Former Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Chris Krebs
This afternoon, President Donald Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum that instructs the Department of Justice and “other aspects of [his] government” to investigate Chris Krebs and his acts as the former Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). At the signing, President Trump’s White House staff secretary Will Scharf stated:
“This is a man who weaponized his position against free speech in the election context and the context of COVID-19. This is a similar Presidential Memorandum to the one you just signed. It addresses his access to government existent clearances he might have and further instructs your Department of Justice, other aspects of your government, to investigate some of the malign acts he participated in while he was still head of CISA.”
“Chris Krebs… this is a man who weaponized his position against free speech in the election context… this instructs your department of justice.. to investigate..”

Before signing the memorandum, President Trump rehashed the consequences of the stolen 2020 election, including the deaths from the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, the Russia-Ukraine war, and October 7th. President Trump called it “a very corrupt election” and said “they used COVID to cheat.” He called Krebs a “wise-guy” and referenced his absurd statement almost immediately following the 2020 Election, calling it the “most secure in U.S. history.”
As an added bonus, it appears Michigan’s governor, Gretchen Whitmer, was present in the Oval Office for the signing of this declaration. Very interesting!

On November 12, 2020, Chris Krebs said that “government and industry representatives from the election security community issued a joint statement reflecting a consensus perspective that the 2020 election was the most secure in U.S. history.”
Secret CISA Vulnerabilities Report Prior to 2020 Election
It was an absolutely absurd assertion coming just nine days after the election, and only five days after Joe Biden was proclaimed the winner by the Mockingbird Media. In February 2024, Yehuda Miller uncovered a 2020 CISA report titled “Election Infrastructure Subsector Cyber Risk Summary,” that was published in March 2021.
The Executive Summary reads:
“This report provides analysis, findings, and recommendations derived from non-attributable cybersecurity trends observed between November 3, 2019, and November 3, 2020 – Election Year 2020 (EY20).”
CISA’s analysis of the available data assessed EI (election infrastructure) entities found:
76% of EI entities for which CISA performed a Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (RVA) had spearphishing weaknesses, which provide an entry point for adversaries to launch attacks;
48% of entities had a critical or high severity vulnerability on at least one internet-accessible host, providing potential attack vectors to adversaries;
39% of entities ran at least one risky service on an internet-accessible host, providing the opportunity for threat actors to attack otherwise legitimate services; and
34% of entities ran unsupported operating systems (OSs) on at least one internet-accessible host, which exposes entities to compromise.
Whether or not the findings of this report were known to Krebs when he made that reckless statement less than a week after a “winner” had been declared is not known, however, the fact that a year-long investigation into the vulnerabilities and the imminent report should have absolutely been known prior to that statement being made.
The report was set as TLP:Amber, which means Traffic Light Protocal. “Amber” means that “information that’s for limited disclosure and may be shared on a need-to-know basis, either only to those within an organization or its clients.”

Mass Censorship
The Gateway Pundit reported extensively on the Department of Homeland Security and CISA’s involvement, under Director Krebs, in the censorship operation that took place in 2020, regarding COVID-19 and the 2020 Election. The two government entities worked with the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), a collaboration of Digital Forensics Research Lab, Graphika, Stanford Internet Observatory, and the University of Washington Center for an Informed Public.
In the EIP’s Long Fuse Report, they laid out a massive censorship operation and their efforts to corroborate between government officials and social media companies to remove what they deemed “misinformation” and “disinformation.”

SolarWinds Hack
In December 2020, following the 2020 Presidential Election, CISA announced a massive sophisticated supply chain hack against SolarWinds, an IT management, network monitoring, and system performance optimization firm used by the federal government.
The attack infiltrated SolarWinds’ Orion software platform and distributed malicious updates to over 18,000 organizations worldwide. At the time, Dominion Voting Systems was using SolarWinds’ software on their system, according to a report from The Gateway Pundit in December 2020.
Chris Krebs would coincidentally go on to form the Krebs Stamos Group with Alex Stamos, the former Chief Security Officer for Facebook and the Director of the Stanford Internet Observatory. The same Stanford Internet Observatory that spearheaded the EIP and the 2020 censorship efforts.
As if that wasn’t enough of a “Small World” connection, their first client, according to TechCrunch, was none other than SolarWinds.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency was established and signed into law in 2018. Chris Krebs, an environmental sciences major and Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia and George Mason University, respectively, was designated the first acting Director.
