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.
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 crazy. The FBI was already a heavily conservative organization and now he’s dragging it into MAGA-only.

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He’s been replaced by ai 100%
Every photo of this looks like he just mistrusted a fart
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.
Ok I’m not going to entertain the idea that the actual FBI doesn’t know how polygraphs work and how effective they really are.
This is a clear excuse to just oust whomever they don’t like.
This guy is a bigger pansy than trump. Anyone that paranoid is an evil coward
Nothing like a moron running the FBI amright?
Now do him
<blink>fascism in progress</blink>
Fines tripled or quadrupled, depending on what they feel like.
