#KashPatel Waived #Polygraph Screening for #DanBongino , Senior Staff — ProPublica
As the FBI’s deputy director, #Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief. His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau background check is unprecedented, insiders say.

@janhoglund #Hegseth is also using #polygraph tests within the #DoD to look for leakers. The failing Washington Post reported on this but did not mention that polygraphs are pseudoscientific, unreliable, and not admissible as evidence in US courts of law.
“There are reasons why individuals were not required to take #polygraphs before. And I would question why now the #polygraph, & an overbroad #NDA is being required other than to #intimidate the workforce & ensure tighter #control,” Zaid added.
…The proposed NDA prohibits personnel from providing any info that is not public “without approval or through a defined process,” which aligns w/language the #DOD is currently requiring #reporters to sign to maintain their #Pentagon #press credentials.
A separate document also from Feinberg would establish a program to randomly #polygraph those ofcls. The documents do not prescribe a limit on who would be subjected to these #NDAs & tests, suggesting it could include everyone from four-star generals to administrative assistants.
The efforts are part of a wider strategy by the #Trump admin & the #Pentagon to ferret out ofcls deemed insufficiently #loyal or who provide info to reporters.
#Trump's paranoid plans of polygraphing every federal agent & soldier for loyalty testing don't seem to be working out. Probably because so-called "lie detector" #polygraph machines are easily defeated with the 1 easy trick of shutting the fuck up. 🤐
- Why is this polygraph commonly referred to as a "fear detector" rather than a "lie detector"? #detector #polygraph #Ukraine 🧵

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.
#law
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.
#Trump #law #fascism
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.

Security Briefings to be like FOX in Order to Catch Trump’s Attention. Patel guts FBI, Polygraphs Agents , Female Agents Told to Find Different Job or Leave
In several government agencies - including the #DHS, the #DOJ & the #DoD - managers told employees they would have to undergo #LieDetector tests, or #polygraphs, after unclassified information was reported in the media, 6 government workers told Reuters.
#Polygraph results are rarely used as evidence in U.S. courts because of doubts surrounding their reliability.
#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.

He should be required to take one every day.
Though getting a baseline on him could be problematic.
