Tim withheld his suspicions about the Collectors before Freedom's Progress. He also doesn't bother telling you he's being hiring your friends by using your name as bait. (Joker, Dr. Chakwas.)
So? Those are really unimportant details. There is no time to have a tea-party and a nice long chat about how TIM did everything. There are human lifes at stake and info is on a need-to-know basis.
Also, TIM wasn't lying when he used Shepard's name as bait now did he? He simply told Joker and Chakwas the truth, that he was bringing Shepard back to life with the Lazerus project.
TIM does good work and he knows how to handle things.

He deliberately leaked information that destroyed Shepard's credibility with the Alliance and Council to order to bait Horizon as a trap, and didn't bother telling Shepard about it until after the trap had sprung.
DUH! If TIM told Shepard about it beforehand than the entire plan could have gone into the water if Shepard is a Paragon. I mean, Renegade Shepard would see the logic behind TIMs plan, but Paragon Shepard, who's a blind idealistic fool in ME2, wouldn't see it.
But again, info is on a need to know basis and TIM has very good reasons for keeping up the secrecy.
Do I like it? No.
Do I understand it? Yes.
Do you like it? No.
Do you understand it? No. You simply don't and won't understand.

He lied about the Collectors trap, and please don't pretend that was justified, it was TIM's single stupidest act in the game. It could easily have gotten the whole team killed and the Normandy lost. If they had gone in knowing, they could have destroyed or captured the ship right there. If you have Miranda with you on that mission even she clearly sees it as a betrayal.
It IS justified. If Shepard would have went into that ship fully prepared, it probably would have tipped off the Collectors. They would have seen it comming. They would sense that Shepard knows it's a trap. They would run off and then Shepard would NEVER have gotten the data.
TIM trusted Shepard to be capable enough to handle it and TIM was right. In the end Shepard succeeds and gets the job done, proving TIM right.
Again, did I like it? No. But did I understand it? Yes.

The only time TIM doesn't withold information from you is the Dead Reaper mission, and even then he's been witholding the existence of the Reaper back the whole time, knowing perfectly well that physical evidence of a 37 million year old Reaper would have completely pithed the councils "Sovereign was a Geth ship" argument.
Ow come on, are you serious? The council saw Sovereign in action and STILL denied that he was more than just a geth ship, they STILL denied that Sovereign was a reaper. Do you REALLY think this delerict reaper would have made any difference? Nope.
TIM did the right thing once again. He knew the council would be too stupid to see the truth. He also didn't want Shepard to chase false leads, so he didn't tell Shepard about the delerict reaper until his team discovered the reaper IFF.

EDI, Joker, and Miranda all have dialogue about the Illusive man's control issues. And EDI never lies to you. It's also evident in the way he insists on trying to 'manage' you by denying vital information, rather than keeping to his word that you are an ally.
Read the Mass Effect Evoluton comic you'll understand TIM's behavior.
And again: Info is on a need-to-know basis.
And again, I do not like TIM's style, but I understand his style and I see that his style works. TIM is ruthless, but he gets results, but you just simply won't see this.
