“There are reasons why individuals were not required to take #polygraphs before. And I would question why now the #polygraph, & an overbroad #NDA is being required other than to #intimidate the workforce & ensure tighter #control,” Zaid added.
…The proposed NDA prohibits personnel from providing any info that is not public “without approval or through a defined process,” which aligns w/language the #DOD is currently requiring #reporters to sign to maintain their #Pentagon #press credentials.
When you’ve got something to hide…
#Pentagon plans widespread random #polygraphs, #NDAs to stanch #leaks

Kash Patel & other Trump thugs rely on ever unreliable #polygraphs to track down, fire "#leakers."
As Russian spy Aldrich Ames, who fooled CIA polygraphs 10+x, said the most imp thing for passing a polygraph is that you seem calm, confident & the person testing you likes you.
The obverse would result in failure.
And we know how bloody minded MAGA is: if they want you to be guilty, then you are no matter what.
