Nicolle Wallace: FBI in 'total meltdown mode' over Epstein files, giving agents polygraph tests



New York Times National Security Reporter Adam Goldman and former Assistant Special Agent in Charge at the FBI, Michael Feinberg join Nicolle Wallace to discuss bombshell new reporting that the FBI is giving its own agents polygraph tests to see if they are loyal to Director Kash Patel, Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and the Trump administration - a clear escalation in the dismantling of institutions.

Toward the end of the show, Nicole said something for us all to think about: the fact that they are obsessed with themselves and investigating press leaks ad infinitum means they are not doing the job of the FBI. It means we are unprotected. We might as well not even have an FBI.

As Nicole said, just because there has not been a major emergency need for the FBI doesn't mean there won't be. Left unprotected, it could be truly disastrous.

This is a fiasco, so cut to the chase. The FBI will release a fake report written by the White House, that’s what’s going to happen.

snake oil and only useful for tricking unknowledgeable suspects into confessing what they may otherwise not do.

One would think that FBI individuals being investigated would know that as well in addition to the several ways of deceiving polygraph testing.

Or, maybe it's all just theatre for gullible politicians and the cult.
