sounds to me like a certain senior advisor needs to be investigate/polygraphed
I was a Dept. of Energy contractor. Everyone with a clearance was available for a polygraph. If called, show up or be fired.
For higher clearances you Would be polygraphed and get a psychological review, again if called up, show up or be fired.
Grow up dumb-a$$e$
More like a lesson on how the deep state will stop investigations into leaks.
Years ago, DoD did use them as ONE screening tool for employment.
There are pathological liars out there that can easily pass a lie detector test. There’s a reason why they’re inadmissible in court

. Best argument in favor of gitmo and waterboarding I’ve heard yet
He has to change the DoD Order and the DoD Instruction.
Get rid of this bullshit signed by Klapper:
“Polygraph and PCASS examinations require the consent of the examinee.”

I have mixed feelings about this.
There’s a reason why polygraphs aren’t admissible in court. Under test conditions, polygraph examiners have been unable to detect someone lying about his birthday, city of birth, names of children, etc. The Soviet Union trained its agents to pass polygraphs without much trouble, e.g. Aldrich Ames. There’s issues with unscrupulous examiners determining deception because they believe it pleases their employer, or simply to show how “tough” they are.
Still, the SecDef needs to get to the bottom of leaks. They endanger the national security. Polygraphs are a fact of life in most police departments and intelligence agencies.
I need more information.
That is very true.
Is this like all those Biden administration folks who are guilty of a coverup when subpoenaed by Congress pleading the fifth? Only worried about a lie detector test uncovering lies.
