NSC Official Tom Morrison, Who Listened In on Ukraine Call: Nothing I Heard Was Illegal or Suspicious

Weird that Adam Schiff didn't leak this, and that the fake news media isn't reporting it.

A top National Security Council (NSC) official who listened to President Donald Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky testified to Congress today that he did not believe Trump had discussed anything illegal during the conversation.

"I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed," former NSC Senior Director for European Affairs Tim Morrison testified today, according to a record of his remarks obtained by The Federalist.

Let me break a little news myself:

A source with knowledge of the testimony in these fake impeachment hearings tells me that there were four professional transcribers who were listening in on the call, for purposes of preparing a written transcript. The four people wrote down what they each heard, then brought their transcriptions together, harmonized them, and decided as a group what the best transcript of the call was.

(This was not told to me, but I imagine that Vindman was the one complaining that the transcript had been put into the top-secret classification, and I'm going to guess it was placed there because people got tired of him having access to it and proposing to add things to it that no one else heard.)

That's standard protocol. Apparently they don't tape these recordings. That's why they have people transcribing the calls in real time.

They all agreed on the transcript that Trump released.

Now, they specifically refute Vindman's claim that there were Secret Messages during that phone call that were not included in the transcript. Vindman kept attempting to change the transcript, or add his notes of whatever auditory hallucination his Deep State pals told him that he heard, and the four transcribers kept rejecting them, saying "that wasn't said" or "none of us heard that" or the like.

All four of them denied this.

All four.

One, two, three, four.

Tell me:

Are four random civil servant transcribers all part of the Trump campaign? Has Trump "gotten" to them all?

Is Bill Barr blackmailing them?

Or is the grandstanding leaker Vindman perhaps a bit... confused?

Bolton's Guy? Tom Servo says that Morrison's testimony might be an indicator of what Bolton will say, and will not say.

31 The reason this is significant - Morrison is one of Bolton's guys, and his testimony is believed to be representative of whatever Bolton will say.

Many leaks and "anonymous sources" have been making claims about what Bolton will say, but he has not directly said anything yet.
