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.
There is a

in the hospital
This is crazy. The FBI was already a heavily conservative organization and now he’s dragging it into MAGA-only.
A stress detector mislabled as a lie detector. Fuck right off…
The fall of the US Empire on full display.
This guy is a bigger pansy than trump. Anyone that paranoid is an evil coward
Ah yes, because those are totally a real and trustworthy technology and not some snake oil bullshit that is inadmissible in court because of how snake oil bullshit it is.
Anyway, that tracks.
inadmissible in court
The judicial coup is out of control /s
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.
None dare call it FASCISM.
don’t they know that polygraphs don’t actually work? it’s taught in psych 101 ffs
They work, but only 50% of the time…
Polygraphs have wires and knobs though, so that makes them scientific, high-tech and modern - otherwise the only way to do their witch hubt would be dunking agents in a pond or stripping them naked and looking for satan’s birthmarks…
What else floats on water?
A church ?
So if they weigh the same as a church…
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.
Is the FBI really so full of abject cowards that they’re all just rolling over and taking this? The US is so boned.
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He’s been replaced by ai 100%
He has that sold my soul look about him.
Now do him
Has the search for his neck begun?
Every photo of this looks like he just mistrusted a fart
He looks like he’s just as surprised as everyone else that he’s actually in charge of the FBI… It’s imposter syndrome, but the dude is an actual imposter.
