> If they didn't feel they were doing anything improper, why did they lie to the American people and during subsequent testimony? One good reason would be that appearances are extremely important in nearly all circumstances, especially when running for office or while in office. People often lie for very dumb, shallow reasons, because of their fear of how something might look. Trump is all about image after all and always has been. His brand has always been his primary business.
