Why is the "original" transcript locked in a classified server? Releasing it could clear up the confusion. If Trump is going to read it publicly in a fireside chat - he should be reading from the ORIGINAL transcript - not from a partial summary. If Americans could see and hear the ORIGINAL transcript - they could make up their own minds as to whether they think it was a clear-cut quid pro quo.
White House lawyer John Eisenberg locked the ORIGINAL transcript in a classified server after Lt. Col. Vindman said it wasn't accurate? Eisenberg told Vindman not to discuss the phone call with ANYONE. Why?
Because it has classified information on it.
That's like asking "Why does the pentagon have classified information the rest of the world, including enemies, can't see?"
Because the government engages in stuff, that is classified, and if released could damage relationships with the rest of the world. And especially the Ukraine, given they are still fighting with our enemies. What if the transcript includes supplies of weapons, or other covert support against the Russian back forces in Donesk?
This would inflame the support for Putin, and harm our allies ability to fend them off.
On top of that, in order for our leaders to be able to talk openly with foreign governments, those governments need to know that what they say to our president is not going to be splashed all over the news. If they see that their conversations have no tactful privacy, then you are going to simply not have any open conversations anymore.
No one has given any more evidence to suggest wrong doing by the president, and the transcript was enough for me.
If there is more wrong, then it will come out.
If nothing more comes out, then this is just the left-wing screaming desperately, and having at temper-tantrum that they can't dig up more mythical wrong doing.
