Why have so many Trump advisers lied to investigators?

Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone has been arrested and charged with lying to investigators, among other counts. A new story in The Washington Post explores why Stone and other members of the Trump campaign have been accused of, or pleaded guilty to, lying in the special counsel's investigation. The Post's Justice Department reporter Matt Zapotosky joins CBSN with more.

So true. We all know when a detective catches a potential suspect in a lie, the begin to look even deeper. Four people pleaded guilty to lying, a fifth convicted, a sixth indicted--biggest question is why are they lying?

The lies are the cover up. It is that if you are 12 years old or a grown man. You don't lie if you don't have something to lie about.

How do you make money off of our US Coastguard???  Refuse to pay them.  1 month interest on government payroll is a lot of money...  Our Coast guard here in South Texas catches drug runners and people trying to get into the country illegally...  I think they are more important than any wall???

[JoseSanchez-wbrz]

When you are employed by a Liar why shouldn't you become one? It's like raising children, if you let your TV set do the babysitting what good can come out of that?

[giz-bar]

Impeach! Damn it! Impeach!

Has anyone questioned Donald Trump yet..?
Why is everyone else getting locked up except him?!

[RichWinder-jexn]

Zippy the Stone and Orange Fatty,

as Bob Muellers' truth hounds,
are indicting the clowns,
who are appearing less and less natty.
