The first impulse of the entire Federal Government is to lie...every single time. It's like it has become coded in their DNA to lie and lie every time they have to interact with the public in any way, and it is NOT just at the top. This culture of deceit may originate at the top of the deep state, but it permeates down to the very lowest levels now. They will lie even when the truth is better for them. That's how corrupt and gone our Federal Government is. It practically isn't even American anymore, and I include the military in that under the leadership of traitors like Milly and Austin.
