I’m sticking to:

1. Blackmail.
2. Bribery.
3. Stupidity.

I'm sticking to

1. Distraction from the Benghazi and VA scandals
2. Screw you, America

FR likes to ascribe all sorts of ulterior motives to the mechanations of politicians.

1. Sex

2. Money

3. Stupidity

There can be combinations, of course.
