/ˈpɒl.ɪ.tɪk/ (adj)

Definition

tactful and shrewd, wise, able to make sound decisions, sensible, sagacious, discreet, judicious, canny, diplomatic, astute, tactical, expedient, prudent

Example

To begin with, why are you cross-examining the witness in the first place? The point of cross is not to get information from the witness. The point of cross is not to get the witness to change his story. And most of the time, the point of cross is not to destroy the witness with contradictions and clever and politic impeachment. The point of cross is to let you – the lawyer –tell your side of the case so the witness has to agree that what you say is true.
