The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said on Monday it has started using polygraph tests to aid investigations aimed at identifying the source of leaks emanating from within the law enforcement agency.
“We can confirm the FBI has begun administering polygraph tests to identify the source of information leaks within the bureau,” the bureau’s public affairs office told Reuters in a statement.

Last week, the Republican US Department of Justice made it easier to subpoena records and testimony from journalists.
They’ll ignore the fact that it’s junk science and use it to remove people they dont like, want, or won’t fall in line.
