Why? Why did everyone feel the need to lie about meeting with Russians??

Is it just a coincidence? Very doubtful.

Were they ordered to lie?

Are they all complicit?

4. They all knew they were committing a crime at the time.

As evidenced by Sessions telling them to shut up or it might leak out.

5. They are all complicit and there is money involved here

I have no doubt

6. I've been asking every repug in sight that question.

7. Maybe they lie reflexively: it can be a convenient habit for habitual criminals
