p>During a segment on Sean Hannity television program, DHS Secretary Kirsti Noem was asked for an update on her investigations into leaks of border patrol and ICE raids. Secretary Noem had previously said she would exhaust all available resources to “hunt down” those who leak to the media and put the lives of DHS personnel at risk.
Within the update, Noem outlines how she has located several leakers and is using polygraph machines to ferret out those within her silo operation who are trying to undermine her objective. WATCH:
This is what it looks like when you genuinely want to get to the bottom of things and are serious about getting the job done.
The White House Plumbers, sometimes simply called the Plumbers, the Room 16 Project, ODESSA or more officially, the White House Special Investigations Unit, was a covert White House Special Investigations Unit, established within a week of the publication of the Pentagon Papers in June 1971, during the presidency of Richard Nixon. Its task was to stop and/or respond to the leaking of classified information, such as the Pentagon Papers, to the news media. The work of the unit “tapered off” after the bungled “Ellsberg break-in” but some of its former operatives branched into illegal activities while still employed at the White House together with managers of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President, including the Watergate break-in and the ensuing Watergate scandal. The group has been described as Nixon’s “fixers”.
Too bad polygraph is not that reliable.
So many of our citizens and bureaucrats lie so easily they will pass every time.
There is a word for that, I just do not remember it at the moment.
I once sued a law student. She lied like a rug in court, when I challenged her continual fabrications she volunteered to take a lie detector test.
Judge was smart enough to see through her BS.
Do not over rely on machines, do the real interviews too.
As I recall Poly is NOT admissible in court.
I believe I remember Bibi Netanyahu in an interview years and years ago saying that Arabs can’t be detected lying with polygraph tests because they don’t feel cognitive dissonance when they lie. It’s perfectly acceptable to them to lie to outsiders, so they feel no guilt or stress about it.
“There is a word for that, I just do not remember it at the moment.”
Maybe “sociopath”? I’ve heard that sociopaths can pass polygraphs pretty easily.
It takes training to beat the box, and these people don’t have it. Plus they’re facing loss of pension and benefits, so the “tell me what you know and maybe I can help you” approach will be effective. As Noem says, they get real interested in ratting out their pals if they think it will save their own skin.
The polygraph just shows stress. It doesnt show you’re lying. It shows you are bothered by something. It can be because you are lying, it can be because you are offended by the question,...
Its actually more a psychological ploy. I know what they do to get results.
Good polygraph examiners can tell when someone is regulating themselves.
BTTT
>> This is what it looks like when you genuinely want to get to the bottom of things and are serious about getting the job done.
It’s looking more and more like the Pareto Principle governs FedGov bureaucracy.
20% of the employees do 80% of the work and are basically normals, and the rest are various flavors and degrees of crap on a stick that need to be eliminated. So FedGov is about five times larger than it should be.
Good on PDJT and his sober-minded hard-working deputies!
Pathological liar?
LOL! I actually think that’s true when it comes to polygraphs. Not sure, but probably.
“It’s perfectly acceptable to them to lie to outsiders, so they feel no guilt or stress about it.”
Which is why they are waterboarded.
I’ve said this before.
The entire Ellsberg break in was to investigate if he was going to leak nuclear weapon secrets to the Russians.
He worked in the Los Alamos lab and internal security check indicated a high probability.
This is how you clamp down and fire all the bums n freaks n mutants hired during the Uboma-Biden 12 years..... This will herald a return to normal and decent. A rejection of the left-slanted chaos in USG agencies. That the Dems/Deep Staters live by and love so much/
Left-slanted chaos in USG agencies-—>>> Is also the same M.O. how you heist tens of Billions of taxpayers money, to send off to Lefty and Gender-centric NGOs. Via NGOs is how Democrats/ GenderCrats/ KleptoCrats/ Commies/ Socialists get paid high no-show salaries. Yeah they shirk from home too.
That should make some nervous enough to think twice....
Yes, I think that is it.
<>Too bad polygraph is not that reliable.<>
According to Dan Bongino, who advocated on air that a polygraph in the hands of a skilled operator can handily cut to the truth, encouraged its use on the top cretins at the FBI and Secret Service.
Legally submissible? Nope. Trials are not necessary to rid the bureau of traitors.
