  18. 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.

  23. #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. 🤐

  24. - Why is this polygraph commonly referred to as a "fear detector" rather than a "lie detector"? 🧵

  31. 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.

  36. 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.

  41. 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.
