The FBI has devolved into chaos amid Director Kash Patel’s ongoing efforts to rid the agency of staff disloyal to the Trump administration.
Patel is now subjecting senior executives to polygraphs at a “rapid rate,” The New York Times reports, as part of a wider effort to stamp out embarrassing news leaks from within the agency.
One senior official told the Times in its exposé that he was forced out last month after being subjected to a lie detector test. He believes he was targeted because he hadn’t told Patel about his wife taking a knee during the 2020 protests against police brutality in Washington, D.C.
Ah yes, because those are totally a real and trustworthy technology and not some snake oil bullshit that is inadmissible in court because of how snake oil bullshit it is.
Anyway, that tracks.
You think the FBI under trump should be taken seriously? The government is an international laughing stock.
The FBI before Trump shouldn’t have been taken seriously when it was treating shit like BLM as dangerous while ignoring white power terrorist groups.
But it should be taken even less seriously now.
Yes.
Or cointelpro decades before that, probably the same thing honestly
I think we’re confusing “taking seriously” with “respecting”
The judicial coup is out of control /s
