Instruments of oppression. I said that and believe its true. So finally, mr. Kent, for as long as i can remember. Policy predicated on principled interest in Democratic Values notely freedom of speech, pre and fair and other elections in the rule of law. Mr. Kent, when american leaders ask foreign governments to investigate their potential rivals, doesnt that make it harder for us to advocate on behalf of those Democratic Values . I believe it makes it more difficult for our diplomatic
representatives overseas to carry out those policy goals, yes. How is that, sir . Well, theres an issue of credibility. They hear diplomats on the ground saying one thing and they hear other u. S. Leaders saying something else. Ambassador taylor, would you agree with that, sir. I would. Is there anything youd like to add how it mike mate it more difficult for you to do your job, sir . Our credibility is based on a respect for the United States, and if we damage that respect, then it hurts our credibility
The Ukrainian Government adopted a unilateral position in favor of one candidate. More than that, certain oligarchs certainly with the approval of the Political Leadership funded this candidate or female candidate to be more precise. And if there was ever any doubt about who benefits from this unfounded theory put forward by President Trump and his associates, President Putin made it clear very recently when he said thank god no one is accusing us anymore of interfering in u. S. Elections. Now theyre accusing ukraine. In the face of clear evidence, not only from Intelligence Community experts, but from his own National Security team that russia, not ukraine, interfered in the 2016 election for the benefit of donald trump, President Trump still pressed the Ukrainian Government to announce an investigation into this Conspiracy Theory. Why . Because it would help his own
political standing. President trump even saukt sought to with hold an Oval Office Meeting from the president of ukraine
