House Democrats reading entire redacted Mueller report out loud in Capitol
ABC News ^ | 5/16/19 | Benjamin Siegel

House Democrats on Thursday launched a marathon 12-hour public reading of Robert Mueller's redacted report in an effort to bring attention to the special counsel's findings as Democrats battle with the Trump administration over investigations into Mueller's conclusions, President Donald Trump's finances and a range of administration policies and actions.

**SNIP**

"The American people need to hear from the report itself," Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Penn., a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said Thursday. "Summaries won't do."

Even as they read from the publicly-released report, Democrats have continued to press for access to more information.

More than two-dozen Democrats planned to take part in the demonstration, which is expected to run through the night and into Friday morning.

Just in time for happy hour.

Those jerks have been called out for NOT reading it. Few earn their salaries. It’s pathetic. Trump should veto their next raise.

Looks like Pelosi wants to lose the House for 2020.

Redacted is secure information. It is breaking the law to make it public by any means. Awaiting arrest warrants.

They should have gotten Andy Kaufman to read it aloud.

Hope one of the RINO’s will take pity on Bobby Rush (D-Chicongo) and help him read it! Pitiful that this is what is called a rep. and casting votes on anything!

I believe they are reading the “redacted version” and not the redacted info. If you finish reading the excerpt it states “the publicly released report”.

As I understand it, the redacted parts are Grand Jury testimony, and by law, that cannot be made public.

Shouldn’t these Congresscritters be arrested?

What do they say when they come to a blacked-out line?

“Blacked out; Blacked out; Blacked out”?
“Black, Black, Black, Black”?
“Redacted, Redacted, Redacted”?
“Wouldn’t you like to know? Wouldn’t you like to know? Wouldn’t you like to know?”

What a bunch of children.
