Twisting people’s words

I find I have a great talent for twisting people’s words, when I have some need to do so. It’s why I fear the same ability in others:

Cardinal Richelieu is alleged to have said, “If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.” That’s also how the false statement charge works. Any cop or prosecutor can concoct a “lie” from your statements.
