  > Falsifying polygraph test results isn't a crime, since the test results are inadmissible in court cases. True. But it is an obstruction of justice, and it seems pretty clear that some people were soliciting his services to cover up non-polygraph crimes. For example, providing false identification to members of the Zetas drug cartel is definitely a crime (and, considering their penchant for bloodshed, a pretty despicable one). It's also whether the "convicted sex offenders" used his training to avoid capture for additional crimes (which would make him something of an accomplice). Just not clear how we could defend a man who knowingly trained people doing some pretty nefarious things.

    >any civil investigative demand duly and properly made under the Antitrust Civil Process Act IANAL but that appears only to deal with the stuff dealt with here: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/1312 http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/1312 . That only applies to antitrust investigations.

      I think you're right! My mistake, thank you for correcting me. So maybe that's not relevant statute in this case? What else could "obstruction of an agency proceeding" refer to?
