I only read the excerpt. Seems like the “expert” is saying that, within the crazed paranoiac schizo system this guy dreamed up, all was logical (to him).
Maybe, but the perp is sorely lacking a sense of right and wrong if he can concoct a self-consistent internal world where the solution is taking someone out at close range in a surprise attack.
Sometimes governments decide that assassination is good to achieve a specific goal. This idea is usually tested and checked by more than one person before orders are given, some sense and balance added.
The article reminds me of “Don’t Take Me Alive” by Steely Dan: “I hear in my insides the mechanized hum of another world, where no sun is shining, no red lights flashing”
And sometimes extreme left groups like John Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) plot to carry out political assassinations, like when they wanted to take out various senators who were in favor of winning the war.
March 2004:
The Vietnam Veterans Against the War:
Assassination Plot --was John Kerry at the meeting or not?
"Mr. Kerry denies being present at the November 12-15, 1971, meeting in Kansas City of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and says he quit the group before the meeting. But according to the current head of Missouri Veterans for Kerry, Randy Barnes, Mr. Kerry, who was then 27, was at the meeting, voted against the plot, and then orally resigned from the organization.
Mr. Barnes was present as part of the Kansas City host chapter for the 1971 meeting and recounted the incident in a phone interview with The New York Sun this week.
In addition to Mr. Barnes’s recollection placing Mr. Kerry at the Kansas City meeting, another Vietnam veteran who attended the meeting, Terry Du-Bose, said that Mr. Kerry was there.
There are at least two other independent corroborations that the "antiwar" group Vietnam Veterans Against the War, of which Mr. Kerry was the most prominent national spokesman, considered assassinating American political leaders who favored the war."

April 2004:
"Kerry has long been portrayed as not being at the Kansas City, Mo., meeting because Kerry recalled quitting the organization at an acrimonious July 1971 session, four months before the November meeting at which the assassination plot was discussed.
But last week, the Kerry campaign seemed to leave open the possibility that he had attended the November session, after historian Gerald Nicosia said he had found an FBI document that he said indicated that Kerry was there.
As a result of Nicosia's assertion, Kerry's campaign said in a statement that while Kerry did not remember being at the meeting, "If there are valid FBI surveillance reports from credible sources that place some of those disagreements in Kansas City, we accept that historical footnote in the account of his work to end the difficult and divisive war."..."
