He's already confessed to the illegal act.
Yup. Many people don't know that, though. They may not even realize that at the very least he committed a campaign finance violation with that phone call.

Yeah, I'm doubting that. There is nothing in what Trump has done up to this point that would indicate to me that this is some 3D chess type of strategy.

The same IG that found the complaint credible and urgent (it would have to be them) isn't going to then contradict themselves by saying partisan animus was the reason for the complaint. If they did that, then they would have to be investigated for perjury and many other things regarding lying on official government reports. If that happens, then it is almost certain they were pressured to do so by the White House. So either this is a red herring or it is a corrupt act of obstruction.
