The system used for these telephonic transcripts includes 4 stenographers who review their notations together to insure the accuracy of the final report.
Wash Post should...
One thing they fail to mention. There was a translator on the call also. So those elipses, or “missing parts” may be when the translator was speaking.
The fact that the transcript was placed under tighter security was probably a response to suspicions that someone was going to try to rewrite the conversation, a rewrite that the whistleblower was relying on to verify his lies.
It says right on the first page that it is not a word-for-word transcript of the conversation. What part of that does the media not comprehend?
Grasping for straws. This means the rest of their case sucks.
Orchestrated event by deep state.
“anonymity”= fake news at best...treasonous spy's at worst...
It really is when we have to get into punctuation.....is that like what the meaning of “is” is?
Another last gasping breath.
It’s amazing that we have allowed liberals to exist at all if they are this grasping and crude.
Drudge is hoping for another “enchanting moment.”
Go back to the candy counter, Matt.
Perhaps if they check they water mark on the paper for microdots, or heat the paper to see if there are any lemon juice secret writings by deep state stenographers..or the NSA can run it through the I CHING secret decoder ring. wait we can just watch them do this on CNN and MSNBC today.
It has been noted in other reports that those dastardly ellipses are pauses in conversation. Grasp some more straws why don’t they?
The “reporters” must have watched the Bond movie Casino Royale; in it Ellipses is the Code Name for a plot by a poker player to take over the world.
The legacy media are trying to create an “18 minute gap” element of doubt in the public’s minds regarding the call summary.
There's a lot packed into this sentence.
The ellipses are highly unusual for such documents.
They don't traditionally appear in such documents.
Anonymous people have said so.
Can the bias be anymore transparent?
I am certain that these transcribers most likely do not use English alphabetic notation to write down what they are hearing. Haven’t these people ever been in court or have had a deposition where a court record is using a machine to record every word that is spoken in a phonetically coded format? It is very accurate in a format they can read back and then transcribe later into a court record. Also, a good stenographer, using shorthand, can get write down spoken words very quickly.
Now, with four of either type of stenographers, listening and taking down either shorthand or using a court recording machine, and then comparing notes to produce the transcript. I think it is quite accurate.
WaPo stopped reporting news years ago. It’s a Pro Leftist Pamphlet, nothing more.
It can’t be a word-for-word transcript, not unless it includes the translations.
Zelensky speaks English, but his English is not as good as it could be, especially with American vernacular and slang. Trump certainly does not speak an Eastern European language well, although he may have picked some up from his Eastern European wife, but it is unlikely it would be too useful in diplomacy, or in another Eastern European country, despite how many languages she knows. President Trump has a tendency to use slang and popular vernacular phrases that would need to be explained to Zelensky by someone who understands the cultural concepts. A direct conversation can be very confusing.
Usually, in official conversations between heads of state, where there are language differences for clarity purposes and to avoid misunderstandings, it is protocol to always use professional translators on both sides. That’s why a 33 minute real-time phone conversation resulted in only a about a two page transcript. Each side translated the English to Ukrainian, and the Ukrainian back to English, with some discussion to assure that the translations were in agreement with the correct meaning. That’s why it is not an exact word-for-word transcript. It is, however, an English transcript of the meaning of what was said. The ellipses represent the interruptions for the translations and the jumps in thought that occur due to the natural thinking that goes on while the pauses for translations are taking place. It’s human nature to lose track of what one was saying prior to the translator jumping in.
