Lying about the fear of flying is irrelevant to anything except whatever ulterior motive the liar had. Everyone with access to a television knew Republicans wanted to fly out to see her wherever she was located. They didn't hide anything.

Let's not forget, the root of the fear of flying was supposedly the claustrophobia caused by Trauma of THIS ALLEGED ASSAULT.  That's a big fib. 

We were also treated to harrowing stories about how long and arduous the two question polygraph was.  

She said that her friend didn't remember the party because of 'health problems'

She said she didn't contact a single white house official or republican on the committee because she (PHD) and her "Beach friends" could only google the address for her congressional representative and the Washington Post (to keep her confidentiality) but none of them could look up Grassley, Flake, Kelly, Conway, or figure out the number for the local police department.  

Not to mention the fact that her story, at current, is predicated on the idea that she and her best friend at the time were at a party, she was attacked by two psychopaths and she walked downstairs after being assaulted and left her best friend there with the two predators to be the next victim.  

Christine Blasey Ford was interviewed by the special questioner.  She was not cross examined.  Had she endured a thorough cross examination she would have folded.  Even in this free flowing, non confrontational form of questioning she still demonstrated material errors and contradictions in her statement and it was pointed out at key points, like her allegedly hearing talking down the stairs or seeing people from locked bathrooms, that parts of her story don't make sense.   

There's a difference between someone's memory not being perfect because of Trauma and someone who is demonstrated to be consistently contradicting herself and exaggerating key facts and narratives to make herself seem more sympathetic.  

The special questioner in this case is a sex crimes prosecutor and victims advocate.  She conquered that in this case, given the fact pattern not only could you not charge Mr. Kavanaugh with attempted Rape, you wouldn't even be able to justify probable cause for a search warrant.
