Where Is the Polygraph Trail Leading?
nationalreview.com ^ | Charles Cooke

Posted on 10/03/2018 5:16:41 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The “sworn statement from a longtime boyfriend of Dr. Ford’s” is now online. In it, the ex-boyfriend claims that he...

"witnessed Dr. Ford help McLean [Ford’s friend] prepare for a potential polygraph exam. Dr. Ford explained in detail what to expect, how polygraphs worked, and helped McLean become familiar and less nervous about the exam."

He also writes that “Dr. Ford never brought up anything regarding her experience as a victim of sexual assault, harassment, or misconduct”; that she “never mentioned Brett Kavanaugh”; that she “never indicated a fear of flying”; that she “never expressed a fear of closed quarters, tight spaces, or places with only one exit”; that she was “unfaithful”; and that she committed “fraud” by using a credit card from which she had been removed long after she had broken up with the cardholder.

These statements are of varying use, and, at this stage, it is impossible to tell how true they are. Nevertheless, it seems clear that Rachel Mitchell knew some of this during last week’s Senate hearing, because she asked Ford two extremely specific questions on the subject of polygraphs. They were:

MITCHELL: Had — have you ever given tips or advice to somebody who was looking to take a polygraph test?

FORD: Never.

And:
MITCHELL: Have you ever had discussions with anyone, beside your attorneys, on how to take a polygraph?

FORD: Never.

Perjury trap set and sprung.

Now that McLean’s name is known, we now also know that she was one of the signatories of the letter from the Holton Arms Class of 1984 supporting Ford.

Voice actress imitates weird baby voice of Blasey-Ford:

Her imitation was so effective this actress apparently had to APOLIGIZE and delete her twitter account.

Republicans appear very wise using Mitchell to pick apart Ford’s polygraph lies. The Ex-FBI gal pal McLean lives in Delaware where Ford wrote her fictional account it appears. This apparently is her “beach friend” that she referred to under oath. McLean is neck deep in this Fraud.....Mitchell was methodical in the timeline, Ford has a big problem.....

I know Comey has made a comment or two on the Kavanaugh/Ford matter, he can’t keep his yap shut. But I do find it very interesting that Brennan and Clapper have been virtually silent. Very interesting.

Trump's mocking comments about Dr. Ford at his Mississippi rally last night have the atheists at HuffPo thinking this is the apocalypse.

The DATE on the letter from the former boyfriend is October 2, yesterday. The questions about polygraphs could just be a case of prescience by an experienced prosecutor based on Ford’s polygraph and her field of practice.

Ford and her friend deny, then this issue is dead.

I don't think so. There seems to be a lot going on behind the scenes that the public doesn't know about.

Remember the old lawyer's maxim..."never ask a question you don't already know the answer to."

Perhaps those questions are routine when cross-examining someone who is using a passed polygraph to support their testimony?

“Great minds think alike”:-)!
But then, there’s this:

I believe you're right....and by some miracle, it didn't get leaked.

The boyfriend's letter was dated June 2. Mitchell did not mention lying about the polygraph in her memorandum.

Why would another person take it for her? Only two non-specific questions were asked that she could easily answer without making the machine indicate a deception. The polygraph photo could be reversed, the lighting is different, and she’s not stretching her neck in the hotel room.

If Rachel Mitchell know about the polygraph, why didn’t she slam Ford during her questioning?

The boyfriend's letter was dated October 2 (yesterday).

Does one of them have blue eyes and the other one brown?
There’s a photo of dr Fraud (with braces) from her year book. There she has brown eyes. At the hearing her eyes are blue.

I gotta say, this woman does NOT LOOK 51. She looks 60, and I’m not trying to be cruel, but... I’m really suspicious that she wasn’t 15 in 1982 or whatever. I mean, Look at her neck. Look at pictures of Sarah Palin, who is supposedly 3 years older.

She may find that her GoFundMe payoff won’t be enough for the lawyers she’ll have to hire.
