Report: Trump Fixated On Idea Of Making WH Staffers Take Lie Detector Tests

President Donald Trump is reportedly obsessed with the idea of making his own White House aides take polygraph tests in order to root out leakers.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1254522

"I have been with the President since July 2015 and can say unequivocally that I have never heard suggesting polygraphs as a way to stop leaks,” she said.

Willing to say that during a polygraph?

As long as Trump goes first!

I’m betting that MYTHOMANIAC + LIAR-In-Chief will NOT pass unless he abuses his power again and intimidate the lie detector tester!

The lie detector result has a high probability of looking like his signature…all ragged due to the 12+k lies he has told!

Seriously, there’s a wealth of cartoons on the subject of tRump and lie detectors. Is it any wonder? He’s been obsessed with lie detectors since forever.

Only someone as guilty as him and lies as much as he does, has something to hide.

Yes, of course Trump will take his lie detector test on national TV. Hannity and Carlson can ask him questions.

The real problem I see is that the honest people are the ones who are leaking all the bad things going on in the administration, while the liars are the ones running the show. All this will do is leave us with a bunch of liars like Grisham…which is probably the point.

And forcing lie detector tests is a short step away from forcing loyalty tests on all government employees so that Trump and the Republicans can have their little dictatorship.

Why not truth serum, it’s quicker and more reliable?

Or they could just hold a gun to the head of the spouse / child of the staffer?
