Fired director of US cyber agency Chris Krebs explains why he says vote was "most secure in American History

Chris Krebs, a lifelong Republican, was put in charge of the agency handling election security by President Trump two years ago. When Krebs said the 2020 election was the country's most secure ever, Mr. Trump fired him. Now, Krebs speaks to Scott Pelley.

1. His self-control is quite admirable ... and anyone who can't see this man is telling the truth

has very broken judgement.

Thank you Chris Krebs!

2. Watched 60 Minutes

I found him to be sincere and truly hurt for his team he’s worked with for 3 years. His leadership with thousands of election workers. I felt he put Country over party and a love for democracy. Maybe he will find a welcoming with us and we can have the benefit of a very moral man and his experience.

3. Good interview. Chris Krebs comes across as smart, fair and honest.

On the other hand, the clips of Trump show a petulant and whiny man-baby.

4. I believe him.

I wish there were problems with ballots in Grahams and McConnell's districts but apparently there are enough idiots in the GOP to vote for them.

5. KR for later.. TY Rhiannon!

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Of course if someone is competent and tells the truth, Trump has to fire him...

[Cha]

7. Happens every damn time.

trump has patterns

[Rhiannon12866]

8. He can't tolerate anyone who won't back up his lies and bizarre theories

So anyone competent has got to go! He's only lasted this long because of cowards willing to sell their souls.

[Cha]

9. That's right.. too many

soulless anti-Christs in the Senate.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I honestly don't get why long-time elected officials would sign on with Trump

But, even more, why anyone who's paying the slightest attention would vote for any one of them!

11. Krebs Put Forth Not Only Honesty, But Tremendous Self Control in This Interview

There were a few times in the interview when I was on the edge of my chair, silently begging him to come out and say something like, "I was fired because I wouldn't go along with Trump's lies and scheme to steal the 2020 election." He exerted tremendous self control in not letting himself be drawn into the partisan quagmire that is the aftermath of this election. He consistently put democracy and country over the partisan fray. Good job, Chris!

splintering.
