@BradKutner Just going through the transcript now, as this morning's hearings in the tax-return fight wrapped up.
Developing story on that is up with an update on the way.
I'll share some observations on the transcript in a bit.

@BradKutner As some of my followers are (correctly) noting, it is a readout -- not a transcript.
@BradKutner The five-page document describes it as a "Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation" that lasted 30 minutes.

A notation on the first page has a note of "CAUTION" that it "not a verbatim transcript."
