I guess when you realize:
a) what little bit of a paltry legacy you had after 8 years of being the president is going to be wiped out in less than two months,
b) and that your country is more divided at any time since the 1960's and the civil war, considerably more than when you took office,

you grasp at straws to try and save your name from being tainted for all of history.
