President Trump said Wednesday that his controversial July call with his Ukrainian counterpart was transcribed word-for-word, comma-for-comma, an assertion that fueled growing questions about the nature and completeness of an official memorandum about the call released by the White House last week.
This is an exact word-for-word transcript of the conversation, taken by very talented stenographers, Trump said.
White House officials previously had portrayed the document as not a verbatim transcription but rather a summary that closely tracked the words the president used in his July 25 call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. They said it was being released in a bid to bring transparency and clarity to a call at the heart of a consuming political scandal that has sparked a House impeachment investigation.
But the whistleblower complaint that spurred the investigation described an official word-for-word transcript of the call words closely matching the ones used by Trump on Wednesday creating uncertainty about what was included in the document the White House released last week and what may have been left out.
Current and former U.S. officials studying the document pointed to several elements that, they say, indicate that the document may have been handled in an unusual way.
Those include the use of ellipses punctuation indicating that information has been deleted for clarity or other reasons that traditionally have not appeared in summaries of presidential calls with foreign leaders, according to the current and former officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the elaborate, non-public process.

The Rats fell for that Eight times poison pill. Trump knows exactly who the liar is. It is the one that heard eight times.
These pieces of human garbage in the lying media will throw anything against the wall praying something will stick.
The media was hoping that the transcript contained an explicit statement from the president stating that he was breaking the law and didn’t care because getting Joe Biden was his number one priority. Since such a statement does not appear in the transcript, the media has deduced that the statement was removed and that Trump needs to be impeached.
Interesting that Drudge is now highlighting things that the National Enquirer wouldn’t publish.
eh? Rough transcript?
It’s called a transcript, not a script. Trump isn’t in the media reporting “news”, he is the news lol!
When I saw WASHINGTON POST. I said...nah...
Ellipses may also be used to show a pause or a change in thought. They don't necessarily represent a "deletion," but I'm sure that CNN will spend hours debating ellipses today, and wonder about "what other treasonous words did Trump say...only to have his stenographer delete them? Hmmmm."
They didn’t seem too concerned when the pdf “image” of Zero’s “original” birth certificate turned out to be a multi-layered digital document.
Or when Dan Blather purported a letter containing modern computer fonts was from the 60s.
Why the scrutiny now?
Washington post and the people there are traitors. Liars the lot.

If used the ellipses would usually be in place of “filler” in a conversation. Things such as “err”, “hmm”, and so forth. Also we have once again that ever more famous Mr Anonymous as the source.
Another desperation hail Mary by the media morons.
My best friend is a transcriber....indexes Law Books. She does 120 wpm.
Trump talks quite slow....and pauses a lot.
Heard there was more than one transcriber....they compare notes and resolve and then pass it to some big wig who further resolves.
And then I wonder if anybody in the "media" knows what stenography symbols look like?
but I’m sure that CNN will spend hours debating ellipses today

Ellipses are... wait for it... a racist white nationalist dogwhistle.
Hilarious
Anyone who says that has never seen a transcript of an official conversation or, even more likely, chooses not to acknowledge that it’s perfectly normal. Even more likely, however, that it doesn’t make a difference.
Let’s see some transcripts of Adam Schitthead’s conversations and subpoena some of Schitt’s “extensive evidence” of collusion. I fervently hope Rudy really does file a lawsuit...

Dan Bongino had a great line the other day, riffing on the Washington Composts stupid ad reading Democracy dies in the darkness.
He said, They ARE the darkness!
This is an exact word-for-word transcript of the conversation, taken by very talented stenographers, Trump said.
What am I missing here? This isn't true.
