Kash Patel is using polygraph test to find FBI leakers — NYT is (definitely) not pleased.

No, the point that MacDoogle is trying to make here is that he and the far left actually honor sneaks, snitches, saboteurs and spies. They love a good whistleblower, double agent, or traitor. They welcome any opportunity to act against their own country you see, because they don't believe America is their country. That is why he gets an erection just thinking about how Joint Chief Milley went behind his own commander's back to the Chinese and told them he had their backs if Trump went to war against them.

Didn't Milley get one of those auto-signed pardons from Diaper Joe, too?

There is a reason we have whistle blower protection laws ya know

Polygraphs are unscientific mumbo-jumbo, hence why you can’t use the results in court.

That sounds like the excuse given by crooked lawyers-politicians.

 

[toobfreak]

People who know science.

I know science.

More seriously, the polygraph keys off of biological responses, problem is that those responses follow a bell curve. Because of that, while the polygraph can be calibrated to accurately read /most/ people, there are a percentage at either end who for one reason or other, their biologic responses don't follow the norm, and/or the person has some wilful influence over controlling them.

So the polygraph carries legal weight in circumstantially implicating someone, especially if corroborated 1-2 other ways, but not as absolute proof of anything in and of itself.

The polygraph does not circunstantially implicate anyone. If it’s mentioned, it’s grounds for mistrial or the dismissal of charges with prejudice.

"Unease at F.B.I. Intensifies as Patel Ousts Top Officials

Senior executives are being pushed out and the director, Kash Patel, is more freely using polygraph tests to tamp down
on news leaks about leadership decisions and behavior.


Before being confirmed as the director of the F.B.I., Kash Patel made clear his intent to remake it in his own image, reflecting a larger desire by the White House to bend the agency to its will.
“The F.B.I. has become so thoroughly compromised that it will remain a threat to the people unless drastic measures are taken,” he wrote in his book “Government Gangsters,” asserting that the top ranks of the bureau should be eliminated.

Behind the scenes, his vision of an F.B.I. under President Trump is quietly taking shape. Agents have been forced out. Others have been demoted or put on leave with no explanation. And in an effort to hunt down the sources of news leaks, Mr. Patel is forcing employees to take polygraph tests.

Taken together, the moves are causing worrisome upheaval at the F.B.I., eliciting fear and uncertainty as Mr. Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, quickly restock senior ranks with agents and turn the agency’s attention to immigration. Their persistent claims that the bureau was politicized under previous directors, in addition to their swift actions against colleagues, have left employees to wonder whether they, too, will be ousted, either because they worked on an investigation vilified by Trump supporters or had ties to the previous administration."

The NYT's panic is a good sign that the Deep State is getting gutted. Hopefully, grand juries are working behind the scenes investigating the DOJ/FBI's lawfare campaign against Biden's political opponents.

If The Slimes is against it, then it must be good for the Country

"Obama, Not Trump, Actually Made Staff Take Lie Detector Tests to Stop Leaks


The Obama administration forced some of its members to undergo lie detector tests and seized phone and email records between reporters and intelligence community members.

The Obama administration's director of national intelligence, James Clapper, announced in June 2012 that members of the CIA, FBI, National Security Agency and 13 other intelligence agencies would be subjected to more stringent polygraph tests. In response to a series of intelligence leaks at the time, Clapper said the question of whether a person had disclosed classified information to members of the media would be added to a lie detector test, The Hill reported.

Under the Obama administration, sources began talking to reporters through a middle-man so that they could pass polygraphs when asked if they talked with reporters, wrote former Washington Post executive editor Leonard Downie Jr. in a 2013 report for the Committee to Protect Journalists.

The Justice Department, headed by Eric Holder at the time, subpoenaed and seized the phone records for 20 AP phone lines used by more than 100 reporters. The department also subpoenaed and seized calls and emails between The Times reporters and government officials, a Fox News reporter and a State Department contractor, and two reporters and a former CIA officer, The Post reported.

Employees for government agencies were prosecuted for their leaks, like former FBI bomb technician Donald Sachtleben. He pleaded guilty in 2013 for "unlawfully disclosing national defense information relating to a disrupted terrorist plot" in Yemen the previous year. He reportedly leaked information to an Associated Press reporter, which was discovered after the reporter's phone records were obtained through a DOJ subpoena, the Post reported."

Previous Presidents have conducted lie detector tests on administration staff too.

[struth]

Never on court. Why do you suppose that is?

And oh by the way

The FBI has had issues but by and large it is the best intelligence service on the planet… or was until this bunch of freaks took it over

Actually they can be used in court

But anyway this isn’t about using them in court

As to your last point agreed a lot of people lost trust in the fbi after the Obama and Xiden admin and the corruption was exposed
