017 led DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and recently launched a “Rumor Control” website to debunk claims of voter fraud. A CISA panel declared Thursday that the “November 3rd election was the most secure in American history,” rejecting Trump’s claims of widespread fraud.

A different administration official said “the president wants to fire him” and “Chad Wolf is refusing.”

Get rid of both then and replace them with competent folks.

Yes they should both be fired and replaced .... but ... too late in the game for that.  Congress will recess soon for Thanksgiving and then the certification of ballots/lawsuits and whatever should be settled in a couple of weeks.

Hopefully we'll all have pleasant Holidays to reflect back on after the SHTF!

Doesn't bode well that it was anticipated by the WH or DT campaign that voter fraud like this would occur if the Swamp Creature head of the Cyber Security was allowed to remain.
