If Attorney General Jeff Sessions has his way, National Security Council staffers will undergo lie detector tests to find White House leakers. The Trump administration has been plagued by a series of leaks, ranging from transcripts of calls between President Trump and foreign leaders to reports of palace intrigue from top White House officials.
Axios reports:
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has told associates he wants to put the entire National Security Council staff through a lie detector test to root out leakers. It’s unclear whether this will ever happen, but Sessions floated the idea to multiple people, as recently as last month.
Sessions’ idea is to do a one-time, one-issue, polygraph test of everyone on the NSC staff. Interrogators would sit down with every single NSC staffer (there’s more than 100 of them), and ask them, individually, what they know about the leaks of transcripts of the president’s phone calls with foreign leaders. Sessions suspects those leaks came from within the NSC, and thinks that a polygraph test — at the very least — would scare them out of leaking again.
Sessions has told associates he likes the idea of targeting the foreign leader phone calls because there’s a small enough universe of people who would have had access to these transcripts. Also, the idea that the President of the United States can’t have private conversations with foreign leaders was a bridge too far, even for Democrats.
Ian Prior, a spokesman for Sessions, declined comment when presented with the details of this report.

Comey wouldn’t have submitted, recall his getting miffed when he was asked if he’d be loyal.
Does he know those tests are easy to cheat
If they don't he can say "Your Fired" to all of them.
A man as educated, intelligent, and experienced as Sessions knows polygraphs are fake.
Probably a good idea, but it simply won’t happen. Lackacojonies!!
Dear Jeff, don’t you think Hillary’s about due for a test too?
The first one to refuse is a Leaker at Large. Jsisl him,her.it.
“Alive”, yes, but just barely.
Most people today say that lie detector tests are not very reliable and are easy for the tested to manipulate in order to product specific results.
If Sessions had proposed using Lie Detector Tests maybe 30 years ago, I would have been excited, because they still had high credibility back then. Key phrase being “BACK THEN”.
Couldn’t Chris Cristie be forgiven his political ‘sins’ and given this job?
Sessions appears to be a Man Out of Time.
How would u suggest we root them out?
No. Hell no!
Check ‘em for dope smoking too.
This chicken shit wants to have lie detector tests for these people but won’t go after Lois Lerner, the IRS, or Hillary?

“He’s alive!!!”
