Donald Trump is so paranoid about leaks coming from the White House that he continuously talks about wanting to have everyone who works in the building subjected to a polygraph (lie detector) test, former officials say.
As Politico reports, Donald Trump publically puts on a brave face when it comes to leaks coming from the White House. He suggests that the leakers are spies who deserve to be executed for treason. He refers to unflattering media accounts of his White House as “fake news.” He attacks reporters by name.
He fights. He isn’t supposed to do that. It gets the deplorables all riled up.
Yep I had to take a lie detector test to get a job at a department store.
This is fake news. He’d never be as stupid as to seriously consider that. I don’t buy it
Smart idea.
I got a job as a receptionist at an art gallery years ago and had to have a lie detector test as a condition of employment.
Reagan wanted the same.
Obama too.
Inquisitr publication. It’s trade name is “Psychopaths Voices”.
This is probably FakeNews, but I don’t see a problem with this... AT ALL.
But he’s still bringing them in. The obviously compromised Gowdy onto his legal team?
Bingo!
Stupid idea. Everyone in DC lies. The machine would go crazy if you just turned it on
If YOU don't discipline your child, a cop and a prison WILL.
WHY should the executive office have to put up with leaking what should be confidential.?
If you are in proximity to a conversation (f'rinstance), you have not necessarily been invited INTO it.
You have no right(s) to it.
Leaking it is theft and that's a crime.
If the public schools can (and believe me, they DO) utilize "intervention programs" allegedly to prevent an "at risk" kid from going bad (kind'a like gun control over everyone will prevent that ONE from being crazy) .............. then certainly the executive branch of our government should be able to trust people to have a moral core that protects the Presidential privacy.
Everyone who works in the Whitehouse should take an annual polygraph, except Melanie and Barron.
The claims made here are present tense, but the nameless sources are past tense... Wow!
Leaks?!
There’s freaking sedition.
What took him so long? Should have been done across the board before 1/31/17.
I’m sure the media will make a big deal about the “unprecedented” nature of such an order, while ignoring that some of us have to take them every five years and, in some assignments, a LOT more frequently...
Do not the FBI and Secret Service require regular polygraph tests as conditions of employment?? I see no problem with it from any perspective, either legal or moral.
