Some interrogators are really good at phrasing and intoning a question making it seem like they're inquiring about something very wrong, worth trying to cover up, e.g., "you didn't have any information about XYZ selling his shares, did you?" It shouldn't work if the target is thinking straight, but the whole point is to trigger a knee-jerk emotional reaction.

Martha Stewart wholesale lied by saying that she and her broker had a pre-set price point of $60 for when to dump ImClone. That part is completely fabricated by Stewart. It's impossible to mess up 'My stock broker told me CEO was dumping his shares' with 'We agreed to sell at $60'
