What were the questions in the test? She took a test, but we really don’t know what she was queried. She may have been asked questions that were not exact enough to be relevant.

Polygraphs are junk science. You might as well claim she must be telling the truth because her astrological chart says she’s honest, and that’s borne out by the bumps on her skull, according to expert phrenologists.

Honest people fail polygraphs. Not admissible in court. So what’s the point? Easy. To distract the sheeple.

I had the same experience. Failed a lie detector test years ago when I worked at a company that was trying to determine if employees were using drugs. I have never used any illegal or recreational drug in my life; I don’t even like taking prescription drugs. But I failed the test because when they asked me if I’d ever shot peanut butter intravenously, I cracked up laughing.

I thought, “Is that even a thing? What, are people not getting fat enough putting food in their mouths; now they’re injecting peanut butter directly into their veins? Do they put peanut butter in the right arm and jelly in the left one?” The needle bounced around and for that, I was branded a suspected drug user. Junk science.

Graham certainly seems to have had a remaking of sorts. ( Maybe it was due to the meet and greet a buddy in SC had with the good Senator) My buddy said to him , “ You had better be watching out for our President”. He said the Senator looked him dead on and replied, “You know Iam ,don’t worry”. I was even shocked!!!

Who paid for it, who administered it and where’s the transcript?

Unless Ed Torian administered the test, it’s worthless!

In the words of George Costanza:

“It’s not a lie...if you believe it”

Is that a very good guess or has it been reported?

Was Ford given the lie detector to make sure she could fake a good lie?

For the most part, lie detectors are used to persuade someone to talk when they otherwise won’t do so. He might agree to talk if you give him the impression that there is some objective measure of whether he is telling the truth, instead of a good cop and a bad cop who are convinced the subject is lying and are just trying to get him to trip himself up.

However, while lie detectors are not generally admissible in court, if the defendant agreed to do it, then it is.

My point was that people are trained on how to pass lie detector tests even when they’re lying.
