Lawyers representing a woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of decades-old sexual assault have released a polygraph report conducted as part of an effort to establish the credibility of her claim.

"On August 7, 2018, Christine Blasey reported to the Hilton Hotel, 1739 West Nursery Road, Linthicum Heights, MD 21090, for the purpose of undergoing a polygraph examination," the report explained. "The examination was to address whether Blasey was physically assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh while attending a small party in Montgomery County, MD."

The accusations have stalled the nomination of President Donald Trump's second Supreme Court nominee, who had been slated to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.

Details included in the polygraph report, which was made public the day before scheduled Senate testimony by both Kavanaugh and Ford, have led to some criticism among supporters of the nominee.

A common concern is the dearth of "relevant questions" the interviewer asked Ford while monitoring the polygraph results.

According to the report, there were only two such questions and both related directly to her statement on the alleged assault.

The interviewer asked Ford whether "any part" of her statement was false or whether she made up any detail included in her initial report.

She answered "no" to both questions.

According to the report, the results of her polygraph test were then analyzed using three different methods, each of which determined a statistically insignificant probability of deception.

Numerous critics argued that the questions posed to Ford were insufficient to form a convincing report.

"There are literally only two questions asking if she made things up," tweeted CRTV congressional correspondent Nate Madden.

"This is even bad by the unreliable hokum standards of polygraph tests."

The questions consisted of: Is any part of your written statement false? No.

Did you make any of it up? No.

Even for an inadmissible quack witch doctor snake oil unscientific polygraph report, this is bad. https://t.co/MtZbjBgSnU

Wow...

Not only was the only question just about the written statement, not any specifics, but th statement has multiple edits and contradictions. She started w 4 people (matching letter to Feinstein), then adjusted to 4 boys (matching account to WaPo) and a couple of girls (?). https://t.co/HKH2H9N3Yf

Others, including National Review editor Charles W. Cooke, found inconsistencies in Ford's story.

"Dr. Ford's polygraph letter contradicts letter she sent to (Sen. Dianne) Feinstein," Cooke wrote. "Polygraph letter says "4 boys and a couple of girls" were at party. Letter to Feinstein says "me and four others." No way to reconcile the two--irrespective of whether she's counting herself in polygraph letter."

Feinstein letter, July 30: "Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom"

Polygraph statement, August 7: "I was pushed b̶y̶ ̶t̶w̶o̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶s̶o̶n̶s̶ into a bedroom"

Ford is set to appear on Capitol Hill on Thursday to answer questions related to her allegations.

Democrats on the Senate judiciary committee will question the witnesses directly while Republicans have tasked a prosecutor with asking the questions.

Grassley confirmed Tuesday in a statement that he has hired Rachel Mitchell, a career prosecutor with decades of experience prosecuting sex crimes, to question the witnesses.

She won’t survive cross-examination by the GOP female prosecutor from AZ.

The other issue with the polygraph is why did she take it in Maryland, when she delayed her appearance before the Senate because of a fear of flying? Is it normal to drive 5 days cross country to take a polygraph? (I base the driving time on my own experiences driving between MD and CA, 13 times.)

Hopefully, the lawyer hired by the senate will be astute enough to ask this question.

A lot of crazies begin to believe their own lies.

[tomkat]

WTH ??

[bgill]

She has been in the Maryland/Delaware/DC area since the middle of August. All this hooey about how to travel to DC for the hearing was all just that, hooey.

The creepy retired FBI polygraph guy was interviewed on FOX last night so there should be a youtube of it somewhere. It’s appalling. He says it is normal to ask two questions. Snort, your government money at play.

Either way, there is a big lie going on here. Hopefully, the hired lawyer will hone in on it.

ACTION ALERT: Democrat Sen Kamala Harris has some 3000 Facebook ads against Kavanagh.
Harris is urging voters to sign a petition highlighting what she says is his opposition to Roe v. Wade and loyalty to President Trump.
NOTE WELL: Harris’s petition links to a fundraising page suggesting contributions of $15 or more to her campaign......
Harris isn’t up for re-election this year, but has presidential ambitions.

Linking opposition to Kav w/ fund-raising looks suspiciously like Democrat blackmail.
She and other Democrats are scrounging for campaign money on the back of Kavanaugh's nomination.

=============================================

ACTION NOW: Americans demand charges be filed against Kamala....and other Democrats....
who undermine the political system, by putting a price on their votes against Kavanaugh.

Maybe someone’s drinking.

[DAC21]

Not that polygraph tests are legitimate. Even so the line of questioning should be the name of the ex FBI agent, is he current on his credentials to administer the test (if ever) Was the testing equipment calibrated and 3rd party certification in effect?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Isn’t that an airport hotel?

[Sacajaweau]

Because of her background, I believe she is totally capable of "deceiving" the machine. I listened to the "taker"...professional but you could smell the BS.

I'll bet she practiced 100 times before she took the test.

What were the base line questions?

TRY AGAIN PLEASE

[melsec]

Normal for what? I would ask. If you look up polygraphs for employment screening purposes (ie for the criminal justice system) they usually ask 8 to 10 as a minimum. I have read of people having 30plus for high security appointments.

[Mother Mary]

>>Hopefully, the lawyer hired by the senate will be astute enough to ask this question.<<

I believe that they did not hire a lawyer. They hired a female sex abuse specialist who works for the prosecutor’s office in Maricopa county.

[trebb]

And she probably only passed because she had no hand in writing up the statement the polygraph referred to.....
