Supreme Court Nominee #2

[simba16]

CNN and MSNBC are reporting that Deborah Ramirez met with FBI interviewers today and she gave them list of witnesses. I hope FBI does real investigation and follows up on her list and people named in Ronan Farrow report (links up thread) that knew about incident at Yale back when it happened.

Here is the polygraph test Christine Blasey Ford took following her sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh

This is the extent of the polygraph Dr Ford took.

Two key questions from Ford's polygraph test were: "Is any part of your statement false?" and "Did you make up any part of your statement?"

Yes. Two short questions. That's it. No investigative questions at all.

I'm sorry if I offended you. I thought when you announced your profession that you feel it's ok to talk about it.

I wont do that in the future.

It’s fine to talk about it. I don’t mind. I’m not offended at all!

You stated that you assumed I’d be a biased reporter, and I explained why I’m not.

In fact, I believe the more that people know about how journalists and newsrooms really operate, the more they’re held accountable, the better and more responsible they’ll be.

I believe there’s a tendency to blame the messenger when news makes people uncomfortable or it challenges their beliefs. That doesn’t make it biased.

Most (good) journalists consider themselves public servants. They earn about what public school teachers make, which isn’t much, and the benefits are fair at best. They don’t do it for the money or the fame, because there isn’t much of either to be had, tbh.

The clickbaity, biased, poorly sourced chum filling RSS feeds needs and deserves scrutiny. There are websites that intentionally misrepresent Information, attempt to disguise it as news, and get rich from the quick-money con. They exist, obviously.

Reports with loaded language, no sources, or without any original reporting or verification should always be scrutinized. Reports with a single anonymous source should be scrutinized.

She said ‘I didn't see any reason not to do it.’ when asked why she took the polygraph.

I would like to have heard why she did it. That would have been informative. Strange answer. Why be evasive? JMO

Two key questions from Ford's polygraph test were: "Is any part of your statement false?" and "Did you make up any part of your statement?"

This says "key questions". It does not indicate they were the only questions.

Is there a link that does say only two questions? TIA

ETA: Mica linked proof they were the questions.

 

[simba16]

I think BK is very conflicted and feels a lot of guilt about things he has done, and that is why he put on such a show as being a "choir boy" complete with a high school girl's team as props. It just seemed artificial to me from the beginning and didn't recall Gorsuch as being sold to us with countless ads as "champion of women."

Here's the polygraph test Christine Blasey Ford took on her allegations against Kavanaugh

 

[EuTuCroquet?]

It looks like CF may have opened the floodgates for lots of women to finally tell their deep, dark secrets. Apparently, several senators in the Senate Judiciary Committee got calls from women with their stories.
I told my secret here; Kellyanne Conway told of her experience to the world. Brave woman. I'm betting that Conway may not be the last high-profile individual to do so.
If nothing else good comes of all this, at least the "Me Too" women are not as afraid to speak of it as they were several days ago.
Now, somehow, we've got to work to try to lessen these events. And all of us here know that there are many women who will never get the chance to tell their stories...

Thanks, peeps, for being so supportive to me.

Love ya, @borndem.

GRASSLEY: Dr. Ford. I’m going to correct the record but it’s not something that I’m saying that you stated wrongly because you may not know the fact that when – when you said that you didn’t think it was possible for us to go to California as a committee or our investigators to go to California to talk to you, we did, in fact, offer that to you and we had the capability of doing it and we would’ve done it anywhere or anytime.

FORD: Thank you.

Kavanaugh hearing: Transcript

MITCHELL: You testified that Congresswoman Eshoo’s office contacted you on July 9th, is that right?

FORD: They contacted me the date that the nominee was announced, so that seems likely what…

MITCHELL: Had you talked to — about your allegations with anyone in her office before the date of July 9th?

FORD: I told the receptionist on the phone.

MITCHELL: OK. On July 10th, you texted The Washington Post again, which was really the third time, is that right? Second date, third time.

FORD: Let’s see.

(UNKNOWN): (OFF-MIKE) One moment.

FORD: Correct.

MITCHELL: And you texted — been advised to contact senators or New York Times, haven’t heard back from Washington Post. Who…

FORD: Yes.

MITCHELL: … advised you to contact senators or The New York Times?

FORD: Beach friends…

MITCHELL: OK.

FORD: … coming up with ideas of how I could try to get to people because people weren’t responding to me very quickly. So very quickly, they responded to that text for what — unknown reason that once I sent that encrypted text, they responded very quickly.

MITCHELL: Did you contact The New York Times?

FORD: No.

MITCHELL: OK. Why not?

FORD: I wasn’t interested in pursuing the media route, particularly. So I felt like one was enough, The Washington Post, and I was nervous about doing that. My preference was to talk with my congressperson.

MITCHELL: OK. The Washington Post texted back that someone would get in touch — get you in touch with a reporter. Did you subsequently talk to a reporter with The Washington Post?

FORD: Yes, under the encrypted app and off the record.

MITCHELL: OK. Who was that reporter?

FORD: Emma Brown.

Thank you. I had missed that.

She said ‘I didn't see any reason not to do it.’ when asked why she took the polygraph.

So, it went something like this?

Q: Why did you decide to take the polygraph?

A: Why not?

I don’t see any evasiveness in that. I see the opposite

I'm looking at journalist's from the outside and your looking from the inside.

I doubt we will ever agree on this subject. Besides it is off topic.

Here is the polygraph test Christine Blasey Ford took following her sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh

It wasn't intended to be an investigative test. How could it be? She was asked the only two questions that addressed her credibility, after she wrote out what had happened to her for the purpose of taking the test. The confidence level result was that there was less than 1% possibility she was being untruthful about anything she said that had happened.

LE uses lie detector tests routinely. Either you think they are useful or reliable, or you don't. If you don't think they are reliable, why does it matter how many questions are asked or if she was "emotional" when she took it? If you think they are reliable, and the qualifications of the ex-FBI feller haven't been challenged, how is the fact that "only" 2 questions were asked relevant?

Answering a question with a question is being evasive in my opinion. I do it all of the time here on Websleuths so I'm a semi pro at it.

It was two questions that are fundamentally the same.

Why You Shouldn't Ever Take a Polygraph, and How to Beat One If You Do

I have taken several polygraph tests, flunked them all. Even when I was telling the truth. I think I will read up on how to pass them for the next one!

Blame it on being brought up Jewish, we feel guilt, even when not guilty.

 

[Jax49]

Thank you for this important clarification of fact, @Jax49. <3

Hold up. Mica linked proof they were the only questions officially asked.

 

[EuTuCroquet?]

Watch the you tube I posted above.

I still don’t see any evasiveness.

She agreed to take a polygraph. She’s putting herself at risk doing that — as many have pointed out, they’re not exactly trusted.

Ya haven’t knocked Kavanaugh for declining one. For multiple reasons. They’re risky.

Yes she takes one and passes and her motives are questioned.

Do you think she should have refused?
