Will Committee subpoena the "full transcript"?

[kentuck]

They have seen very little of it so far. Just what was cherry-picked by the White House.

Reportedly, there were eight instances in the phone call where Trump asked Zelensky to help investigate for dirt on Bidens. How many have we seen thus far?

The Committee needs to see the full transcript. It could help illuminate the case against Trump and he knows it.

It would be very, very helpful if we could see the full transcript.

'Where Are the Stenographer Notes?': Questions Percolate After Trump Says White House Released 'Word for Word' Transcript

The White House previously said the document showing the conversation between Trump and Ukraine's president was a memo summarizing what was said on the call, but was not verbatim.

President Donald Trump claimed Wednesday afternoon that the White House last month released an "exact transcript" of his July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, raising more questions about the still-unfolding scandal.

When the White House released on September 25 a readout of the conversation, it called the document a "memo," and many observers said it likely did not capture the full conversation. The whistleblower has also asserted that, in a break from the norm, the official transcript was put in a classified system.

Trump, speaking to press alongside Finnish President Sauli Niinistö Wednesday, said the transcription was done "by very, very talented people, word for word, comma for comma."

Journalist Natasha Bertrand, on Twitter, said that if it was in fact a "transcript" the White House released, it is "unclear why the White House wouldn't characterize it as such."

2. Yes if was such a

perfect call where's the rest ?

3. It should be subpoenaed.

They probably won't get it, but they should demand it. In fact, they should demand everything they possibly can. That way, they can use the White House's refusal to turn over things as elements of their obstruction paragraphs in the impeachment.

4. Absolutely!

And it would keep Trump off-balance. He hates playing defense.

5. We only received 11 of the 30 minutes.

On Morning Joe today, Congressman Subramanian Raja Krishnamoorthi (D. Illinois) was making this case clearly even telling how the actual transcription occurred with voice-recognition software and editing.

The whistleblower also noted its existence. Toward the bottom of page three of the complaint he or she writes:

"In the days following the phone call, I learned from multiple U.S. officials that senior White House officials had intervened to 'lock down' all records of the phone call, especially the official word-for-word transcript of the call that was produced—as is customary—by the White House Situation Room."

Congressman Agnus King also noted its existence:

We only got what the WH wanted us to get (approx. 11 minutes of a 30-min. call) and that was terrible for them. Imagine what is in the full 30 min. call!

I was heartened by Congressman Krishnamoorthi's attention to this and it assures me Schiff knows and will probably subpoena the full transcript.
