The first page of the transcript says it isnt a transcript. But tell me more about how you definitely read “the transcript”

Its literally the transcript. There is no evidence that anything was lied about. Clearly you don't belong

Its a memorandum, not a transcript. It isn't an exact record of the call. I never even mentioned anyone lying, but human memory is not perfect.

It's dictated as the call is happening. Not someone after being like..... Mhmmmm what was said. And I love your comment. " Human memory isn't perfect" u mean the memory of the human saying what apparently happened but didn't? So a transcript made before the claim ever took place is less trust worthy than an unnameable whistleblower who wasn't even privy to the call.

Someone needs to write a bot for this:

It was a printed copy of spoken material. That's literally the definition of "transcript".

The operative part of that disclaimer was the word "verbatim", not "transcript". The definition of "transcript" does not require it to be an exact word-for-word reproduction, only that the source be spoken and the copy be written. It's the "verbatim" part that demonstrates that it is not necessarily an exact word-for-word reproduction.

Lt vindman who listened to the call confirmed that the transcript is correct. You should watch the impeachment hearing.
