Whistleblower 2-page memo on #Ukraine call may indicate White House transcript is not the complete, original version.

1. WB contemporaneous description is extremely accurate recollection of the call
2. WB memo includes two elements that are not in transcript released by WH

1/
2/ The Whistleblower 2-page memo refers to POTUS saying Crowdstrike is "a Ukrainian company."

Notice how that part of the White House transcript contains ellipses. 👇
3/ The Whistleblower 2-page memo refers to POTUS urging Zelenskyy not to fire prosecutor Lutsenko because he's doing a good job.

Notice how part of the White House transcript includes the "very good" job by prosecutor but later contains ellipses👇
4/ The second element (on the Ukraine prosecutor) was also in WB complaint. It is made more significant now given that this was also recorded in the WB's contemporaneous memo.

There is a major irony and point to be made if Trump did press Zelenskyy not to fire Lutsenko...
5/ It would mean:

Trump's _bogus_ claim:

VP Biden pressured Ukraine to fire anti-corruption prosecutor (Shokin) to protect son from investigation

WB memo/complaint:

Pres. Trump pressured Ukraine not to fire corrupt prosecutor (Lutsenko) to smear Biden with false investigation
