A little history which may surprise people. @C_C_Krebs is the person who convinced me to leave the FBI in 2013 to come work with him, after our work together on the NLE 2012. In was a small company (I was employee 24) a d we shared an office together for a long time

The job turned out not to be a great fit for me (not his fault), but one thing I learned in that time is that he is ABSOLUTELY committed to making the country stronger and is one of only a handful of people who truly believed DHS could succeed.

I admit I was skeptical of some my former colleagues going to work for DHS during the Trump administration - Trump is a liar and a criminal. I didn't see how Chris and the others could escape with their integrity intact. Chris proved me wrong.

What happened today was just another outrage to some, but to me, it was a day when someone stood firm in the face of a tyrant and a bully and refused to acquiesce.

I've faced some scary things - kicked in doors and arrested some really bad people, so believe me: that took BALLS

Kudos. Well done.
