So, there really isn't a REAL transcript of the July 25th call?

Or is there?

Always assumed that there was a transcript (call it Transcript 1). That they used voice recognition software and then cleaned that up as you would if you used your cell phone mic to create a text message.

Then under pressure thought trump got Barr to do more clean up to create a Transcript 2 that he released.

Always assumed that Transcript 1 was on the secure server and that we had subpoenaed it and would eventually see it.

Per WSJ..

He (Morrison) said he approached White House lawyers after the call ended to ask whether the rough transcript should be closely guarded to prevent its contents from becoming public. The transcript of the call, which was later released by the White House after questions were raised about the conversation, was ultimately placed on a secure server typically reserved for national-security secrets.

This sounds like there is really only one. In fact if you click on the link with the WSJ story you will see the one that dingbat released.

3. Not to allow the public to see the transcript

of the phone call, but to hide it, to me isn't lazy, it's down right damning.

2. The most opaque administration in our history,

We only get to see redacted or edited documents. When are we going to see the Mueller report, the grand jury testimony?

With what was released one can only imagine the incriminating evidence in the complete documents.

A true and full transcript.

Mr. Morrison had a different reaction. He testified he found nothing inherently problematic about the call, but he still went to White House lawyers to express concerns that a record of the call could leak and would be unflattering for the president. He recommended that access to it be limited, and eventually a reconstructed transcript was placed on the White House’s most secure server.

4. Just Transcripts, notes, don't you think there is an audio recording?

“This is a really important call. Everyone take good notes “. “ how about we record it?”

Duh.

6. Don't know anymore. Remember reading when this

First came out that they would have used voice recognition software during meeting. But no one mentioning that lately. But if you read even Trump's version, it's written like it's verbatim. Note from notes. If it were from notes the tone would be, "at that point the president said something like..."

Why does this matter? Strikes me that it does in that there wouldn't be a document of truth to eventually see. It would all be based on individual recollections.

8. There was a digital record at one time, and it should still be on the sekrit server,

but who knows? I'm curious as to why no one has locked that down - or maybe someone has, and we aren't being told about it for whatever reason. Here's a pretty in-depth discussion from earlier this month:
