Assuming that "US Government" has a single coherent goal is an event worse error than assuming the same of e.g. Microsoft (1)

Quite possibly: one faction in one branch of "US Government" is manoeuvring for power / money / status from another branch. Uncovering "truth" might be quite irrelevant to this goal; there's a lot of post-truth stuff happening there at present.
