The news says that this Kendra Kingsburgy chic got about four years in the slammer for doing the same thing Donald Trump (whom I know has NOT yet been convicted) did. As an FBI Analyst, I am sure that ol' Kendra passed a polygraph, or two, or three, in the 13 years she was being a criminal.
This is just another example of polygraph failure. There are many others polygraph failures that do not make the news.
In fact . . . wait a minute . . . how many "success stories" of the polygraph catching has the public heard of? Answer: None[/]
How many stories have been in the news of spies who likely passed a polygraph, even if the U.S. government will not admit it? Answer: MANY
Polygraphers? Crickets . . .
One thing I will add about this Kendra chic is that she was both stupid and smart.
Stupid for keeping classified at her house when everyone knows the best way to steal classified is just remember it then speak it to someone after assuring you are not being recorded.
She is smart in that once she was busted, she said nothing else. She didn't why she had the docs or with whom she shared them, thus, minimizing her culpability.
You'll find commentary on the Kendra Kingsbury case, including the likelihood that she would have been polygraphed during the period during which she unlawfully retained classified documents, here:
