well, I suspect why that is, but still they are so brazen

you'd expect a lot of backlash from the public on all sides

Thank you for posting. I hope others will actually listen to him. He is a real expert.

Not just an expert but was in charge of election security during the election in trumps DHS

60 Minutes is highly regarded. It's an institution.

that makes him an important datapoint, but certainly not a disinterested one

you're basically asking the guy in charge if he thinks he's incompetent or wasn't up to the task

He's actually very interested... He is the person that was put in charge of making sure that the election was safe by Trump himself. The guy put his job on the line to make sure that the truth was known.

If he was incompetent and missed fraud all he had to do was say hey look fraud and be hailed as a hero in his party. Instead he debunked rumors knowing he would get fired for competence instead of loyalty

yep

this is like you ask Bolton if he thinks Trump is right when he calls him a total idiot

I won't expect a yes

and yea Trump appointed him

and well, he wasn't great IMO

Bolton wanted to sell books. Nobody puts credence in what he says.

Bolton or Krebs?

Bolton

@TaLoN132 lots of news organizations used to be highly regarded for News like content but after consolidation they are a little more than an advertisement platform for their primary shareholders' interests.

I don't think Krebs' work is as public

most people wouldn't have even heard of him two weeks ago, let alone the details of his work

which is probably mostly behind the scenes

What makes 60 minutes not credible? Trump storming off? 😅

if someone questioned 60 minutes I missed it

Did you watch the 60 Minutes interview?

personally I have no opinion about it, I will watch the interview later today

I am willing to bet that the Biden team is going to call him as an expert witness at some point.

I just think it's funny that people would just take the guy's word

this is like my cousin when I told him if he thinks his gf cheats on him (because I saw her around)

Hes only probably a good witness for the kraken if it ever grows legs

and he said "no, she told me she doesn't"

Whose word?

in this case Krebs' (haven't watched the interview yet)

There were several reports when he was fired where reporters went to get dirt on him. Not one of his subordinates had anything but glowing things to say about him - after he was fired. That's exceedingly rare. I have not seen one negative report. 60 Minutes reported that many Republican Senators vouched for him.

that's usually the case in that kind of role...

if you work in management and you do well with your subordinates they will speak well of you

nothing to do with your actual perf

I mean, you can do fantastically well as a coworker in the social sense

and your machines get hacked

and nobody find out

totally separate issues
