I thought presidential communications with foreign leaders were not recorded on our end. Perhaps the Ukrainians have a recording though.
Yeah, I'd like to see and hear that too. So would congress!
How about Fortune Magazine reporting that both the NY Times and Bloomberg said it? I don't have subscriptions to either of those sources, but I have no reason to doubt Fortune. While people can still question ANY source, these aren't exactly bloggers. The article is about the supposed security of such a system and not about its existence.
According to reporting by the New York Times and Bloomberg, voice transcription software—in conjunction with notes taken by observers in the White House Situation Room—was used to draft the transcript memo. https://fortune.com/2019/09/28/trump-zel...re-secure/
Now, if you're going to argue that Trump somehow manipulated the transcription software or that he managed to have the entire conversation and somehow BRILLIANTLY managed to have the keys that you needed to convict 'inaudible', well... I guess you'll just have to use the HEAVY DUTY foil next time.
Bottom line, we don't know if what the WH released was the whole conversation. And it has a disclaimer right on it. Not saying it's not, just saying we will likely never know unless congress gets access to the secret server somehow with their impeachment inquiry.
Also, if the actual recording is available as you stated, just release the recording.
It was a thirty minute call the "transcript" covers about ten minutes of it.
Reynolds Heavy Duty is my favorite... or maybe you can up the voltage?
I provided proof of my statement. Now you two provide proof of yours.
And don't try and play these stupid games... an electronic transcription is a recording....
Your claim is that 'the proper authorities' don't have access to the entirety of the electronic transcription. I realize that House Democrats, just as they did with the Mueller report and Trump's taxes claim that THEY don't have access to it, but that's not the burden.
Show me where a first hand-account claims that something was said that isn't in the transcript, and what that was. Not their impression of the conversation, but where they claim that Trump specifically said something very consistent with, 'do this or you don't get our money'.
This 'secret server' line is tin-foil at its finest. It was recorded on a governmental server. If you had a claim that it was somehow deleted from this 'official' server, you'd be saying that. You don't, so you make this crap up. Seems pretty obvious that if it were secret, they would have just denied having a recording at all. If they deleted it, even if they saved part of it, THAT would be your claim, not this.
to argue anything else makes you both look insane.
