WASHINGTON—A former top Trump administration official targeted with a federal investigation by President Trump said he would fight back against what he called an unprecedented campaign by the government to punish dissent.
Chris Krebs, one of Trump’s top cybersecurity officials in his first term, will resign from a leading security firm to more freely challenge the White House, he said. He joins a small but growing list of universities and law firms seeking to push back on Trump’s efforts to use the office of the president to attack critics and opponents.

Krebs' was the government official Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security for the US government. He enraged Trump by testifying that the 2020 elections were the cleanest in history. Here are Trump's reasons for launching a criminal investigation of Krebs:

 

"In his executive order on April 9, which took the extraordinary approach of going after a specific individual, Trump called Krebs a “bad-faith actor who weaponized and abused his Government authority.”

“Krebs’ misconduct involved the censorship of disfavored speech implicating the 2020 election and COVID-19 pandemic,” the order said. “Krebs, through CISA, falsely and baselessly denied that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen, including by inappropriately and categorically dismissing widespread election malfeasance and serious vulnerabilities with voting machines.”

This sentence brings to mind this from Alice in Wonderland:

"Sentence first, verdict afterwards."

Well, maybe nobody except you and me. If you really didn't care, you wouldn't comment.
