Really? Do you have a source for that?

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.

Quote:A White House official who testified in front of the House on Tuesday as part of its impeachment investigation reportedly said the White House’s rough transcript of a July phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky left out key words and phrases.

Three people familiar with the situation told The New York Times that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman testified to congressional investigators that among the omissions were Trump’s assertions that there were recordings of former Vice President Joe Biden discussing Ukrainian corruption and a reference by Zelensky to Burisma Holdings, the energy company on whose board Biden’s son sat.

The Hill

If Trump's conversation with Zelensky was so "perfect", why omit key phrases?

It doesn’t matter one freakin bit if he did say that. Which I have no reason to believe this one guy is accurately describing. The president sets foreign policy. Not some unelected democrat mole listening in on his conversations. So as far as I’m concerned this guy wasted his time and ruined his ability to spy on the presidents conversations for as long as a Republican sits in that chair.
