Lindsey Graham On Kavanaugh Accuser’s Lie Detector Test: ‘Who Paid For It?’
The Daily Caller ^ | 09/18/2018 | Molly Prince

Posted on 09/19/2018 1:40:47 PM PDT by detective

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina questioned who financed the polygraph test that Christine Blasey Ford reportedly took to corroborate her allegations of sexual assault against Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

“If Ms. Ford really did not want to come forward, never intended to come forward, never planned to come forward, why did she pay for a polygraph in August?” Graham asked Monday on Fox News’s “Hannity.” “And why did she hire a lawyer in August if she never intended to do what she’s doing?”

“And who paid for it?” Graham continued.

A talking head polygraph expert on Fox last night is annoyed that the tests are referred to as “lie detectors”. They aren’t that at all. They basically don’t have anything to do with lying.

He listed so many things that can and do impact certain reactions. The way people react to questions may have nothing to do with truth or lies.

“Basically he’s saying lie detectors don’t work.”

I once failed a lie detector test when I was telling the truth.

Just being nervous can cause false readings. Don’t be naïve and take a lie detector just because you know you are innocent.

Never speak to the police without a lawyer and never take a lie detector test.

She is hoping that everybody believes her and that they don’t ask her to testify under oath, or to produce evidence. She knows there is none.
The democrats who paid her to lie figured that the public would buy it and she wouldn’t have to go any further.

The eyes are the window to the soul.

Why do all the pics of Ford show her with dark sunglasses?

Look at the eyes of her attorney Katz. Ever see more darkness in a soul?

This is all about satan preserving the right to kill babies.

I’m sure my fiercely Democratic neighbors believe Trump was helped by Russians.

If they were asked “Did the Russians help Donald Trump win?” and answered yes, a lie detector wouldn’t detect the falsehood.

I took a lie detector test when I worked for Radio Shack.

Someone (I suspected an employee) stole a receiver. When I discovered the theft, I called Loss Prevention.

They subjected me to a polygraph. Afterwards they wanted to know what I was hiding because I was “controlling my breathing.”

They proceeded to ask permission to search my car and my house. I would have to produce a receipt for any Radio Shack merchandise found. I owned stereo equipment I had purchase many years before and told them so. They said I better have a receipt or I would be fired.

I quit a few days later.

What questions were asked and who interpreted the results?

“What’s Your Name?” Ans: “Christine”

OK, you pass.

Victims who have been brain washed by recovered memory therapists, are deeply enmeshed in their false memories/delusions. FRMT patients are highly likely to pass lie detector tests, it proves nothing. What is illuminating is how as their story changes with further “uncovering” of the quack, sometimes very dramatically, they will continue to pass new lie detector tests if administered.

Dr. Elizabeth Loftus has done a great deal of research into this false recovered memory syndrome phenomenon if anyone is interested in finding out more about this.

Polygraph tests are worthless. Multiple studies have shown conclusively that they do not have an accuracy rating higher than what you would get by flipping a coin. This is why they are not admissible in any court of law.

I’m betting Graham already knows the answer.

I don’t even care if it were true. Who cares what slut he felt up and groped in high school? Which Senator didn’t try to feel up some girl in high school in a clumsy way? Even if what she said were true (doubtful) what law did Kavanaugh break?

This is all noise.

Graham is still an open borders weasel.
He has to run for re-election in 2020 and he’s smart enough to know he has to run - with - the President.

“Lie detector test not reliable - mostly just for show really”

Especially is someone has been coached. Also if someone who is friendly is running the test.
