The WB stated he wasn’t the only non-WH official to receive a readout of the call.
Not sure what readout means...a written synopsis or a verbal retelling ?
If it’s a written synopsis, I’d sure like to see it.
The official transcript was released as “Memorandum of Telephone Conversation”. From the document itself:
“CAUTION: A Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation (TELCON) is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion. The text in this document records the notes and recollections of Situation Room Duty officers and NSC policy staff assigned to listen and memorialize the conversation in written form as the conversation takes place.”
What is head scratchin about the CBS story is they don’t mention it is pretty much hearsay:
The WB said “I did not review a transcript or written notes, but the official informed me that they exist.
The whistleblower wrote that he or she spoke with the White House official for “a few minutes,” and summarized their conversation.
and so it goes...
Everyone should note how the Dems are constructing their legal challenges - to POTUS, to Justice Kavanaugh, to Jussie Smollett, to the Lt. Gov of Virginia, the AG of Minnesota, Keith Ellison. That is the form of justice that will be practiced when and if they ever gain power; forget the Constitution.
I also point out that the kangaroo court structure that Adam Schiff has constructed - secret witnesses, closed door hearings, no Repub participation in process, no presidential civil rights, Dem control of all impeachment information released - all of this mirrors what Hillary wanted done in the Watergate Committee impeachment hearings. She was fired as committee counsel at that time.
That raises questions about just who is writing the script for this travesty of injustice called impeachment inquiry.
