Mitchell Did anyone advise him on that choice. Ford: he was the person who came to do the test. I had left my grandmother's funeral that day. Mitchell: SO he administered a poly on the day of your grandmother's funeral.

Mitchell: Did you ever have advice from someone on taking a poly. Ford: Never. Mitchell: Did you pay for the poly yourself. Ford: I don't think so.
Show this thread -
Mitchell really walked into with those insinuations about Ford being coached on the poly, bc when Kavanaugh gets asked if he'd take a poly he's going to look like an asshole. Ford: I remember the machine being hooked up to my body. I remember crying a lot.

Looks like Ford would have preferred to keep going. Republicans want a half hour to research what Mitchell has elicited so far, I bet.
