DOH!

My interest would be in what questions were asked and which ones did he fail?
What was the reason for the suspension of the senior staff?
Who ordered the suspension? Secretary Noem's DHS encompasses CISA
IANAL but is that something that a FOIA request could access?

Lastly, to gauge how much of Putin's governing style the current administration has already adopted let's ask the questions: Are all the suspended staff still accounted for? Is Madhu Gottumukkala, the Acting Director, still in charge while he fails a polygraph? This happened in July so did Kristi Noem shield her appointee instead of safeguarding national security?

Bonus question: Kash Patel waved a polygraph for Dan Bongino (soon to return to RWNJ podcasting) and a couple of other senior staff. Will he reinstate the requirement or just declare polygraphs unreliable and a waste of resources?
