Another source argued that Trump "wanted to polygraph every employee in the building to unearth who it was who spoke to the press."

The first source insisted that Trump’s alleged obsession with ordering White House staffers to be polygraphed came amid numerous reports in the first six months of his presidency pertaining to "infighting and his behind-closed-doors raging about various news stories ‐ especially the Mueller investigation and the firing of former FBI Director JamesThe spine of the FBI is the rule of law Comey

#4  One should be part of the employment process to work in the White House anyway.

#2  Simply insist everyone sign a 'consent to no-notice poly and drug testing' as a condition of security clearance issuance, periodic re-investigation (PR), and employment. Discreetly test one or two and the word will get out. Voluntary resignations and request for re-assignment will be forthcoming.

Refusals should have their clearances suspended and be re-assigned to the off-site typing pool (F-Troop) pending transfer or discharge.
