Are these the ones where Noem larps in a tactical uniform and jumps in front of a camera?

 

[struth]

God forbid the public learns what the government is doing

I’m thrilled we have learned the trump admin is working to stop traitorous leskers that are undermining our republic

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

And lawyers are lining up.

For what?

No, it's the opposite. Shit's getting DONE.

You mean the ones where reporters were surprised to see her and had no knowledge that she was even there?

The Department of Homeland Security has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to determine who might be leaking information to the media about immigration operations, according to four sources familiar with the practice. The department’s plans to perform these tests was first reported by Bloomberg Government.

A spokesperson for DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Border czar Tom Homan and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have blamed lower-than-expected ICE arrest numbers on recent leaks revealing the cities where it planned to conduct operations.

In a video posted on X Friday, Noem said, “We have identified two leakers of information here at the Department of Homeland Security who have been telling individuals about our operations and putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy. We plan to prosecute these two individuals and hold them accountable for what they’ve done.”

LOL.....This might turn into trying to find any employees who don't leak.

While I know that polys are BS, I support them being used as a tool to track down leakers. Not so much because they will catch the culprit in a lie, but because somebody they work with will probably say "you should check out so and so because of x,y,z".

Polys are pretty inaccurate...

It is psuedo science... People want them to work, understandably but they are not to be trusted.
Even their avocates say they are 80% - 90% accurate...

IF you want to do a poly on Someone, do it on Tom Homan and Kristi Noem and ask them,

• Do you have proof of ICE members leaking information?
• Have you released this information as political cover?

Getting busted, and it's no surprise that the fellow travelers immediately say, "not true".....lol...

You are a classical idiot. Polygraphs only serve as the starting point for an investigation. Failing the test means they need to look at your activities and communications to find the smoking gun. If you are innocent, you should have no fear.

Evidently it isn't. Are they still behind Biden's numbers?

 

[Cellblock2429]

They should use phrenology; it is just as affective as a lie detector.

/---/ Or break them on the wheel.

 

[CowboyTed]

So you support the cuts from all the waste, fraud and abuse being exposed.

You will be full fledged MAGA in no time.

The only fraud we seen since DOGE started is this...

Trump's DOGE pulls down 'disposal' list that included Tucson Federal Building, 443 other properties • Arizona Mirror

The federal building in Downtown Tucson may soon be up for sale, with the General Services Administration — headed by associates of Elon Musk — listing hundreds of government buildings across the country for "disposal" on Tuesday

Struggling With Errors, DOGE Deletes Billions More From List of Savings

For the second time in a week, Elon Musk’s government overhaul effort updated its “wall of receipts” to remove mistakes that inflated its success.

DOGE is the fraud... Even Trump copped that end of last week.... He may have a lot of money but he knows fuck all about government.
As for waste... DOGE has proclaimed a lot but we are talking about guys who didn't know the difference between $8 Million and $8 Billion.
We need thoese guys back...

Trump purges at least a dozen inspectors general overnight

Democrats described Trump's late-night firing of the federal agency inspectors general as an 'attack on Democracy'.

www.bbc.com

DOGE have really just shown us in 6 weeks that running tthe Government is hard and best left to experts... In fairness that is good work for only 6 weeks effort..

 

[CowboyTed]

They are talking about leaks on active operations, even if the press gets it, it puts agents at risk.

We have no actual proof yet....

We have two of the biggest spoofers in Trump admin trying to blame their shit performance on 2 anonymous people...
At what point do you stop being so gullible?

 

[CowboyTed]

And how about the standards of the press? Working against Americans with their platforms…shameful.

I know, some in the press are actually asking for evidence and proof....
And you think that is anti-American...

You wouldn't accept anything as proof anyway.

What you want is dead ICE agents.

 

[Mac-7]

Move those goal posts

We are talking about leaks to the press

I believe reporters can be compelled to reveal their source

 

[CowboyTed]

We can do both....Not "go after" per se, but make sure they are outed.

There are whistleblower protections...

Whistleblower Protections

www.dol.gov

What is retaliation?​

Retaliation occurs when an employer (through a manager, supervisor, or administrator) fires an employee or takes any other type of adverse action against an employee for engaging in protected activity.

An adverse action is an action which would dissuade a reasonable employee from raising a concern about a possible violation or engaging in other related protected activity. Retaliation can have a negative impact on overall employee morale.
------

So I presume plastering their name on right wing media would be under a violation.

So if they name anyone from the lie detector, whistleblowers can say what they like in relation while protected.. Good Luck trying to fired a Whistleblower, best way to be protected

Obama used to lock them up trying to get their sources.

Leaking operational details to targets of a raid isn't whistleblowing, moron.

 

[CowboyTed]

You wouldn't accept anything as proof anyway.

Your typical answer, you won't even defend your actions because you accuse other of crimes...

You don't have a defence, you can't have a discussion..

Just accuse anyone you can't make a point of a crime, the worse the crime the better...

 

[CowboyTed]

Leaking operational details to targets of a raid isn't whistleblowing, moron.

But defending people who were coerced into taking lie detectors is...

MORON!!!
Ever think of discussing things like a human being....
Why have all the MAGA here have to insult everyone that disagrees with them...
Are you that insecure? Would you say that in a bar?
If you did you would be asked to leave.
