The only problem with what you said was the verb tense.

(Hint: notice above, “It’s almost unheard-of for lawyers to be prosecuted for telling clients to lie on the stand”)

As officers of the Court, we cannot lie to the Court and we cannot instruct our clients to lie. Our system of justice, as flawed as it may be, would implode if perjury or the subornation of perjury went unpunished.

They are pissed because he told the truth “everybody lies in criminal cases, including the cops.”.
