Christopher Krebs, the former top cybersecurity official, said President Donald Trump's decision to unceremoniously fire him via tweet last week was"not how I wanted to go out."
Krebs, who was booted from his job as director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, told CBS'"60 Minutes" in an interview that he was not completely surprised by his dismissal and shared that he's most upset about not having a chance to say farewell to his former team."I don't know if I was necessarily surprised.
Then why are the courts not stepping in for treason. Trump is not doing America any favors
Don't fight for democracy, to save democracy. You must abide democracy, to maintain democracy. During the game, a guy cheated, but he must be allowed to cheat, to maintain the image of integrity in the game. Without the appearance of integrity, the game is a fragile system. WTF?
Trump works for us...make him work
Pointing out and exposing fraud is a basic need in any democracy. It does not undermine confidence, it builds confidence by knowing people within government care. The left and media are trying hard to make fraud status quo and acceptable. It is not.
Trump doesn’t care about anything other than himself.
What democrats have done in the last 8 years has done a lifetime of damage to our country
Election integrity is extremely important, maybe one of the MOST important things going on right now...what are you saying.
That’s Chip Gaines from Fixer Upper. You can’t fool me CNN
That’s like telling him to be faithful to his wife.
I’m sorry he-he.....what?
90% of news about covid and trump
Election fraud undermines the confidence and integrity of our democracy.
Has Chris read executive order 13848 recently? Perhaps you should and prepare.
Hero ❤
Don't worry pretty soon Trump will be fired
Krebs is a national hero
Hired by the tRump and then he threw a tantRump when smart Krebs said our election was the most free. The most fair ever. Good for you Krebs to be fired by the little fingered idiot! Your badge of honor!!! 🇺🇸💙
Failed at your job!! Major voter fraud!!😝
europe nato mak office's are fighting against terrorist fascists is a lie, fight against Azerbaijan and Turkey are terrorist states and dangerous for the region
Shows you that it was about time to clean the orange around your mouth.
Thank you for your commitment to the American voters. You have integrity!!!
Very sad,trump is the biggest security threat the US has.Hopefully Biden will hire him back.
Did he call for forensics investigation of the software of the counting machine?
Do what most Government and others, do when someone departs, have a going away luncheon or dinner, get your plaque, certificate, gift and/or cake and say goodbye (may want to wait until COVID is under control).
Didn’t surprised him? 😬🙄
Sue for wrongful termination. It's the proper thing to do. C_C_Krebs
Surprise* , and who cares?
Trump doesn't care. Contact them and let them know anyway. Inordinate Trump can't stop that. You may get hired on by Biden at some time.
Trump is inhuman
One of the only people (public knows of who filled an appointed position after inauguration) ok having back! But than again easier to testify against dear leader if not federal employee!!
Don’t cry!!! This is the big boys world!!! You don’t do your job you get fired!! NFL qbs throw interceptions they get sat down!! Put on your big boy pants and spit your mommas tit out of your mouth!!
That’s OK At the end it’ll show it was rightfully correct to fire this man We’ll just sit back and wait and time will reveal truth
“You think there was four years of chaos under Trump because the media created said chaos. You’ll think there’s four years of calm under Biden because even if World War III pops off, the media will create the illusion of peace and calm. None of what you see is real.” -Jesse Kelly
I hope our new president Biden brings him back after the traitor leaves the WH in January.
Trump is a sociopath.
So he was working for Beijing Biden!!
So he says he is sorry he didn't say farewell to whom, his Chinese superiors!! 'GET BEHIND ME SATAN'!!!
He may have his job back on in January, with a pay raise.
Typos in your report. “Surprised”? 😂🤣🤭🤭🤭
Well AMERICA LOVED IT. BYE BYE F*CK FACE
I’m confused. Didn’t the Whitehouse win a case in court by saying his tweets were not orders? Or am I confusing that with something else?
Just because he told the truth? Trump can't handle that. You're fired! 😣
*surprise.
RespectKrebs
Those who cross the presidents line are always fired since he can’t stand the truth or be wrong .. even if he is wrong. Playing the game like a 2 year old.
Well that's Trump for you!
The ‘smartest man in the room’ has joined Sidney Powell’s team. He's 1 in world on DOMINION VOTE MANIPULATION SYSTEM & how it works worldwide! How easy it was to switch TRUMP VOTES to BIDEN VOTES!
Fired by trump, for doing your job. Badge of honor.
Awwww
He wanted nothing more from you because you were useless and did not do your job..You can't be surprised
Well, at least he has The Krusty Kreb as his main business.
Poor thing.............🙄
This gentleman here is a fine example of what Trump does when you don’t do what he wants that’s really sad
Boo Hoo 😢
He’s a traitor
Thank you Mr Krebs for being a true, strong American. Your honesty will be remembered and rewarded
“Firing by Tweet” has new meaning Chris: as in “Trump you are fired. Joe Biden kicked your ass. Bye bye fat boy.” Very best of luck sir!
I am sure they miss you too..
After Trump leaves the WH, he'll have a library... I wonder what's gonna be in those books besides hatred, division, bigotry, corruption...
Who wants to be fired via social media?!! So disrespectful to Chris and oh so woefully unprofessional. RUMP is such a buffoon and Chris deserved SO MUCH better.
Obviously missed something ... d;)
CNN is now explaining manners as something from the past, referring to men on the titanic allowing women and children to board the life boats first and how they changed society largely through educational system WTF CNN
Christopher Krebs) did a fantastic job. He worked for all the people. But that is not allowed under a Trump Administration. You must work in Trump’s interests. Coward GOP members won’t speak out. The raft of Trump will destroy their career & our democracy. Trump wants power.
Well if the President can fire someone by twitter then we can deal with this via Twitter too.
Hopefully the Biden administration will reinstate him!
This man should be in jail. He is lucky Trump is a fair and forgiving ruler, because Trump would have been 100% justified in having him and everyone else who has denied the rigging of the election arrested. At this point I wish Trump would stop playing nice. Arrest everyone!
Boo freakin hoo ! They have cell phone !
I have a distinct feeling he will be reuniting with his team soon. This is merely an unpaid sabbatical.
👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Hopefully he will have a place in the Biden administration
Need to be incompetent in your job under Trump, spread lies cover up for him to keep your job, remember if you get caught cover for him he will pardon you on his way out.
He should be in jail with the rest of the corrupt shadow government

Serious question - does a “tweet” constitute a formal adverse action position by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management? Couldn’t he have just shown up and kept on working until such time as he received that formal notification?
Thank you for your honor & integrity! You are truly American!!!!
BRAINEASHING 101!
That's the main reason realDonaldTrump was voted out. His reckless behavior very unbecoming of a U.S. President was the driving force. Americans expected a fatherly figure in the President; but, we got a 70 something childish spoiled brat instead. Good riddance! FT
All my REPUBLICANs!! We have 3 Options to Save America!! 1. STAND WITH TRUMP & WriteInTrump NAME for the GEORGIA SENATE RUNOFFS!! 2. Write in KANYE West If you Really hate Democrats!! 3. Or, Boycott Runoff Elections all together to stand United Against Biden! MAGA
Didn’t know Tucker Carlson was a top cyber security official
Oh I really hope this corrupt creep survives this unspeakable injustice
Trump's a con and coward. He can only face a firing on tv.
trump is 'pushing baseless conspiracy theories'. Exactly like CNN has done for 4 years. And how many of CNN's talking heads have written books about their baseless conspiracy theories ? And personally made big $$$. Hypocrites
Fired by a Tweet that’s a new one !
