The transcript that Schiff "parodied" was not a transcript.

It was a memo of the transcript. It was not word for word.

Schiff "parody" may have been closer to the actual transcript?

In the parody, Schiff said Trump mentioned dirt on the Bidens 8 different times? In the memo turned over by the White House, it was mentioned only once?

Which is more accurate? Schiff's "parody" ? Or Trump's edited "transcript"?

Schiff's "parody" may be closer to the truth?

Agree. Schiff captured the spirit and intent of the conversation completely. Mike 03 Oct 2019 #1

That's why it enraged Trump. Also, it was funny, and Trump HATES to be ridiculed. You can fear him, you can hate him, but just don't laugh at him.

Schiff knows his parody is true and so does Trump, which is why Trump is so focused on it.

At some point, we're going to get the other 19 minutes and it's going to be the ballgame (I hope).

We have only seen the part cherry-picked by the White House.

who don't bother to read. As long as it "sounds" like tRump may have a grievance, or an excuse or some kind of defense, then his ignorant base can go on knowing hair twitler is handling everything.
