America’s Federal Agency Under Fire? Lie Detector Tests Of FBI Agents Raise Questions About Loyalty And Politics In US | DNA Decodes | World News
One storm is allegedly brewed in the US’s most powerful investigation agency Federal Investigation Bureau (FBI). In an amazing development, several FBI officers reportedly subjected to polygraf tests, commonly known as lie detector tests under the direction of Kash Patel of US President Donald Trump. This is because it is reported to test their loyalty.
According to reports, lying machine tests are not limited to several people. Instead, their use in the agency has increased to a great extent in recent weeks. While the FBI traditionally uses polygraph tests only in cases of betrayal or national security leaks, the current situation indicates a sharp deviation. In today’s DNA, Zee News’s executive editor Rahul Sinha analyzed why America’s FBI agents were subjected to false detector tests:

Currently, "Have you talked against Kash Patel?" Sharp questions such as.
This change shows that the tests are not only used to confirm the facts, but to define officers who are not loyal to Patel or are not loyal to Trump through extension.
Once upon a time as the protector of American national security, the FBI filters the staff apparently based on political alignment.
Leaks trigger pressure
The polygraph directive comes after more than one internal leak after Patel's appointment:
1- Although he was not a sworn FBI agent, the details of Patel's request for service weapons were leaked to the media. This movement led to discussion and criticism.
2- Internal decisions, including personnel transfers, were also leaked and forced the internal confidence.
3- Donald Trump often claimed that the FBI was a part of a “deep state conspiracy üzerinden working against him.
In contrast, Patel seems to be sober and encouraging those who are aligned with Trump's vision. For this reason, loyalty tests seem to be a means of reshaping the agency to reflect this political agenda.
Domestic policy confidence
The politicization of America's best intelligence agency triggered the increasing concern. If civil servants are based on personal loyalty rather than national duty, FBI's image may be damaged as an impartial and professional agency. The use of intelligence organizations as political instruments can weaken public confidence and endanger democratic institutions.
Former FBI agent James Davidson expressed the concern: “Loyalty is not for the constitution, not for the principal.”
Wider effect on American democracy
This development comes at a time when the trust in US democracy is already shaky. The latest reports emphasize an increasing number of Americans who believe that democracy in the country no longer work.
Now, the Movement of Faithful Through false tests is seen as another blow to democratic norms in the United States.
The integrity of FBI, one of the most respected research organs in the world, has extensive effects. The events that arise are serious questions: Are the FBI transformed into a political vehicle? And what does this mean for the future of neutral law enforcement officers in America?
