A liar will lie to protect another liar's lie. This, the liar will do, not for an affinity felt between liars but because the liar wants you to believe his own lies if he ever uses a similar lie. If you doubt the other liar's lies, the liar will throw doubts at your doubts, to make you question yourself if it is ever his own lies that draw your suspicions. If you are good at discerning the truth this puts the liar at risk, so the liar tries to damage your truth-detection skills, or failing that, to make you doubt yourself. For his own deceptions to work on you, the liar needs your views of reality to be distorted. For his own lies to work on you, the liar needs you to believe all the other lies.
