President Donald Trump has just fired Chris Krebs, the nation’s first Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) via Tweet Tuesday night. Krebs’s agency had published the now famous report that determined the 2020 presidential election was the “most secure” in U.S. history.

“There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” the report stated.

In short, Trump is furious that his false claims of election fraud, that the vote was “rigged,” were debunked.

Legal and national security experts are blasting the president.

University of Texas law professor:

Chris Krebs is a person of the highest intellect, integrity, and commitment to the national security of the United States—as reflected, among lots of other things, in his commitment to tell the truth about the 2020 election.

Former federal prosecutor:

Krebs told the truth, and Trump's lies have no basis in fact. He was fired for telling the truth to the American people. https://t.co/9uqmwTP2Va

Voting rights expert:

On Nov 12 CISA director Chris Krebs accurately wrote: “The November 3rd election was most secure in American history. There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised.”

Trump just fired him for it. Truly outrageous

Former White House press secretary:

The firing of Chris Krebs means the Dems have to step up their pressure on Trump. House should come back on hold hearings. Use this in Georgia runoff. Biden stop being so patient. He's not leaving unless we kick him out.

As a DHS official, Chris Krebs could be blocked by the White House from testifying before a House committee. As a private citizen, he's free to testify. Time for House Dems to turn up the heat.

NBC News reporter:

Former DHS cybersecurity director director Chris Krebs was set to speak at an event titled “Foreign Interference and Election Meddling” at the Global Security Forum tomorrow. He’s spent the week dispelling voting conspiracy theories.

He was just fired by the president via tweet.

The outside counsel appointed by a federal court to review Attorney General Bill Barr’s motion to dismiss the Mike Flynn case has concluded it is a “corrupt and politically motivated favor unworthy of our justice system.”

John Gleeson, a retired judge appointed by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan blasted Barr for not addressing President Donald Trump’s attacks on the case and support for Flynn. Gleeson points to Trump’s “pressure campaign” to get Flynn off as the motivation for the unprecedented motion, as Politico  reports.

Ultimately, Gleeson recommends the motion to dismiss the Flynn case be denied.

“To describe the Government’s Motion to Dismiss as irregular would be a study in understatement,” Judge Gleeson wrote in his 30-page brief.

“In the United States, Presidents do not orchestrate pressure campaigns to get the Justice Department to drop charges against defendants who have pleaded guilty—twice, before two different judges—and whose guilt is obvious.”

Gleeson also says the “government’s failure to defend its own pretextual reasoning is matched by its silence on the subject of abuse of power.”

And he slams Barr’s actual work product as “riddled with legal and factual error.”

At least one attorney says Flynn will likely be incarcerated:

sentenced to a term of incarceration. Trump may very well pardon him. In response, Judge Sullivan will probably order an inquiry into the pardon as he as with DOJ’s motion to dismiss Flynn’s prosecution. Judge ABJ has similarly ordered an inquiry into the Roger Stone matter. 2/
