Paranoid Kash Patel polygraphs FBI agents in MAGA purge
Top brass at the agency are being pushed out as the chief continues his obsessive quest to plug leaks.
The FBI has devolved into chaos amid Director Kash Patel’s ongoing efforts to rid the agency of staff disloyal to the Trump administration.
Patel is now subjecting senior executives to polygraphs at a “rapid rate,” The New York Times reports, as part of a wider effort to stamp out embarrassing news leaks from within the agency.
One senior official told the Times in its exposé that he was forced out last month after being subjected to a lie detector test. He believes he was targeted because he hadn’t told Patel about his wife taking a knee during the 2020 protests against police brutality in Washington, D.C.
Ah yes, because those are totally a real and trustworthy technology and not some snake oil bullshit that is inadmissible in court because of how snake oil bullshit it is.
Anyway, that tracks.
You think the FBI under trump should be taken seriously? The government is an international laughing stock.
inadmissible in court
The judicial coup is out of control /s
The fall of the US Empire on full display.
A stress detector mislabled as a lie detector. Fuck right off..
don't they know that polygraphs don't actually work? it's taught in psych 101 ffs
They probably do and just don't care.
I'm sure they have a whole guidebook on how to present them to a judge in such a way that they can be used as evidence for baseless search warrants.
They work, but only 50% of the time...

This is basically what J. Edgar Hoover did. I didn't think he ever used a polygraph specifically, but he did ideological purges all the time.
The FBI has always been like this.
(I would say hi to my agent, but let's be honest, he's probably been laid off already)
He’s been replaced by ai 100%
Has the search for his neck begun?
Polygraphs are bullshit and easy to defeat
It’s not about the polygraph results. It’s if you’re smart enough to know polygraphs are bullshit and refuse to take one the opposition will use that as an implication of guilt. And because they’re bullshit and you get a “guilty” result, they’ll use that too.
devolved into chaos
i love how we're still pretending things are otherwise orderly when literal nazi clowns are running the show.
None dare call it FASCISM.
No kidding, this guy is the most shady looking m’fucker in US politics.
Every photo of this looks like he just mistrusted a fart
He looks like he's just as surprised as everyone else that he's actually in charge of the FBI... It's imposter syndrome, but the dude is an actual imposter.
His children's book for anyone who may have missed it. I think there's actually a whole series of them.
Conservatives should be outlawed as they pose a serious danger to children imo.
Fuck, I read some reviews from that page. What a depressing situation. I'm sure many are bots, but still.
There is a
horse
loose
in the hospital
This guy is a bigger pansy than trump. Anyone that paranoid is an evil coward
Is the FBI really so full of abject cowards that they're all just rolling over and taking this? The US is so boned.
Now do him
<blink>fascism in progress</blink>
Fines tripled or quadrupled, depending on what they feel like.
He has that sold my soul look about him.
