Not at all. There are a dozen or so state dept. and NSC staff on these calls plus translators.
quote:
In the two-page, single-spaced memo on July 26, the day after the Trump-Zelensky phone call, the whistleblower wrote: “The following is a record of a conversation I had this afternoon with a White House official about the telephone call yesterday morning between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.”
The whistleblower wrote that the conversation with the unnamed White House official “only lasted a few minutes, and as a result, I only received highlights.”
Staying with your theory...I wonder if those whose job it is not to judge but to transcribe and interpret....when Obama offered up a terrorist trade for Bowe Bergdahl and cash and gold bars to Iran were calling it crazy and frightening?

There are 1300 people who work in the WH who could be considered "White House officials" in a piece like this. I'm not saying that it couldn't be a cabinet member (Pompeo was on the call), but official NSC duty officers listen in and clean up the voice-to-text computer transcripts. Ambassador's staffs are often on these. There are translators. We just don't know who this was yet.
