Falsa in uno, falsa in omnibus

So we now learn from Christine Blasey Ford's longtime old boyfriend two new facts:

  1. He personally witnessed Ms Ford coaching a friend on polygraph examinations. This, after Ms Ford in her testimony before the Judiciary Committee had explicitly denied ever having given anyone tips or advice on how to pass a polygraph examination.
  2. She had deceived that boyfriend and fraudulently charged his credit card.
Applying the standard falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal insisted should be applied to all of Mr Kavanaugh's testimony, we are now justified in ignoring all of Ms Ford's testimony as false since she obviously told a bold-faced lie in one statement.
