He tweeted that we would get the "complete, fully declassified and unredacted transcript", so we can expect either a total forgery or one with several "18-½ minute gap" notations (has to be more than one gap in *his* transcript - he always has to out-Nixon, Nixon on his road to impeachment!)

this stunt with the tapes and they didn’t match.So Trump is trying a stunt from the Nixon playbook
So the transcript is guaranteed to be phoney

there is no good reason to believe that whatever transcript they release now on this matter represents what was actually said -- they have ZERO credibility on the issue of transcript accuracy, and that lack of credibility is ENTIRELY of their own making, and it is ADDITIONAL TO (not merely a part of) Trump's personal propensity for lying.

It won't come off without a hitch.
We will still have to work to get the truth out.

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/09/cnns-jake-tapper-trump-doctored-a-hurricane-map-so-who-knows-if-his-transcript-will-be-complete/

CNN’s Jake Tapper started his Tuesday show “The Lead” explaining why the public is right to suspect whether whatever transcript President Donald Trump releases is valid.

“This afternoon President Trump announced by tweet that he will release the, ‘complete, fully, declassified and unredacted transcript.’ of that phone call with the Ukrainian president tomorrow,” Tapper reported. “Two important caveats on that: One, this is a White House that has falsified information before, from showing a doctored hurricane map to promoting a video that an outside group altered of a CNN reporter. So, who knows if the transcript will actually be complete.”
