Trump's transcript of Ukraine call unlikely to be verbatim
Evelyn Farkas, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense during the Obama presidency, said not only would any so-called transcript be based on notes, but it would also likely be incomplete because the note-takers usually do not include issues that could be controversial if they became public.

Typically a note-taker will write notes about what the principal says in a fashion that does not embarrass their principal, said Farkas. A former White House senior official concurred there was unlikely to be a recording.

So basically, the transcript...

1. Will not be word for word.
2. Is based on scattered notes.

3. Is often altered to exclude content that might be embarrassing.

Those are pretty big leaps in logic if you read her statement and came out with those three points.

Yeah you're probably right on the last point, but the first two are solid. Will edit. I've done a lot of transcription work (relating to interviews) when I was a struggling college student, things not being word for word strike me as an inaccurate representation of what actually happened.
