All he had to do was say I did a lot of stupid things when I was young that I wish I hadn't and I'll be forever sorry for but I didn't do that!
It would have been even better if he’d added, I’m sorry someone did that to you, Doctor Ford, but it wasn’t me.
But he let his vanity get the better of him. He wanted everybody to think he was always a paragon of sobriety and virtue.
It doesn't appear to have occurred to him that there were many witnesses to times he wasn't' either sober or virtuous and they'd be glad to tell the world what they witnessed.
So he lied unnecessarily under oath and put his friends in the position of having to lie to the FBI to protect him.
Some paragon.
