Suspect tame as hell in spite of everything (3,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
all the same
'spite of everything' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'suspect tame as hell' is the wordplay.
'suspect' indicates anagramming the letters (a suspicious or unusual spelling).
'tame'+'as'+'hell'='tameashell'
'tameashell' anagrammed gives 'ALL THE SAME'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for all the same that I've seen before include "Notwithstanding" , "like clones?" , "like peas in a pod?" , "in spite of this" , "even so" .)
