Even if it is the case that the IC is only driven by self interest, it doesn't follow that every assessment they produce is fabricated. Self interest and honesty aren't mutually exclusive.

If truth isn’t a motivator for them, and self-interest is, follow that to its logical conclusion when an outsider becomes their boss and starts doing things they don’t want done. Where do you end up?

I didn't agree that truth isn't "a" motivator for them, just that it might not be the only one. Let's say they are resisting Trump's administration proactively. Why exactly would you have a problem with that? The man is trying to turn this country into a dictatorship.

It isn’t a motivator. The only motivator is self-interest. The only time they tell the truth is when it serves their interests to do so. 1/2

And think about what you just said at the end there. He was fairly elected, now you’re saying you’re okay with unelected people overthrowing an elected president. That’s a coup. *That’s* totalitarianism. And you’re okay with it because you don’t like the president. 2/2

There are also very real questions about how "fairly elected" this man was. Those questions are being sorted out by the Mueller probe.

“Fairly elected” meaning the rules were set before the election, the votes were cast, and he won the right states. And he *was* fairly elected.

You simply have no idea if that's true or not. We learn more every week about Russian interference, and we will continue to learn more via the Mueller probe. Again, you are jumping to preferred conclusions.
