“Bug-eyed Schiff is running around claiming that the transcript of the phone call isn’t ‘verbatim,’”
From what several in-the-know people have said, these phone calls aren’t recorded. A few people take comprehensive notes by hand — but no recordings.
The procedure was described on Fox News last night. Five people listen to the President’s conversations with foreign leaders and simultaneously type up transcripts. Then they reconcile those transcripts and produce a final official copy. No audio recording is made.
Their hysteria is embarrassing.
