if we can't address this once and for all, although I have little doubt this lie will kept being pushed. From the BBC (linked below), not exactly fans of Team Trump:

"Who listens to the call?

Traditionally, officials from the US national security council (NSC) brief the president before a call with a foreign leader. Then the briefers sit in the Oval Office with the president while he speaks on the phone with the foreign leader. "At least two members of the NSC are usually present," according to USA Today.

There will also be officials sitting in a secure room in another part of the White House, listening to the president's call and taking notes. Their notes are known as a "memorandum of telephone conversation", and like many things in Washington it has an abbreviation: "memcon".

The president's calls with foreign leaders are also transcribed by computers. Afterwards, as former White House officials explain, the human note takers compare their impressions with an electronic version of the call. The notes from the officials and from the computerised transcriptions are combined into one document. This transcript may not be perfect, but it is done as carefully as time and resources allow.

In the case of the president's phone call with Mr Zelensky, according to the whistleblower's complaint, about a dozen people were listening to their conversation."


Sooooo about a dozen people, plus those transcribing (CIA employees for this one apparently) and those listening on the Ukrainian end, yet not one shred of evidence that this was anything but the actual transcript? Seems odd. Or not. On to your next conspiracy theory I guess.
