The Liar-In-Chief keeps saying that he released a full transcript of his call to the president of Ukraine, word for word, comma for comma.
But this is what it says right in the memo.
"A Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation.· (TELCON) is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion.
The text in this document records the notes and recollections of Situation Room Duty Officers and-NSC policy staff assigned to listen and memorialize the conversation in written form as the conversation takes place.
A number of factors can affect the accuracy of the record, including poor telecommunications connections and variations in accent and/or interpretation.
The word "inaudible" is used to indicate portions of a conversation that the notetaker was unable to hear."

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a National Security Council official raised concerns about the Trump administration's efforts to push Ukraine to conduct investigations into political rivals, reportedly told Congress on Tuesday that the White House text of a July 25 call between President Trump and the Ukrainian president was missing certain words and phrases.
According to The New York Times, Vindman said the omissions from the call memo included Trump mentioning recordings of former vice president Joe Biden discussing Ukraine corruption and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s explicit mention of Burisma Holdings, the company that had Biden’s son Hunter on its board.
Vindman said there are ellipses in the memo that indicate dropped words, and Trump spoke about tapes of Biden where the third ellipsis is placed.
Instead of the words “Burisma Holdings,” the memo only mentions “the company.”
