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.
“Who’s leaking all the signal chats?!” Asked Hegseth, in a hotdog costume
Polygraphs known for being fool proof with no methods to fool that the military would have complete awareness off.
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.

Just clench your sphincter every time you answer truthfully. It’ll be false negatives, all the way down.
More absolute stupidity from Peter Hegseth. polygraphs don’t really mean much and they’re not even admissible in a courtroom.
Next up, his top psychic will tell him what to do.
Eh… They do actually work for most people, unless they have been trained or take drugs to beat them. There is also a small portion of the population that will just throw false positives all over the place due to anxiety. Those are the reasons it’s not admissible in court. People take “not admissible in court” to mean polygraphs don’t work at all and are a pseudoscience, but really they work for like 95% of people.
They “work” in much the same way having a big dude standing over the questioner’s shoulder playing with a crowbar works, they sometimes make the person being interrogated nervous. That’s it. They’re about as accurate and well regarded as phrenology.
They are about as accurate as a coin toss
right thanks for reenforcing my point . Science matters.
Maybe if this fuckin’ idiot would stop using unsecured communication systems, he’d have a bit more privacy.
You can’t fix stupid.
chronic alcoholism does cause paranoia.
Why can’t this public servant, a secretary, just do his job properly.

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.
Whiskeyleaks
It’s not the staff’s fault if you’re a leaky ass.
You think he still had his glass of whisky in hand while he shouted that?
Glass, yes. Whisky, not any more.
Narcissistic individuals become paranoid when they can’t find a suitable excuse for their own failures. Because they can’t admit fault, they must always externalize the cause. Something is at fault but it can’t be them as avoiding fault is their most important article of psychological faith.
So, if their narcissistic coping skills are inadequate and can’t construct a believable excuse, given the circumstance, they can’t effectively point the finger. All that’s left is the pathological, egotistical desire to point the finger away from themselves and when they can’t point at anything specific? That manifests as paranoia. As they habitually dismiss their own fault, the only possibility is an unknown force that is attacking them by forcing them to experience being responsible for their own failures.
Trump and his entire administration is filled with these people. Their narcissism also makes them incompetent, so failures will continue to pile up, eventually threatening Trump himself. When Trump inevitably becomes paranoid, as there is nothing left to blame, he will use his authority to start attacking unrelated targets that he blames for his failures, hoping it will prevent the failures. But it won’t. It will accelerate his failures and eventually lead to the end of him. He already blames the media, the democrats, the scientists, the public, foreign nations etc. for the failures of his leadership.
All because his ego is so malformed that he can’t endure feeling responsibility for failures, while ironically seizing a position of immense responsibility, one he will inevitably fail at. His greatest failure will be his inability to endure failure.
Has Hegseth considered that he maybe leaked it himself during a drunken signal chat with a newspaper reporter?
LOL, polygraphs are worse than useless.
Waiting for the supposed ‘deep state/illuminati’ to ‘take care’ of this guy.
Lmao
