He has mentioned that he is driven by partisanship and, therefore everyone is

That reinforces my notion that most disagreements on an issue are a matter of differing defaults. I always start with the assumption of good faith. Even when I investigated matters on the job. That's the default. Until and unless there's indication to the contrary. People in government do tend to follow rules and do what they're expected to do. I cannot imagine how cynical or how mercenary one needs to be to make partisanship the default.
