Pompeo, who accuses lawmakers who want answers of bullying, had fits of "anger" while at CIA, former Sr intelligence officials say. Often, an official said, it would happen if analysis didn't match the political theme of the day. Lots of slammed phones + demands for polygraphs.

I cannot recall any previous reports of a CIA director personally demanding that anyone be polygraphed. If any readers have information about such instances (whether generally involving CIA directors or Mike Pompeo specifically), I would be interested to know more about that.
