    Is he related to Brian Krebs?

      Even less likely he will be deplatformed now that Trump fired him. Maybe these fake suicides are by design.

          Krebs is one of the people addressed by Hitler during the famous scene from Downfall.

          Coincidence?

          There are no coincidences in life.

          I was only joking

              Dude, we had to tag part of the molecule and follow it around twice. If I had to even remember the cycle now, just go ahead and shoot me, it ain't happening.

                https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/18/republicans-denounce-trump-krebs-cybersecurity-437716

                [Republican Senator] Capito said she was “disappointed” and flummoxed by Trump’s personnel decisions: “I can’t explain it.” Others were more blunt.

                Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called Trump’s move a “terrible mistake,” adding that Krebs is “an extraordinary talent who does a superb job overseeing the protection of our cyber capabilities.”

                The firing also set off renewed concerns that the president would spend his final weeks in the White House impulsively ousting officials who crossed him and making erratic policy shifts that could not be easily undone.

                “It’s the president’s prerogative, but I think it just adds to the confusion and chaos,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters. “And I’m sure I’m not the only one that would like some return to a little bit more of a — I don’t even know what’s normal anymore.”

                In fact, few Republicans took issue with Krebs at all. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), a strong supporter of the president, said Krebs did an “outstanding” job in his role because of the lack of foreign interference in the 2020 campaign.

                  I wonder how many people have heard of CISA much less the fact that it was created Two years ago... by Trump.

                          Krebs files defamation lawsuit against Trump campaign:

                          https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/chris-krebs-sues-trump-campaign-digenova/2020/12/08/61a68a30-389a-11eb-bc68-96af0daae728_story.html

                          “The former top U.S. cybersecurity official responsible for securing November’s presidential election sued the Trump campaign and one of its lawyers for defamation Tuesday, asserting that they conspired to falsely claim the election was stolen, attack dissenting Republicans and fraudulently reap political donations.

                          Christopher Krebs, who was fired Nov. 17 by President Trump after he refuted the president’s claims of widespread election fraud, singled out comments made almost two weeks later by attorney Joseph diGenova, who said Krebs should face the same punishment inflicted on those convicted of treason because he had asserted that the 2020 election was the most secure in history.

                          “He should be drawn and quartered,” diGenova said on the outlet Newsmax, a third defendant. “Taken out at dawn and shot.”

                          He also labeled Krebs an “idiot” and a “class-A moron” during the segment, which unleashed a flood of social media comments that left Krebs, his wife and several of their young children in fear for their lives, according to the lawsuit.

                          At one point, according to the lawsuit, the Krebs’s 10-year-old child asked: “Daddy’s going to get executed?”
                          ...”

                              I'm not really sure it counts as draining when DJT was the one who hired him to begin with.

                                You hire them, you give them a shot, and if they don't fit the program you fire them. Firing someone is not a negative against the employer. Not firing someone who needs firing is a negative.

                                  What percent of Americans even know who Krebs is? I’ll bet they are more likely to say Kreb Cycle which tells you how little this matters. It will blow away like a fart in the wind.
