It's seeming to me that the goal is to create enough confusion around
Russian election interference, especially by bringing Ukraine into the mix, so that at some point soon, sanctions on Putin can be lifted with the reasoning that there's just too much uncertainty for the sanctions to remain.
The icing for this will be the "peace agreement" between Ukraine and Russia.
I think this is really what Rudy and Pompeo and everyone else have been mobilized to accomplish.
Trump figures Putin will then not have any choice but to help him again in 2020.
