The #FBI is reportedly subjecting its employees to #polygraph tests to determine if they’re loyal to Director Kash Patel. Shall we count the ways this is stupid?

(1) Polygraph tests are, scientifically speaking, hokum. They’re not admissible in court, and the FBI probably shouldn’t use them for anything

Me:

Been saying this for years - decades even. Why polygraphs are still used at all is beyond me. To intimidate? Scare ppl into confessing?

Anyway, read on:

The use of the #polygraph, & the nature of the questioning, is part of the FBI’s broader crackdown on news #leaks, reflecting, to a degree, #KashPatel’s acute awareness of how he is publicly portrayed. The moves, fmr bureau ofcls say, are politically charged & highly inappropriate, underscoring what they describe as an alarming quest for fealty at the #FBI, where there is little tolerance for #dissent. Disparaging Patel or his deputy, #DanBongino, fmr ofcls say, could cost people their job.

Continued thread

In interviews & #polygraph tests, the #FBI has asked senior employees whether they have said anything negative about #KashPatel…. In one instance, ofcls were forced to take a polygraph as the agency sought to determine who disclosed to the news media that Patel had demanded a service #weapon, an unusual request given that he is not an agent. The number of ofcls asked to take a polygraph is in the dozens, though it is unclear how many have specifically been asked about Patel.

Continued thread

Typically, the #FBI has turned to #polygraph tests to sniff out employees who might have betrayed their country or shown they cannot be trusted with #StateSecrets.

Since #KashPatel took office as the director of the FBI, the bureau has significantly stepped up the use of the lie-detector test, at times subjecting personnel to a question as specific as whether they have cast aspersions on Patel himself.

#Trump officials are using #polygraph tests to flush out even minor #leaks

Reuters spoke to nine current and former federal government employees under the current administration who described a concerted effort to expose leaks of all kinds.

The investigations have a dual purpose - plugging leaks while also purging federal employees considered #disloyal to Trump's political agenda, four of the government employees said.
