Every time I write about how I don’t believe Christine Blasey Ford, someone screams “BUT THE LIEEEE DETECTORRRRR!”
OK.
First off, as my criminal defense attorney boyfriend explained to me, lie detector tests are seldom if EVER admissible in court.
Why?
Because they’re wildly unreliable.
SECOND – we now have more info on that supposed test and no – just no.
According to her attorneys, she gave answers “not indicative of deception” and wound up passing the test with “unremarkable” scores https://t.co/IHIaQdbDJd

Ok – so she sort of passed it.
Wanna know what she passed?
TWO QUESTIONS.
Jerry Hanafin, the former FBI agent who administered Christine Blasey Ford’s polygraph test, describes that session on @foxnewsnight. https://t.co/WsBP6nJ8Vt pic.twitter.com/gDF0RAbVFb

TWO FREAKING QUESTIONS.
Only 2 questions asked during Polygraph
* Prof Ford gives statement of events
Then:
1. Is your statement true?
2. Is any part of your statement false?Is this typical in a Polygraph??????????? https://t.co/PSb8qCM5jP

Notice what the actual statement WAS didn’t come up.
Polygraphs work by detecting how agitated you get. How agitated could you POSSIBLY get with those two questions?
Heaven forbid we ask a lot of questions and ‘pry’ while conducting a polygraph test.
“You don’t give polygraph tests to victims, you represent victims, you believe them unless you have some corroborating evidence you don’t believe.”
Um. That’s why u ask questions in the test.

So WTF is even the point of the test?
There is none. This was all for show.
So is this normal?
No… No, it’s not.
Of all the polygraphs I had over 25 years I wish I only had 2 questions it was more like 15 to 20 and there was always one question that I had not heard before as a control question

My TSI had 35 questions and one was a question that was a trap question. I suppose a control type question. I went through this 6 times during my Army career.

NOTE: these guys later explain they’ve had to take lie detectors for security clearances.
So yeeeeah…. basically she was given a test she was sure to pass.
This is pathetic.
