Trump’s business instincts might ascribe to the theory that you get big rewards if you take calculated big risks. I can see him pushing to fire up impeachment hearings sooner rather than later if his gut told him (1) the party line will hold well enough to stop impeachment or to keep the Senate from convicting, and (2) the longer it goes, the less likely that party line will hold.

Or his gut might tell him “I want Original Recipe from KFC”. Could go either way.
