Trump ‘Wanted to Polygraph’ Every White House Employee After Major Leaks -- Reports
[SPUTNIKNEWS] Over the past couple of weeks, US President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
has repeatedly called for the whistleblower who filed a complaint about his phone call with Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to be identified. The move was followed by the Democrats initiating an impeachment inquiry against Trump.

Donald Trump "constantly" talks about ordering lie-detector tests of White House staffers after major leaks related to the US President, four former unnamed White House officials were quoted by Politico as saying.

"He talked about it a lot," one official claimed, adding that after reading and watching reports about his presidency "he’d be angry and ask, ’Why can’t we stop these things?’"

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

#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.

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