The White House-released transcript says it is "not a verbatim transcript of a discussion"
From CNN's Pam Brown and Betsy Klein

A senior White House official says the transcript of the call comes from Voice Recognition Software. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the document that it is “not a verbatim transcript of a discussion.”

Additionally, per the senior official, the White House weighed institutional interests against transparency in making the decision to release the call. Note that Ukraine’s President Zelensky gave his permission for the transcript to be released, as well.

1. Voice recognition software my ass. How come Trump speaks in complete sentences in this one?

2. Since the transcript isn't verbatim...

fatso could have said -> You’ll get your money right after you do me this favor... the point is, a transcript that isn’t verbatim isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

3. Yup.

18. What we're reading is the conversation that ran in Chump's head

... so it's the only one that matters to HIM!

23. Well said! nt.

5. That was a "cleaned up" version? What the hell is in the real one?

Trump to the President Zelenskyy

"The President: Well,·she' s going to go through some things. I will. have Mr. Giuliani.give you a call and I am. also going to have.Attorney General Barr call and we will get to· the bottom of it. I'm sure you will figure it out. I heard the prosecutor was treated very badly and he was a very fair prosecutor so good luck with everything. Your. economy is going to get better and better I predict. You have a lot· of assets. It's a great country. I have many Ukrainian friends, their incredible people."

6. Just as good as Barr's Summary of the Mueller Report

As expected, they did not release a full, unredacted version of the transcript. Is anyone surprised?

This is more BS to try to distract. The full whistle-blower report must be delivered to Congress and the whistle-blower needs to appear before the House committees that request their presence.

[orangecrush]

10. Better yet

The whistleblower needs to testify.

[sprinkleeninow]

26. No surprise. Extreme BS called on this. eom

8. Not verbatim? Then what good is it?

That means it's been edited. Or that it's not accurate and that it's missing information (either intentionally or neglectfully).

Ought not there also be recordings?

[orangecrush]

9. Not sure on that...

But you can bet NSA has it!

25. +1

[RockRaven]

11. This is only the parts which the staff wanted documented...

so we are left to imagine what a verbatim transcript might include. This is, to put it mildly, of limited use.

[orangecrush]

13. Exactly.

[FBaggins]

14. I think all telcons say that

I think I remember it from the Kissinger calls.

15. and the 2019 Hugo goes to...

the WH Staff for excellence in science fiction writing!

16. The White House has released a photograph of the recordings being transcribed.

17. Someone has some explaining to do here

This call transcript of the "perfect call" accounts for about 11 minutes of spoken word during a conversation that lasted for 30 mintues

I want to see the White House talking point on why there is about 19 minutes of missing conversation.

This really is starting to look like a stupid version of Watergate now.

How will they explain the missing time?

Memorandum of Phone Conversation: call was 9:03 - 9:33

Estimated time it would take to say all of the words released in the memo: 11 minutes.

27. Yes. Where's the other 19 minutes!

And where are the recordings? I bet there was a recording that since been destroyed. What say you whistleblowers?

19. Translation: bullshit.

21. Yeah well...let's ALL DEMAND to hear the phone call--not this BS

Just like Nixon did with the tapes and how SHOCKING they were when everyone got to hear the REAL DEAL and not some made up transcript fantasy.

[orangecrush]

22. White House calls are no longer recorded

31. Wouldn't it be normal in this situation to release the

exculpatory parts and hide the incriminating ones behind the ellipses, or at least include the them?
