Chris Krebs, former U.S. cybersecurity chief , warned it will take years to erase the disinformation spread by President Trump throughout his presidency that last week incited insurrectionists to storm the U.S. Capitol.
“We’re on the verge of what I fear to be a pretty significant breakdown in democracy and civil society,” said Krebs. The FBI has warned of violent demonstrations nationwide in the days leading up to Joe Biden’s inauguration.
“This is the equivalent of ignoring pain in your chest for a couple weeks and then all of a sudden you have a catastrophic heart attack,” Krebs said “We’re on the verge of what I fear to be a pretty significant breakdown in democracy and civil society here.”
He said he hoped top law enforcement officials would step up to quell potential insurrection efforts but warned the damage would not end with Trump’s presidency.
″Over the next couple years, we have to continue chipping away at the disinformation and the propaganda and the lies that have been spread over the last several years to generate and motivate and incite these actors.”
“The narrative’s been set, it’s been ingrained,” he added. “I’m sure the president will continue to claim that the election was stolen, whether for fundraising opportunities or just to shield his ego.”
He said Trump was responsible and would ultimately have to take responsibility.
”I see the District of Columbia attorney general is looking at criminal charges. That is part of the toolkit that the next administration, that others will have to employ here to get some semblance of order back into the mainstream.”
Krebs was fired via tweet by Trump in November after the Department of Homeland Security office he led, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said it found no evidence of significant electoral fraud.

Deep State Hack
Correction:
It only does harm to us. Harm—not “hard.”
Depends on what he sees as his mission.
My point of view is that the mission is to sell out the USA resources and people.
he did do his job, his job was to make sure the bad orange man didn’t get re-elected. He never worked for us
It’s legitimately terrifying what is unfurling in front of us. This is literally from the history books of Weimar Germany. For those who didn’t pay attention in high school history: that doesn’t end well

It even goes as far as the succession plot with the morribund president and the radical successor. All anyone need to do is exchange “Harris” for “Hitler” and it’s all there.
There’s going to be a freakin’ war.
We had a four year taste of what freedom might be like.
The winners (yeah... right) are taking it away from us in one fell swoop, and we’re not going to stand for it.
No freakin’ way.
Damn, I’m angry.
Does anybody plan or know anyone who plans to protest any time soon? Surely no one is going to fall for the “show up armed at the state capitol” trap.
Show up armed at the State Capitol....
That’s like the Clint Eastwood film..if you’re going to talk talk, if you’re going to shoot you shoot.
Running around with guns as a “statement” is nothing but trouble.
Frankly, the damage is already done in the sense the narrative thing and the media have mainstreamed Trump as being responsible for the DC gathering. It’s of course stupid to anyone with a brain, but it’s a message that isn’t meant for conservatives or intelligent people of any stripe. It’s for the pop culture crowd, to entertain between episodes of whatever tv show the idiot sheep wanna watch.
I’d have to agree.
What with Capital Hill in the Communist’s pocket, now actual
Republic exists at this time.
For the first time, we are closer to a Democracy than the
Republic.
Most incivil behavior is perpetrated by Democrats and their minions.
