Transcript-Gate:The Deliberate Attempt by the Trump White House to Misrepresent and Hide the Full Transcript of Trumps Ukrainian Call
Dan Bongino on Fox and Friends (10.07.19) claimed the summary of the transcript that the WH released was the entire conversation. He said it is only 11 minutes (of a 30 min. call) because of the time it took the translators to relay the messages. But translators at this level work real-time with the speaker as with speeches the the United Nations.
In fact the whistle-blower claim a full, word-for-word transcript exists. On page 3 of his report. he 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 producedas is customaryby the White House
Situation Room." (Bottom, p. 3):

ABC News claims Trump mentioned Biden eight(8) times, urging Ukraine to help with investigation as did The Wall Street Journal:
The newly released transcript of President Donald Trump's phone call
with Ukraines President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reveals that Trump repeatedly
urged him eight times -- to work with his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani,
to help with investigations, including into former Vice President Joe Biden
and Bidens son.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on Saturday that Trump urged Zelenskiy
to work with Giuliani about eight times during the July 25 call. (All ABC):

https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-defends-conversation-with-ukraine-leader-11568993176 (I couldnt get passed the pay-wall)
Yet Trump on the SUMMARY transcript only mentions Biden one (1) time.
A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your
very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people
involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the_
mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to
call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General.
Rudy very much knows what's happening and he is a very
capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. . . .
(my elision) The other thing. There's a lot of talk about Biden's son,
that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find
out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General
would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the
prosecution so if you can look into it ... It sounds horrible to me.

Where are the seven or so other times? Are they more explicit about quid pro quo? If Trump and his people made the summary we can count on the fact that the other references are more damning to The President. If we got only 11 mins. of a 30 min. call and that was terrible for Trump, imagine what is in the full 30 min. call!
They wanted to rush out the summary so no one would think to ask for (or subpoena) the full, word-for-word transcript of the entire 30 min. conversation.
But now that theyve given us a SUMMARY the subpoena should have great appeal to a judge: after all they represented the summary as indicative of the entire. The Congress has a right to see if this is so.
