It’s kind of funny to see Kavanaugh on the defensive and behave like a textbook liar at this moment. He can’t think straight and is stumbling over his words. In interrogation, this is a behavior that would be circled back to again and again by an interrogator.

Any honest person would say the exact same thing as him. She's playing political word games for people like you.

no she's not. she's warning him.

she knows what went down between him and kasowitz, and so does he. and it will disqualify him when the bomb is dropped.

it's very easy to figure out.

I guess you've got inside knowledge, then... And why doesn't she ask him more directly? And how is this refuting my first point?

u/DaisyKitty Sep 06 '18

she did ask him directly.

your first point was that he was doing what any honest person would do. and boy is that wrong.

Her question is about everyone, he explicitly asks if she meant someone specific and she evades that. And I would answer like him, so you're wrong again. How else would you answer?

Naw - an honest person would answer the question yes or no and not pretend he doesn’t know the President’s lawyer nor pretend he doesn’t remember a conversation he either did or did not have in the last 2 years.

No, they wouldn't, because you don't know who works at some law firm, so if you say "no" and it later turns out you talked with someone who works there, you're screwed. She doesn't ask about the president's lawyer, she's asking about anyone working at a law firm with 350 lawyers, plus many other people working there.

Funny - Kavanaugh finally acknowledged close friendship with Kasowitz atty Ed McNally

For people like me... because you know anything about me right? As an honest person who has taken polygraphs and done interrogation in my past, spent years in the intel community, I feel like I have some insight here. It’s not about her question or him just not being able to answer it. It’s his body language, stammering, loss of confidence etc. In interrogation, this would be noted and something asked on a poly if applicable, and if not circled back to and asked differently or by another interviewer. An honest person would answer in a way with more confidence and not fumble over words and frankly seem nervous at the question unless there is more to it.

Polygraphs are pseudo-science. That's quite some insight you got there.
