As a criminal defense attorney, and a retired public defender, I've had numerous clients submit to polygraph exams. In scrutinizing the competing narratives of Dr. Christine Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh, consider the following: There's a saying in our line of work: there are two types of polygraphs, one that your client passed, as Christine Ford did, and one that never occurred.
Brett Kavanaugh has hired a criminal defense attorney; there is apparently no statute of limitations on felonies in Maryland. And 17-year-olds can be tried as adults. Any criminal defense attorney worth his or her salt, almost certainly had Kavanaugh take a confidential polygraph exam. If Kavanaugh had passed his polygraph, you can be sure his attorney, and PR folks, would have already let the entire world know. You can take it from there!
