Senior U.S. cybersecurity official asked to resign amid Trump transition tumult
Reuters ^

Posted on 11/12/2020 12:48:38 PM PST by TigerClaws

A senior U.S. cybersecurity official is leaving government after being asked to resign, an official familiar with the matter said Thursday, part of a wider thinning of President Donald Trump’s administration following Joe Biden’s election win.

Bryan Ware, the Assistant Director for Cybersecurity for the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), confirmed to Reuters that he had handed in his resignation on Thursday.

He didn’t provide details, but a U.S. official familiar with the matter said the White House asked for Ware’s resignation earlier this week.

CISA and the White House did not immediately return an email seeking comment.

The news was first reported here by cybersecurity-focused news site CyberScoop.

Ware is one of several officials who’ve left national security-related posts after Trump’s loss, which the president has yet to concede.

The churn is being closely watched amid concern for the integrity of the transition from Trump to Biden.

I’m sure cybersecurity agencies are PACKED with Obama holdovers.

Sounds like it, but the Trump Admin may be “on” to some folks.

The man that many freepers are ridiculing is beginning to be proven correct...slowly as predicted, as well. Mr. Preznyak.

said, "Bryan Ware, the Assistant Director for Cybersecurity for the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), confirmed to Reuters that he had handed in his resignation on Thursday"

If this is true. it could mean CISA was compromised. We might have trouble without them. Trump created this group for election fraud expecting this BS to take place

A lie told often enough becomes the truth, or so they hope. ;)

Since resignations is all we ever seem to be able to get from these Federal employee crooks, such as the ones at the head of the FBI, would it not be reasonable to think that actual crimes were committed by this person, too?

Yup. It sounds like he's known for months they would try something like this.
