Former FBI Agent Explains How to Detect Lying & Deception | Tradecraft | WIRED

There are a number of myths about detecting deception. Fidgeting, looking away, touching your mouth, all of these things are commonly thought to be practices that indicate deception. Jim Clemente, former Supervisory Special Agent for the FBI, explains why that isn’t always the case and how people like him can decipher what these indicators really mean.

Clemente is a retired FBI criminal profiler, and co-host of “Real Crime Profile,” a true crime podcast distributed by Wondery. For more information about his career, go to http://www.jimclemente.com, or follow him on twitter at https://twitter.com/JimClemente

  1. Sounds knowledgeable and confident, but it’s supper easy to say any of those things are tells that the person was lying in retrospect. Hind site is 20/20. You may be great at being able to tell, may not be. But as far as convincing, you sound just a few steps better than trump trying to convince America that he’s an expert in anything.

    Fact is that you are probably right just greater than 50% of the time. Cops, fbi,cia and any one else in the alphabet soup generally make their mods up about someone immediately and are only looking for anything to fit their narrative.

  2. I don’t need to be a FBI to read if someone is lying I’m a natural lie detector and know straight away when someone lies, I’m expert at body language all natural and never been wrong

  3. Do please keep in mind that many of these indicators of lying are also symptoms of trauma exposure, that might be expressed by anyone while discussing the events. That is to say “stressed” does not always mean “lying”.

  4. So basically update the game real time and stay unpredictable is how you win against the fbi I mean they are basically telling white lies the entire time but ofc it’s inline prediction (auto correct)

  5. With Trump it’s impossible to tell when he is not lying. Since, when he breathes, it’s a lie. So he beats all of these tells.

  6. *Contradiction:*
    2:39 “When people lie, they try to keep it as simple as possible.”
    8:57 “When you’re telling facts, you simply have to state them.”
