I feel compelled to get something off my chest this morning about a profession I hold in high regard. I am a retired polygraph examiner and administered several thousand polygraph examinations during my career. I also was a Director and instructor of a national Polygraph School. The fact that Dr. Ford took a polygraph test and was said to have passed means nothing to me. Can a polygraph test be beat? Yes...it sure can. Actually the polygraph can't be beat the polygraph examiner can. As in a critical medical diagnosis, a second opinion is necessary for professional efficacy so too a polygraph test should be administered by two separate examiners following proper protocol. This most likely did not occur with Dr. Ford. She, with her Psychological background easily could have applied the principles of fight or flight utilized in a polygraph exam to give a false reading on her exam. So, no I put no weight on Dr. Ford's polygraph test but I do hold to polygraph tests, administered properly are accurate.

..2012, when she was in couples therapy with her husband. The therapists notes,do not mention Kavanaughs name. The notes say four boys were involved, a discrepancy Ford says was an error on the therapists part.
In an interview, her husband, Russell Ford, said that in the 2012 sessions, He said he recalled that his wife used Kavanaughs last name and voiced concern that Kavanaugh then a federal judge might one day be nominated to the Supreme Court.
So they thought six years in the future someone could be nominated to the Supreme Court and they better take action. That the target was a Federal Judge was OK, but Supreme Court, Oh No! And I like the it was 4 boys, no it was 2! Plus the notes list no name provided per the therapists notes, but Dr. Ford's husband remember that his wife named Kavanaugh. I like when disinterested parties remember important facts, NOT.
Ford took a polygraph test administered by a former FBI agent in early August. The results, which Katz provided to The Post, concluded that Ford was being truthful when she said a statement summarizing her allegations was accurate.
I believe in the case of Michael Flynn the FBI agents concluded Michael Flynn did not lie but Michael Flynn will be sentenced for lying to the US Government. So do we believe FBI agents in every situation or not?
....By then, Ford had begun to fear she would be exposed. People were clearly learning her identity: A BuzzFeed reporter visited her at her home and tried to speak to her as she was leaving a classroom where she teaches graduate students. Another reporter called her colleagues to ask about her.
Gee everyone was asked to keep her name confidential, but guess you can't trust Congress Persons, Senators, FBI and the Washington Post to honor an agreement!
What are common results for sociopaths?
We dont know what questions were asked either.
**************
And she doesn’t know which questions may be posed to her during testimony. That will put enormous psychological pressure on her over the next week as the reality of the country scrutinizing her every word and mannerism becomes clearer. I can’t help but wonder if she’ll suddenly decline to testify?
THIS crap is the warning for NO ONE to be anywhere near Trump, or they WILL BE DESTROYED!!
*****************
Bingo! That is their tactic.
In other words this is the message they are sending:
“WARNING: Associating with Donald J. Trump can be harmful to you and your family.”
According to FNC this a.m., she hasn’t accepted the invitation to Monday’s hearing.
Delusional people believe their lies and pass the test.
My first question is, WHY did she feel the need, in August, to take one in the first place?
By then, she had agreed to go public. You can be sure Feinstein knew this and even recommended a good administrator...one you used to work for the FBI to give it some added credence. She also made sure that all her Twitter and Facebook accounts were scrubbed.
Problem with that is even less than a week ago, she was saying that the accuser wanted to remain confidential and that was the reason she withheld the information. That was surely a lie. By the time she leaked the confidential letter to the press, plans were well afoot to go public
Interesting that she recalls wearing a bathing suit and now it is said she wore it under her clothes. Did she say it it was a one piece or two piece? I’m thinking a one piece would be more difficult to remove, especially under clothing, then either underpants or a bikini bottom. The question is what kind of clothing was she wearing? Pants or shorts? A dress or skirt? Does she remember?
I bet you’ve seen it all!
It shouldn’t be an invitation. In circumstances like this it should be a command.
I’m tired of women thinking they can accuse, say or do anything with no consequences.
There’s one question and one question only for Judge K.
Question: As a minor, specifically around the age of 17, did you ever drink alcoholic beverages at a party where girls were present. If so, did you ever drink alcohol to the point of intoxication? Black out? Vomting?
I think it’s a pretty simple question. If the Judge NEVER drank alcoholic drinks under the age of 18, then case is over.
If he did drink, was it ever in the present of women? Did he ever drink to excess? Drive drunk?
I can pretty much remember most of the parties I went to as minor. I recall getting drunk a couple times when the party was chaperoned. I never tried to force myself on a girl, however I can recall a few times waking up, or being woke up, and there was a girl on top of me...drunk.
I think this probably happened to this lady, but it could have been someone else...esp if she was drinking too.
we played Slap,Kiss an Wow in 7th grade.
Why not ask those same questions to the accuser? Like I said earlier, polygraphs are not just about one incident. It is to establish a pattern of not telling the truth.One of the questions I would ask her in the pre interview is , Since you were ten years old, have you ever knowingly lied to your parents or anyone in position of authority. At that time she would have to reveal to the interviewer anything she may have lied about in her lifetime. Now, during the test she would be asked, other than what we discussed during the interview, was their any other time you have been untruthful. If her answer is no and the needle doesn’t spike, she’s good to go, however if the needle does spike, and it probably will, then more discussion is needed such as, what are you not telling me and so on and so forth. Now, if I was looking to exonerate her, I would never ask questions like that.
Sure have. We used polygraphs to intimidate confessions out of the innocent and the guilty.
Read up from National heart associations how the human heart ACTUALLY works, not how benfactor stakeholders fabricate how the heart works.
The heart is a very unreliable thing. That comes from the research groups themselves.
“I headed security in a former life and a polygraph had one purpose. The test intimidates gullible ignorant, usually young suspects into CONFESSION.”
I was a cook at an interstate restaurant, and corporate HQ brought in a polygraph guy to investigate thefts there. I agreed to take the test, and I failed. I wasn’t stealing anything, and the test agreed there, but I failed the questions about if I knew who was stealing. I didn’t actually know, but I was pretty sure it was one (or maybe even all) of three or four people. All of those people refused to take the test. The end result was that nothing happened.
They only ask yes or no questions.
Yes, there’s all sorts of good questions like the ones you raise for her.
My point with the judge is, if he NEVER was an underage drinker, and no one can dispute that, then he’s free.
If he admits to underage drinking, then it might get sticky, but he told Hatch that he wasn’t at the party. That’s really sticking your neck out unless you NEVER WENT TO A MIXED party where there was drinking at that age.
I think the Judge is going to be exonerated big time here.
The question was/is, have you ever been interviewed and polygraphed by a professional investigator where you were the subject of an investigation.
“She remembered the story in 2012, and has been counseled about it since then. Thats plenty of time to cement it into memory and make it real”
Sexual assault and near death experiences are remembered with clarity. I have had a couple of close brushes with death. I remember them perfectly. I remember them with a clarity that does not extend to other memories on the same day.
This is actually a protective mechanism of the brain. The brain makes you remember it well, so you do not do it again.
Ms. Ford is either delusional or a liar. My bet is liar.
I don’t care what she has supposedly said. What I want to know is;
WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE HER.
That is my question and no one has the answer other then she is a woman and;
WE HAVE TO BELIEVE HER.
Another step downward for this country.
