That's the essence of it, isn't it?
(Sort of like how foreign ambassadors are exempt from certain laws while on us soil, I suppose.)
Trump has a conversation with a foreign leader over the phone, says something, and we, the American public, do not have the right to know what it was?
And worse, Congress does not have the right to know.
But that foreign leader has the right to know.
If that's not the working definition of sedition or treason or spying, I don't know what is.
The United States president engaged in "secret" communication with a foreign government, and is deliberately and vigorously denying access by the official legal oversight body, namely the United States Congress, to that information. Thus, the president has elevated a foreign government above our own duly elected Congress.
WTF are we waiting for???
