Can someone explain this to me?

The memo of the July 25 phone call is about 10 minutes of a 30 minute call. What about the rest of the call? Is there a recording of the whole call somewhere? In the clouds? Can it not be retrieved? I have watched, listened, read, etc. everything I can and no one addresses this. The call was put on a super secret server, password protected. There has to be a “hard copy” of it. I realize this impeachment is so much more than this one call but I would love if someone can enlighten me on this. We are talking about history here (i.e. Nixon’s 18 minute tape) and I cannot believe the whole call cannot be released. Of course, it will probably go to the SCOTUS like everything else. Any explanations will be appreciated.

Part of the time difference is that there were translators working. So when trump would say something in english, someone would xlate it to ukraininan, and then someone else would xlate the response back to english.

While the call memo has likely been redacted and edited, the witnesses that heard the call said it was "substantially correct". So there were things they remembered either differently or that weren't in the memo, but they didn't make a real difference one way or another.

But no, there are no free range recordings or word for word transcripts. What is stored on the encrypted servers is probably the most accurate record, but we can't see those.
