Trump's cybersecurity advisors resign en masse

[RoosGirl]

Another Trump panel has taken a hit after eight out of 28 of its members resigned en masse. Members of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC), which advises Homeland Security on matters of cybersecurity, have dropped out of the panel due to several reasons. In the resignation letter obtained by NextGov, they said the president doesn't give enough attention to the country's cyber vulnerabilities. "You have given insufficient attention to the growing threats to the cybersecurity of the critical systems upon which all Americans depend, including those impacting the systems supporting our democratic election process," the letter reads.

They also cited his failure "to denounce intolerance and violence of hate groups" when asked about the "horrific violences in Charlottesville" as one of the reasons why they left. Instead, they said, the president chose to offer false equivalencies and question CEOs' motives when they decided to leave their respective advisory panels following the incident. In addition, they didn't appreciate his move to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.

Not enough attention so they quit.  Bunch of whiners

Apparently all these people are falling for the lefty media narrative on Charlottesville. This is the business leadership of our country and apparently they aren't savvy enough to see thru all the BS.

I'm not sure it's that.  I think that it is a business decision.  Which side is more likely to cause trouble in front of stores and get publicity that can do some financial damage?

And they don't seem to realize that their rhetoric for leaving is just going to embolden the ones they are afraid of, hoping that they get eaten last.

Nothing like a leading question.

I wonder if they're going to do what the CEOs formerly on the business advisory committees are doing.  They're calling the President's office to set a time to talk one on one over breakfast or lunch or by conference call.  Frauds.

Sounds like they ARE card carrying members themselves.
