There's not "a rationale" as we typically understand that word to work, and I think assuming one exists is making a lot of people go crazy

Rubio definitely has a coherent agenda that motivates him. but he's just one of several nodes of decision in the administration.

He wanted a "we got him" photo op. Everything he does is either out of revenge or out of jealousy, particularly against Obama.

He thinks he just looted a bunch of oil and it's going to make oil super cheap but the problem is that oil is already so cheap that it's not worthwhile for any major oil company to want
