Tony Trenkle, the Obamacare official in charge of HealthCare.gov security efforts announced his resignation Wednesday, effective next week.

CBS News has learned that Trenkle, the Chief Information Officer for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), was originally supposed to sign off on security for the glitch-ridden website before its Oct. 1 launch, but didn't. Instead, the authorization on September 27 was given by Trenkle's boss, CMS administrator Marilyn Tavenner.

Trenkle may be smarter than they gave him credit for.
Bwhahahahaha.

“Trenkle and two other CMS officials, including Chief Operating Officer Michelle Snyder, signed an unusual “risk acknowledgement” saying that the agency’s mitigation plan for rigorous monitoring and ongoing tests did “not reduce the (security) risk to the ... system itself going into operation on October 1, 2013.”

So Trenkle refused to sign off on an abomination, and he is fired. He and Michelle Snyder and another unnamed person shoud be given succor and a JOB elsewhere, where integrity matters, as it does not, sadly, in this administration.

If I am reading this right.

"I was not aware of this and I did not have these discussions with the White House because I wasn't aware of them," Sebelius testified.

"I was not aware"

"I was not aware"

"I was not aware"

"I was not aware"

"I was not aware"

"I was not aware"

"I was not aware"

Honest to God, is anybody in this sorry wreck of an administration aware of anything?

I don’t think you can say spades when refering to the Obozo administration.

Hey, if I was responsible and looking for a job in the private sector, that’s what I’d say. /S

"Are you the official at CMS responsible for making...the security authorization decisions?" Roberts asked.

Tavenner replied, "So I think in the case, because of the visibility of the exchange, the Chief Information Officer wanted to make me aware of it and I agreed to sign it with their recommendation to proceed.

Another lie.
