Motive is an ELEMENT of the crime. It's a factor to prove YOU did it. Intent goes to whether a crime was committed at all.
If the @GOP still has questions about Trump's INTENT, they're welcome to call Bolton.
But I submit that you should listen to people who maybe LEARNED something there, instead of listening to a guy who is pushing a theory rejected by nearly all legal scholars.
It helps, but it's not *necessary* to prove. Intent always is. Sorry for pressing that point a little too far.
Trump's MOTIVE is well established. The only open question (and it's only *open* to disingenuous Republicans) is his INTENT.
