To date the Schiff hearings - unfairly run as they are - show nothing less than a revolt by the Ukraine Desk Bureaucrats in which they concede they are poorly armed with any facts sufficient to overthrow the president, whose only crime was to change the direction of our Ukraine policy in which they'd played a significant role.
While the hearings might have led some to believe that U.S. policy respecting Ukraine has been consistently supportive, the facts are otherwise, and the President's effort to change that has the bureaucrats' dander up.
Mickey Kaus details how then-ambassador Victoria Nuland supported the revolt against elected president Viktor Yanukovych "Who was replaced in a parliamentary vote that was nevertheless short of what was required under the Ukraine constitution to impeach him."
The problem is that the "Interagency" establishment's attitude toward Ukraine has apparently now been transferred to domestic politics, where - led by the same foreign policy establishment, in a controversy not coincidentally involving Ukraine - Democrats are too cavalierly attempting to throw out a constitutionally elected president.
In the US it's how vigorously to resist aggressive Russian attempts to restore the former Soviet empire in Ukraine and elsewhere.
His testimony showed that he was working at cross-purposes with OMB, which was assessing the effectiveness of U.S. assistance to Ukraine.
On the issue of Ukrainian independence, the former ambassador affirmed once again today that President Trump's decision to approve the sale of Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine was critical to the country's ability to defend itself against Russian aggression.
