They tend to be careful to avoid lying flat out when someone is on the trail. The evasive maneuvers by the Press Aides tend to be honed to an art form. On the other hand, everyone who's in the clear will be very anxious to jump on the safe side. It's like a musical chairs where we have the last standing. Who's doled the most pork? Who has the most to hide? Who won't answer? We don't have to prove who, just get a good list of suspects and like rats on a sinking ship they scurry at the end.

People, especially political leaders, hide their actions when it will make them look bad. They are quite quick about stomping for things they think make them look good to their voters. Often those things look bad in the eyes of the nation but mean jobs at home or something their voters can justify. If they're hiding it's dirty.
