Then further on - - "Even Trump does not engage in a criminal conspiracy purely for its own sake."
Have you been paying attention? Trump is known for routinely breaking norms - and laws - oftentimes for no other reason than belligerence and bellicosity. There is a very strong streak of 'oppositional defiance' - that has been clearly demonstrated and long standing. In fact, has anything been clearer in his prior history?

Nothing here to say that Trump did not have ulterior motive. But to claim that motivation is absolutely demonstrated and revealed - in his intransigence ... That just isn't borne out in what we know of this man - and his behavior. Trump is absolutely the kind of guy that would buck the government white hats - for little or no reason beyond, "can't make me."

Sorry - but it's a weak argument - and a poor place to hang your hat.
