How to use polygraph in a sentence?

1. Hillary Clinton:

   He took a lie detector test. I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs, oh, he plea bargained. Got him off with time served in the county jail, he’d been in the county jail about two months.

2. Barry Morphew:

   I’ve never been asked to do a polygraph, there is nothing that I am hiding. I have given three – 30 hours of testimony to the FBI and the CBI. I’ve answered every question. Every single question.

3. Tommy Potter:

   … He fully cooperated with investigators, he did some things that a person who is normally guilty for this type of crime, they would not do. He kept in contact with her family. So no, it does not surprise me that he passed the polygraph. He was a suspect for a number of years, but based on the most recent investigation, we were able to eliminate him as being a suspect.

4. Tara Reade:

   What kind of precedent does that set for survivors of violence ? does that mean were presumed guilty and we all have to take a polygraph ? I will take one if Joe Biden takes one.
