An aim of the plot to extort the newly-elected president of Ukraine was to exonerate the Russians from th.eir involvement in the 2016 elections by forcing Ukraine to "take the rap" for the Capo di Capo of the Russian Mafia, namely Vladamir Putin.
What makes the cabal so egregious, so malevolent, so insidious can be demonstrated by imagining the position of Ukraine had they not been saved, at the last minute, by a whistleblower who scared the Trump Administration into mending their ways. Ukraine would have gained the enmity of the Democrats in the U.S., for many years while at the same time they would get no brownie points from Putin or his underboss, Donald Trump. In all likelihood, a Ukraine independent of the Russian Empire would have become unlikely.
