Spineless Pence is all in. Let’s do this thing!
Pence says during a taped “Fox News Sunday” interview: “I would agree to take it in a heartbeat and would submit to any review the administration wanted to do.”
Well this whole thing just went down the rabbit hole. These are the leaders of our country!

They don’t have any right to keep their work communications private.
They have no constitutional right to privacy when it comes to any communications they have made that are work related. And if you wanted to go deeper, it also would not be unconstitutional to say demand access to their private accounts or their resignation. Their choice.
Polygraphs are totally unreliable.
How can a sitting senator be so gullible.
oh well thats on the people of Kentucky.

Are their phones issued by the white house?
Lol.
‘Conservatives’ who don’t trust the government cheering on the government prying into the personal lives of citizens just because their orange lord and savior had his feelings hurt.

No, they are not totally unreliable. The courts have ruled them inadmissible because they are not totally reliable, not the same thing. Looking at the available studies it looks to me like their accuracy is somewhere between 80 and 96 percent.
So not good enough to warrant a conviction, which requires no reasonable doubt, but sufficient for a firing or security clearance denial which does not require such a high standard.
Not citizens, employee’s. Your work related communications belong to your employer, not you.
Demanding access to private accounts would be amazing.
I support this 100% for every appointed official in the Trump administration.
It doesn’t get more paranoid than that.
Indeed. But be careful not to over stretch the definition of “work related”.
It is not an uncommon practice in the private sector these days. Are the businesses who do it, super paranoid?
Of course.
Are you advocating searching all their electric correspondences - like, for example, texts from their personal phones - or just their work related electronic communications?
It seems highly unlikely that someone planning to write an op-ed like the one that is prompting these calls for polygraph tests would correspond with the NYT via their White House account…
Can you provide a source that says any employer has demanded access to all private email accounts?
…and at the same time pray to God that Trump’s dirty isn’t uncovered.
This is exactly why the article was written by Brennan. He learned from his agency work how to use psyops to create paranoia and mistrust.
Trump definitely doesn’t create paranoia or mistrust.
The other posters statement is exactly the kind of paranoia and mistrust Trump has engendered in his supporters.

from Employee Privacy-What Can Employers Monitor? | HR Examiner
In Sitton v. Print Direction, Inc. (Georgia, September 2011), an employer did not violate an employee’s privacy rights by accessing an employee’s personal laptop to print out personal email messages. The employee had been using his personal laptop at work to help his wife run their printing business. The boss came into the employee’s office and saw the computer screen that had a non-work email open. Both the trial court and the court of appeal found that the employer had a legitimate interest in investigating whether or not the employee was running another business from the employer’s worksite on the employer’s time and found that printing out the emails was proper. The employee had to pay the employer damages for breach of the duty of loyalty.
Not even close to what is being suggested. That was a person with their laptop open and in use at their place of employment.
You said it’s not uncommon to demand passwords to email accounts. That’s not what happened in this case.
I’ve heard of demanding social media account passwords but a lot of states are now making that illegal.
I’ve never heard of demanding all email passwords.
