Yep
Indeed

Creating a climate of fear and harming national security.
Who knew that leaking national security info to the media was GOOD for national security?
“FBI, national security agencies using polygraphs for ‘leak’ hunts”
so what? nothing new here ... my understanding is that the CIA at one time (might still for all i know) REQUIRE random polygraphs a couple of times a year ... it’s a good idea ... polygraphs are voodoo science, but are great instruments for provoking guilt and panic in the guilty, at least the ones who aren’t sociopaths ...
...because they feeeeel they should be entitled to lie and leak with impunity.
Yes. I am someone who believes everything has a duality associated with it.
A hammer can be used to build a beautiful coffee table, or to bash someone’s brains in.
A polygraph in the hands of someone searching for truth can be a valuable tool.
But a polygraph in the hands of someone intending to use it for evil purposes, as Leftists often do for the illegal purposes you mention, to discriminate or punish inappropriately, is a terrible and disgusting thing.
I trust the polygraph as a tool in the hands of someone using it appropriately to enforce the law for good purposes as I fully expect is being done by Kash Patel and Dan Bongino.
I have zero trust in a polygraph test arranged and run by Christopher Wray, James Comey, or Andrew McCabe, as they have demonstrated they could not be trusted in a position of power.
If someone takes issue with my last two paragraphs, then they are drawing a moral equivalence between the likes of Comey and Patel (that is the ONLY conclusion I can come to) and that person’s opinion has no meaning to me, because they are unable to make that key distinction.
And it isn’t because Patel and Bongino are “my guys” on my side of the political fence.
It is because Patel and Bongino are not only on the side of right, they are on the side of the Constitution.
I am pretty sure this is nothing new and polygraphs have been in standard use for employees of the "intelligence community" since forever.
“ I am pretty sure this is nothing new and polygraphs have been in standard use for employees of the “intelligence community” since forever”
Many people who work in the intelligence agencies are professionally trained liars. If anyone can beat a polygraph test, it would be them.
Agreed completely
It isnt.like they are asking personal questions. I imagine it’s about a specific leak.
Sometime last year I remember Bongino on his show saying that extensive use of polygraphs in the intel community is essential to root out the traitors. Oh, and a guilty bastard is dead meat in the hands of a skilled polygraph operator.
I am sure Dan Bongino knows of what he speaks on this subject.
When he went back to work as the Deputy Director of the FBI, that just blew me away.
That is a historically great man. He would have been right at home with the Founders of this nation.
Bongino has pledged his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor to do his part to save this country.
I have great confidence in Trump’s chain of command: Bondi, Kash and Bongino.
I wanted justice for the Deep State criminals but I’ll settle for revenge.
I couldn’t agree with you more on everything you said.
It is sedition, sedition in furtherance of an insurrection.
At a minimum, this insurrection began with Crossfire Hurricane.
Frankly I saw Algore’s challenge to the 2000 election to be an attempted coup, by the Democrats, on the U.S. government.
They just hadn’t planned it out very well at that time.
Right on, FRiend.
Right on.
