so can you explain what's going on and what's the significance of your post?
Its's a tad awkward for Trump to have been responsible setting up an election security govt dept as part of the Homeland Security Agency and appointing Krebs, which has worked with States and counting equipment manufactures.

CISA posted a “rumor control” page ahead of the general election in order to combat misinformation and disinformation, which has spiked following the contentious presidential election. The website has rebutted conspiracy theories about voter fraud that have been promoted by some Trump supporters.
Krebs has tweeted out updates to the page over the past week, reportedly drawing concerns from the White House.
Sen.
Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, strongly defended Krebs on Thursday.
“Chris Krebs has done a great job protecting our elections,”
Warner tweeted. “He is one of the few people in this Administration respected by everyone on both sides of the aisle. There is no possible justification to remove him from office. None."
Sen.
Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), another member of the Intelligence panel, also voiced his support for Krebs.
“Under Chris Krebs’ leadership, CISA has been a trusted source of election security information,” Wyden tweeted. “If Donald Trump fires him, it will suggest Trump is preparing to spread lies about the election from a government agency."
The White House did not offer comment, and a spokesperson for acting Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman
Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment.
Krebs’s potential ouster would leave a tremendous leadership vacuum at DHS and would leave the top government cybersecurity role vacant at a critical moment.
