Still, I’m curious as to the motive, though we probably will likely never know.

His little piss poor release of a day-and-a-half's worth of oil will be touted as the reason for price drops - even though they (prices) have been in decline for a few weeks now. That's the reason.

Wasted political capital if that’s the case.
