Yes I saw the interview with the polygrapher. It was on Shannon Bream. He said he interviewed Ford re: her statement/story for a long time, and that the actual polygraph consisted on only two questions: 1)Is your story true; and 2)Is your name Ford. He casually suggested that this is always the way it is done. Bream did not press him.

So the "expert" psychologist on passing polygraphs can't pass a real one?

You did not present the actual questions asked in her polygraph. The actual questions asked were:
1. Is any part of your statement false?
2. Did you make up any part of your statement?

Source: CBS News, 9/26/18, Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys release polygraph results on Kavanaugh allegations.

The test administered to her violates all professional protocols for polygraph tests. For example, see The Polygraph and Lie Detection, Appendix A, Polygraph Questioning Techniques. Look at the sections on Relevant/Irrelevant Questions and Comparison (Control) Questions.

A comparison/ control question is ALWAYS asked first. This was clearly not done.

I'm surprised that there is virtually no question being raised about this bogus polygraph test she was given. It's obvious that Jerry Hanafin (he gave the test) is complicit.

Thanks, looked like the interview was just over 4 minutes long.
