Richard Haas (Council on Foreign Relations): There probably isn't a "transcript"

[brooklynite]

In his WH experience, there isn't a stenograher writing down every word. An NSA staffer usually listens in and scribbles down contemporaneous notes about key points discussed.

1. In other words

this is bullshit.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. And if there is a recording, there a Rosemary Woods 12-minute gap.

7. Lewandowski: 'I have no obligation to be honest with the media'

4. the transcript isnt going to be factual or complete..in fact most are joking about it.

...so funny to see the trump wh trying to cover this up with sharpies and stupid 'who me?' expressions...

8. There Isn't YET. They're Finishing It Now.

It starts off with pleasantries between the two leaders, then there's a 10-minute exchange about what an attractive and virile man Trump is. Then the Ukrainian President marvels at the massive size of Trump's hands for another 3 minutes. Then there is a 9-minute conversation about how totally innocent Trump is of any and all crimes he's committed.........er, uh.........ACCUSED of committing. Witch hunt, witch hunt, witch hunt. No collusion, no collusion, no collusion. What are you wearing to the big UN gala? Let's go get a beer when you're a town. And end transmission.

9. That's what I've been reading

There is no transcript, just rough notes.

Dotard and co. are setting this up like the Barr memo. They are claiming it's the "transcript" of the call, the media is repeating that lie.

[dalton99a]

11. It will be like the Barr summary. The House should throw it in the trash.
