A new report from the Wall Street Journal shows that Hegseth is starting to see elusive leakers in his nightmares. According to the outlet, Hegseth threatened top officials with lie-detector tests to root out media sources on recent embarrassing stories.
More absolute stupidity from Peter Hegseth. polygraphs don’t really mean much and they’re not even admissible in a courtroom.
it’ll be like the scene in The Wire where they use a photocopier that prints “True” or “False” on a piece of paper
They are an intimidation tool so it seems he is using it appropriately
Why can’t this public servant, a secretary, just do his job properly.
The problem is in the job title: secretary. The implication is that the incumbent is thus “able to keep a secret” or at rather, keep their mouth shut.
This idiot can’t keep his mouth shut to save his life.
The only time his mouth is otherwise occupied is when Trump’s Bump of a Lump is in it.
“The extraordinary thing is that lie detector tests are being threatened not to uncover potential anti-President Trump civil servants but to catch political appointees suspected of leaking classified or sensitive information,” a source in defense told the paper.
Sorry what? How is that extraordinary? The opposite, which seems like the sources preferred suggestion, seems way worse?! Loyalty tests are not justified by anything, leaking classified information could at least be a crime providing some justification.
Well, we do know of several political appointees who leaked classified information. Didn’t even need a polygraph; they just told a journalist.
Leaking classified information should not be a crime because the government should not be allowed to keep secrets from the sole source of its power.
Install a mirror in his office. He’ll find the leaker right away.
Either that or he’ll get shitfaced and try to fight himself.
“Who the fffuch’re yoo, Bro?! Thish ish MY fucheen offish, BRO!”
Waiting for the supposed ‘deep state/illuminati’ to ‘take care’ of this guy.
chronic alcoholism does cause paranoia.
Also possibly leaking. Pun intended.
Hegseth is starting to see elusive leakers in his nightmares.
Best news I’ve heard all week. I hope this guy also dreams his teeth are falling out.
Teeth falling out is a vanity dream, common among people who worry a LOT about their looks. Actors, models, government officials who need a makeup studio at the Pentagon, etc.
Or having braces. Everyone I know who got them had that dream at least once : you dream you finaly get to remove them and the second you do so your teeth start falling out.
What if they turn into Legos after they fall out of your mouth and you build an impossible replica of the Taj Mahal out of them?
I’ve always wanted to see the Taj Molar.
Whiskeyleaks
Maybe if this fuckin’ idiot would stop using unsecured communication systems, he’d have a bit more privacy.
You can’t fix stupid.
“Who’s leaking all the signal chats?!” Asked Hegseth, in a hotdog costume
It’s not the staff’s fault if you’re a leaky ass.
Petey, the reason why people are leaking everything is cause the administration that you work in is a complete an utter fucking clown show.
People want to talk about the dumpster fire on rails. The mainstream media is loving this the slow, moving horror show as everyone wants to tune in.

Polygraphs known for being fool proof with no methods to fool that the military would have complete awareness off.
I mean the military doesn’t train you on how to cheat a polygraph, but it’s also not really necessary. The polygraph is security theater and people slip by it all the time in the intelligence community without trying.
There are unclassified quarterly audits on how effective the polygraph is at catching criminals on DOD security clearance polys. The funniest audit I saw was a guy who was smuggling drugs to Texas from Mexico since the '80s, passed a dozen polygraphs during his time doing that, and then admitted to drug running during his polygraph like 35 years later because he felt like it before retiring.
There was an old beardy white fuck who was a polygraph examiner at my job. He swore the polygraph wasn’t security theater and that it could tell when people were lying. I’d always ask him about the quarterly audits showing people “beating” the machine for years and get into fights with him. That dude also said his job was like “welfare for white people”.
Modern witch tests, same bullshit.
They’re not even good at detecting lies. They detect nervousness. Truth can make people nervous.
Being accused of a lie can make you nervous too
Bro I’ll be nervous if the interrogator is hot.

Right? The group he’s threatening is likely to have plenty who can pass with flying colors.
Just clench your sphincter every time you answer truthfully. It’ll be false negatives, all the way down.
Lmao
Talks in his sleep during his naps.
