Summary

Preet answers a listener question about the request made by Joel Greenberg, an associate of Rep. Matt Gaetz, to delay his sentencing so he can continue cooperating with the government in a sex trafficking probe. He also answers questions about the DOJ’s announcement that it is reviewing its decision not to prosecute the FBI agents who mishandled the investigation into the disgraced USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, and the recent Facebook outage. Then, Preet interviews Chris Krebs, the former Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, who was fired by former President Trump after calling the 2020 election the “most secure in history.” For show notes and a transcript of the episode, head to: https://cafe.com/stay-tuned/election-truths-lies-with-chris-krebs/ Don’t miss the Insider Bonus, where Preet asks Krebs a series of lightning round questions.
