Even if we just blindly believe the CIA here, this doesn't mean anything. Maybe the CIA **did ** tell Ukraine not to do it as the story says, but then someone higher up at the CIA overruled that later. Or maybe the CIA didn't want Ukraine to do it because they wanted to do it themselves in a more professional way. Or to find a 3rd party that would do it instead. Or to just wait and do it latter. Just the statement "we told them not to do it at this specific point" only implies that Ukraine and the CIA had plans and motivation to do it, but the CIA didn't want to do it at that specific point or in that specific way.

You gotta wonder what Chris Hayes, an experienced and presumably knowledgeable political commentator, thinks this means. Is the idea that geopolitical factions are typically split along continent lines, so much so that Europe and North America agreeing on something makes it more plausible?
