Please avoid the current BS by calling it a "transcript" it is NOT a word for word transcript as it specifically says on the first page
"CAUTION: A Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation.ยท (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. A numper of factors can affect 'the accuracy of the reco?d,
including poor telecommunications connections and variations in accent and/or interpretation.
The word "inaudible" is used to indifate portions of a conversation that the notetaker was unable
to hear."
It is at best a summary/recreation from notes and memories of the listeners. This can be both a positive and/or a negative aspect in the current political bruhaha. If there is a true transcript, it has not been released as yet.
It annoys me that I've seen it stated multiples times "transcript, transcript, transcript" when it is not such. Especially when it's being screamed in a way to skew the perception of the report.
