6. DU had a long argument years ago about the propriety of

requiring that Stingers and other US-supplied arms be warehoused quite a distance from the line of control in 2017.

One thing that wasn't discussed was who authorized the Stingers and other arms to first be shipped to Ukraine, and when they were authorized.

8. bot sure if you ate agreeing or disagreeing

but the idea was to say Biden and his son were somehow involved in crimes in Ukraine and Trump wanted Zelensky to say they were actively investigating Biden and that Biden helped get a prosecutor fired because he was about to uncover his misdeeds when it was actually because the prosecutor was so corrupt.
