I dunno, I guess they never thought they would have to answer for the reason or some damn thing so they never bother to put together a story that everyone agreed on.
Either that or by the time they had to determine what to use they were already at each other’s throats.
I cannot quite put myself in their mindset. Not that I would ever want to.
Maybe Lynch[Holder, really, that sow’s too braindead] had them all so compartmentalized the answers they gave, they thought were plausibly undeniable. ‘Just following orders’
