"Christina Blasey Ford’s Polygraph Was B.S. American Greatness, by Michael Thau

The fact that Christine Blasey Ford’s lawyers refused to release the results of her polygraph exam until the day before her testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee last month caused some suspicion.  And when we finally got a look at them, a lot of Judge Kavanaugh’s supporters were confirmed in their suspicions.  It turned out that Ford’s examiner, former FBI agent Jeremiah Hanafin, only asked her two relevant questions.  And that’s not how most folks imagine polygraph exams are supposed to go.
