Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have announced that they haven’t read the entire Mueller report.
Politico:
President Donald Trump can’t give a straight answer about the subject. More than a dozen members of Congress readily admitted to POLITICO that they too have skipped around rather than studying every one of the special counsel report’s 448 pages. And despite the report technically ranking as a best-seller, only a tiny fraction of the American public has actually cracked the cover and really dived in.
“What’s the point?†said Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who like many other lawmakers recently interviewed in the Capitol acknowledged they hadn’t completed their own comprehensive read.
Here are a few more lawmakers saying they haven’t read it
“It’s tedious,†said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who has a copy of Mueller’s work in a large stack of things she turns to for her daily reading. She said she started right away on the report’s first volume detailing the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russians while on a trip to Vietnam, and as of late June she was still plugging along. “In fairness, I haven’t picked it up in at least two weeks.â€
“I’ve got a lot on my reading list,†Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) said as he explained why he’s avoided one of the most highly anticipated reports in recent American history.
Republicans aren’t alone. “I’d be pretty reckless to say I have a full comprehension,†said Rep. David Price (D-N.C.). “I need to spend some more time with it.â€
Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) also said he hadn’t read the whole report. “It is what it is,†he said when asked why.
“I didn’t have to read it. I lived it,†offered Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who was Hillary Clinton’s 2016 vice presidential running mate. “I intended to read cover to cover, but there was nothing in it that was a surprise to me.
I wish we could find out how many have actually read the report. I give these lawmakers credit for being honest because I have no doubt that other lawmakers also haven’t read it.
I think this just goes to show how much the Mueller Probe didn’t matter. Lawmakers from the beginning both knew it was a sham but kept up the charade anyway.
Never forget the conclusions of the report. No Collusion. No Obstruction.
