You've had 20 years of experience "doing trials?" Well, I don't know exactly what that entailed, but as many folks keep pointing out, this wasn't a trial. Nevertheless, there was nothing to corroborate Dr. Ford's claims. All of the evidence came straight from her mouth. We can disagree on whether she sounded credible or not, but the fact is, even her good buddy couldn't back her up. Furthermore, I didn't say that the FBI interviewed Ford and Ramirez. I know they did not. Both Ford and Ramirez had given sworn statements---and Ford spoke for hours during the hearing. So the FBI took both ladies' statements, and they set out to interview the witnesses that they named in their statements. None of which could corroborate. As I replied to another poster, the Senate was given a report ABOUT the polygraph, but the actual data was not independently evaluated.
