exchange is from a top diplomat in ukraine, bill taylor and the ambassador to the e.u., gordon sund lund, a major contributor to the president's inaugural committee. i think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign. he said bill, i believe you're incorrect about president trump's intention. he has been crystal clear, no quid pro quo of any kind. he wants to evaluate ukraine will do the reforms. i suggest we stop the back and forth by text. as you mentioned at the top of the show, there is this hard deadline today for compliance by the state department with the three committees oversight, intelligence and foreign affairs for ukraine documents and the reason that matters is that if democrats move ahead with drafting articles of impeachment, this could fall into that bucket of obstruction of congress. >> sandra: a lot to take in there. >> bill: certainly is. andy mccarthy, good morning to you. we're throwing a lot at our viewers, a lot is coming at us every day and hour. where should we put our eyes today? >> i think the best place, bill, would be capito
