Pentagon gives polygraph tests to Joint Staff in leak probe
Trump, Wednesday: "For the treasonous SCUM that refuses to accurately report on our Military Operation in Iran, we have virtually unlimited amounts of Mid to High Grade Ammunition," NYT, today: Trump has polygraphed 50 to find out who told you Trump is lying. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/u...
Note that there is no documented instance of a polygraph dragnet ever actually solving a federal leak investigation.
I find it strange that the story never mentions that polygraphs don't work. It seems relevant that what they're doing will not actually uncover the truth.
The polygraphs are less a way to establish the truth than a warning about the cost of revealing it. That chills the very people who might correct a propaganda claim.
I mean, Trump says they have unlimited amounts of high grade ammunition, which would be a lie each and every time any leader in the world said it.
Bahahaha. This idiot administration is crumbling from within.
He's gone full-on Stalin at this point.

Major Leak, he's over in personnel.
Ominous but not surprising. The funny thing is the news reinforces the fact thst Hegseth is in deep trouble. He can Death Of Stalin his way to being the worst SecDef in American history.
Testosterone for brains: - missile purchases and production rates are public knowledge, - high USN SM2/SM6 expenditure was noted in late 2025, - by March 2026 it was known more Patriots had been fired in the first week of the Iran war than in the 4 years of the Ukraine war.
Sucks to be wholly owned by a psychotic, tyrannical regime.
Doesn’t seem to have worked.
What a terrible place to work. If you don’t vote right, if you don’t speak right, if you don’t think right, if you don’t pray right, if your not the right race, if your not the right gender and if you don’t praise the dear leader right you’re toast. Fascist are always hunting those lacking loyalty.
