“You can’t con a con man/artist”  is sometimes used in political arguments. The cynical premise is that all politicians are con men (or women), so that one can’t easily con them. “You can’t con a con man” has been cited in print since at least the early 1960s.
 
A similar phrase is “You can’t BS a BSer”(“You can’t bullshit a bullshitter”).
