FBI Director Kash Patel ordered the polygraphing of more than two dozen former and current members of his security detail, as well as other staff, and has been described as being in panic mode to save his job and find leakers among his team, according to two people briefed on the development.
Patel walled himself off from some senior bureau leaders this week after multiple media reports raised red flags about his leadership, according to three people familiar with his recent actions. Two of the people told MS NOW that the director ordered the polygraphing this week of former and current security detail members, as well as several information technology staff.
The director has also avoided meeting this week with some key operational leaders of the bureau, the people said, raising concerns inside the FBI about Patel’s ability to stay abreast of pressing threats and investigations in order to make the best decisions.
Polygraphs don’t work, all they do is measure physiological changes
Yes but…This is an administration staffed entirely by people who know nothing about their jobs except what they’ve seen on TV and the movies. Zero doubt that Kash thinks it’s a magic lie detector.
i bet you could do a reverse of that scene in the wire where they’ve got a guy hooked up to a photocopier that is printing out the word “lie”
I bet they look at pictures on computer screens and demand “enhance!”.
