Decision to Release Trump Transcript Raises Concerns Over Future Calls

“Diplomacy is tough enough without making it public,” said Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, who listened into such calls while serving under President George H.W. Bush. “They’ve got to be able to do everything from float trial balloons to be critical.

Yes, that’s the appropriate takeaway here. Well done. I’m no “constitutional scholar” but I’m willing to bet the founders would be pretty pissed at how much power the presidency has acquired. Past time to pull it back and install meaningful safeguards.

CFR rules the world

We are proud of President Trump! We support President Trump! Blame Nancy Pelosi & Democrats! America needs President Trump's protection from becoming 'Venezuela' status! Go! Go! Trump/Pence 2020!

Donald Trump is basically running a criminal empire from the White House. Nothing 'chilling' about justice.

Corruption will find a back channel.

It is actually the Democrats who are ruining everything, destroying of trust of other world leaders that their conversations woukd t be advertised in public, they even has not bring USMCA, to vote, if they did give a dam

The whole whistleblower process exists to triage this messaging to the public FFS. It's not that the public will see every transcript of every call, it's that illegal shit said in calls shouldn't be kept confidential. Because, you know, the president is meant to be lawful!?

Why would any foreign leader talk to us if there's no confiditality

released with the agreement of the Ukrainians. And the complaint, whose release was in dispute.

Funny how the experts said the White House should release the whistleblowers complaint to congress instead of this transcript nonsense... It's not legal for the white house to hold up the complaint from congress. If they followed the law there would be no need for a transcript.

Maybe his political opponents shouldn't be listening in then telling the world what they heard.... perhaps?

You shouldn't be telling our President secrets anyhow. He'll use them against you.

It’s chilling only for those with corrupt intent... as it should be.

Then put on a sweater and your big boy pants and deal 🙄

Only when you are requesting foreign leaders to engage in election interference, conspire to solicit bribes or otherwise extort foreign governments. Get the context right wsj
