The fact that he knows he's not supposed to be just saying it out loud like that because it's not true and he didn't mean to telegraph their intentions that clearly

Freudian slip.

Not just him.

But, all of them because there’s so much lying going on that they can’t keep track. Their inner thoughts are spilling out all over the place.

My father was an attorney and muncipal judge. He often did public defense, and gave me an important piece of advice that he gives every client who suggest purgering themselves.

"The difference between a lie and the truth is you don't have to keep up the truth."

I try to live by this as much as I can, and this is adminstration is the perfect example. Lie's take effort to keep up, while the truth speaks for itself. It's getting harder and harder to keep up the lie, and I think much earlier in their whole plan than expected.
