30 minutes of conversation don’t fit on five A4 pages - normal conversations are at around 130 words per minutes, and there are sub-2000 words in that memo (30 minutes x 130 wpm = 3900 words).
From the bottom of first page of the memo

The White House has, apparently accidently, just sent its damage control talking points about the Ukraine matter to ... HOUSE DEMOCRATS.
Who have now released that information to the press and social media.
And apparently the White House just now sent a follow-up email trying to recall the original email.
Interesting times...
