As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I do not have time to do an in depth analysis of Christine Blasey Ford's "polygraph", but that was NOT an FBI or law enforcement polygraph test. It was not a polygraph test at all.
A polygraph test is a series of questions, which are begun with marker questions, such as a known lie and a known fact. This produces the results in various body function readings as blood pressure and heart rate to read the person's reactions in lying or telling the truth.
There are ways to beat a poly which are utilized in placing a sharp object in the shoe and pressing it on questions to produce false reads, and if someone under therapy as Christine Blasey Ford is on medications, they can produce like results.
What was released as a poly test was a statement and the two questions about that long statement. That is not what a polygraph test is designed for, because after a long statement the mind wanders, and as prepared as this noted professional is on psychological maters is, she could have been thinking about a job application and answering about that.
The exam was administered by a former FBI agent on Aug. 7 at a Hilton Hotel in Maryland, according to Ford’s lawyers.
It included two questions and an interview pertaining to the alleged assault.
“Is any part of your statement false?” read the first question, to which Ford answered “no.”
“Did you make up any part of your statement?” the second said, prompting another “no.”
According to her attorneys, Ford gave answers “not indicative of deception” and wound up passing the test with “unremarkable” scores.
I really would like to hear David John Oates in Reverse Speech going through all of this on Kavanaugh and Ford, and these Senators, as this is so bogus in what is presented as evidence that it would never hold up in court.
Nuff Said.
