Dictators attack innocent relatives of their enemies. We are at that point [1]

TFG appointed Chris Krebs (Wikipedia link) as the director of CISA, (the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency). CISA is an agency under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsible for cybersecurity and infrastructure protection across all levels of government.
As CISA's director, Mr. Krebs was the "administration's most senior cybersecurity official responsible for securing the presidential election”, and after the 2020 election he committed the ultimate sin in the eye of MAGAverse: he officially declared that any claims that Biden stole the election "nonsense" and a "hoax”. Not only that, CISA created a website to debunk the disinformation, much of which was coming from TFG.
On November 17, 2020, Krebs said in a tweet that "59 election security experts all agree, 'in every case of which we are aware, these claims (of fraud) either have been unsubstantiated or are technically incoherent.'" Trump fired Krebs via Twitter the same day, because the "recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 Election was highly inaccurate, in that there were massive improprieties and fraud". Trump provided no evidence of this fraud. (copied from Wikipedia).
On April 9, 2025 via a presidential memo titled Addressing Risks from Chris Krebs and Government Censorship, among other things TFG:
Revoked Chris Krebs’ security clearance
Suspended any active security clearances held by individuals at entities associated with Krebs, including SentinelOne (Krebs’ employer) ’
This means SentinelOne will lose any government contracts that require security clearances, and any future employer will hesitate about hiring Chris Krebs.
I think it is fair to say that the chilling effect on the civil rights violation of Mr. Krebs and SentinelOne (to quote Romney, corporations are people my friend) will be ignored by the puppet SCOTUS majority.
Mr. Krebs served his country honorably and upheld his oath to the Constitution. Now, in keeping with the finest tradition of dictators, TFG is going after associates of his perceived enemies, and it reflects great credit upon him as a dictator.
