abroad as a cia officer, i can tell you the people we engaged with, the people we depended upon overseas to protect americans here at home wanted to see us living up to our values, wanted to see us certainly at a bare minimum respecting basic human rights. and if we did that, if we lived up to our values, they wanted to be a part of our efforts, wanted to help us, wanted to be associated with us. the same applies to countries and other partners overseas, individuals and when we don't live up to our values, it harms us, it harms our influence and power on the global stage. and i think these pardons send that message loud and clear around the world which is unfortunate, but hopefully something will change swiftly with the new presidency, a biden presidency. >> ambassador, as pete noticed there, two of the president's pardons involve thogeorge papadopoulos who was on fox business this morning. here is what he said. >> i'm absolutely ecstatic. first and foremost i would like to express how grateful i am to president trump for pardoning me and correcting what i think and what i think many people now with the overwhelming evid
