1. You are assuming that the "Leak" came from within the White House and thus the Putin one could be

....released as well or you are asking why it isn't also being released....

Maybe it's because the leak isn't coming from within the White House, but rather from someone within the Mexican Govt and the Australian Govt?

I thought EPN may have leaked the Mexico call but The Australian call puts it all over the top. That leak is coming from Preibus...the IC or maybe from Russia as a warning? This president is seriously compromised and I think this was released to send him a message. He's a liability and can be blackmailed with the calls that haven't been released...

9. I don't believe that Priebus is foolish enough to leak right now - his time will come where he will

..."talk" and reveal things he knows. I think if he seeks revenge, it will be in a far more methodical way than simply releasing a few embarrassing transcripts of phone calls with Australia and Mexico. I also do not believe it is from Russia. Intelligence Community - yes - maybe - but not necessarily ours.

Remember too that journalists have multiple sources.... and yes, some source, or multiple sources are trying to warn us all.

...that could explain lack of Putin transcript, because someone who leaks something Putin doesn't want leaked is likely to find himself dead.

I believe I read where these transcripts came from the notes of aides who were present. There have been no aides present when talking to Putin.

Also, parts of these calls were leaked months ago. When did the press receive the full transcript? Were they sitting on it?

ALL the trump-rusky-republikers are caught in his investigations, I believe.
Godspeed, Team Mueller

15. Good point - the PUTIN call is probably the most damning

There ones where he insulted our allies appear on the surface to be horrific, but the PUTIN one will further expose his TREASON, probably his being giving his orders and his embracing them.
