I think he likes pushing the envelope to see how far the crowd will let him go. He's widely known to have paid for and used dirt on his enemies to influence things to his advantage. I think like most con men he likes to boast about what he's doing even if it's illegal. Or after getting away with it for so long and seeing others do it too, it just feels normal. I think he did use back channels with Rodger Stone to execute the crime, but he probably didn't even know it was a crime because he's been getting dirt on people his whole career. The only problem with this time was it was a Presidential election and a foreign power.
