reading this part in morrison testimony makes me try to remember: did the White House stop generally releasing readouts of POTUS foreign leader calls after the Trump Zelensky 7/25 call? does it date to then? it stopped at some point then became very episodic 
Morrison lawyer Van Gelder to GOP counsel Castor: ..Whether Pres. Trump jeopardized US national security by pressing Ukraine to interfere w/2020 election, & by withholding a WH meeting & military assistance provided by Congress to help Ukraine counter Russian aggression+ cover up
she is saying the above is the scope of the testimony Morrison is prepared to give, and seems to think Castor is trying to ask questions to instead try to possibly identify the whistleblower
Van Gelder: My objection is, it is beyond the scope of his deposition testimony. His subpoena is related to his letter. His letter does not relate to who Vindman spoke to about a call.
Castor: Okay.
Castor: Okay.
Castor asks Morrison if Sondland might have exaggerated how much he was talking to president. but Morrison says he confirmed several of the Sondland Trump conversations occurred.
Q: were there times he indicated he was talking to president when u learned he had not?
Morrison: No.
Q: were there times he indicated he was talking to president when u learned he had not?
Morrison: No.
Morrison: “I took steps early on to protect my people from being dragged into this process...to ensure neither myself nor they would subsequently be accused of coordinating testimony.”
q: when?
Morrison: sometime in august.
q: when?
Morrison: sometime in august.
Morrison seems to suggest by August he suspected there would be some sort of legal/Congressional process over Ukraine he was seeking to shield his team from.
