NEW: Friend denies Dr. Ford helped her with polygraph exam, but questions remain

Just to update you on a story that was posted last night, Monica McLean, a retired FBI agent and friend of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, denied that she received any “assistance whatsoever in connection with a polygraph exam”:

New: Ford’s team releases statement from Monica McLean, the Ford friend cited in an ex-boyfriend’s anonymous statement to senators.

Dr. Ford’s ex-boyfriend had submitted a sworn statement saying Dr. Ford had coached McLean on how to beat the test:

And this morning’s statement from McClean will not exactly put this issue to bed. How did the ex-boyfriend know McClean’s name, for example?

Right. Because what are the chances that Christine’s ex boyfriend just happened to know that Monica McClean— whose name had NEVER been mentioned prior— had to submit to polygraph tests for FBI screenings?

LOL— Christine Blasey Ford is a LIAR. She got CAUGHT. https://t.co/0HHOP9Evlx

There are still questions here:

Ah this is the point.https://t.co/CpJvn4VTZW

I'd want to ask the person who wrote the letter whether she explained how the polygraph works in general terms (to help her feel comfortable with it) or coached her on how to beat it.

Also would like to ask Ford directly.
