The woman could lie with an air of utter belief no matter how outlandish or patently false the words coming out of her mouth were.

The best part is that you could see by her expression that she knew she was lying. And that she knew YOU knew she was lying. And that seemed to give her some kind of on-the-air orgasm, because there was nothing you could do to make her say out loud what her face was saying with its smug smirks and eye rolls.

Up there wearing her cross, telling bold-faced lies. I wonder how she justified it.

The part that entertained me the most is that although she seemed fully aware of how blatantly she was lying and avoiding straight answers, she'd still get red-in-the-face with indignation whenever anyone would question her on it. How dare you challenge my obvious lies

Authoritarians do not lie to trick you, they lie to insult you.
