20. he never lied about being on the ride

That was never the issue. His coming forward at all makes no sense if there was a problem with him being on the ride. Neither does it make sense for him to try covering up what he DID on the ride by claiming he allowed the beating of the car and Mr. Lien in order to preserve his cover. His lying and trying to cover up was for what he DID on the ride, not the fact that he was on it. And he came forward 4 days later because he's not stupid and knew there was a chance that trying to lie about what he DID on the ride would be discovered. So, he waited and gambled that they wouldn't find out, but eventually they did find out what he DID on the ride in taking part in the assault on the SUV... it was for THAT and lying about it by saying he did nothing to try to stop that carnage in order to preserve his cover that was why he was arrested.

If he wasn't on assignment there is no reason for him to say anything about trying to preserve his cover because without his being on assignment to infiltrate the group there is no NEED to preserve any cover. It makes no sense at all for him to claim he was trying to preserve his cover if he wasn't on assignment to infiltrate the group in the first place.
