The Hill: A group of more than 20 Democratic lawmakers are planning a marathon-style reading of special counsel Robert Mueller‘s redacted report at the Capitol on Thursday.
The office of Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pa.), the vice chairwoman of the House Judiciary Committee, confirmed the plans to The Hill on Tuesday.
Scanlon told The Washington Post that she devised the plan because of the “no collusion” and “no obstruction” claims made in the wake of the Mueller report.
“We’ve been saying for weeks that if you think there was no obstruction and no collusion, you haven’t read the Mueller report,” Scanlon said. “So the ongoing quest has been, ‘How do we get that story out there while we are waiting for the witnesses to come in?'”
Scanlon added that lawmakers would conduct the reading in the House Rules Committee Room inside the Capitol. She said the group would read all 448 pages of the report and that the reading would stretch between 12 and 14 hours.
Scanlon will open the reading, with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) following. Scanlon said more Democratic lawmakers would likely volunteer to take part in the reading.
“I’d be amazed if even 1 percent of the American people have read the Mueller report, in part or in its entirety,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told the Post. Raskin reportedly volunteered to read the final pages of the report.
“We have to catch up the American people any way we can. I would hope this would spur reading of the Mueller report all over the country,” he added. more here
20, huh?
Guess that’s all they could find that can read at an adequate level.
Yawn.
Now if they want to read Jimmy Comey’s Dear Diary excerpts I’ll tune in.
….and here is an inside look at the reading

They have more than a few members who probably can’t read.
So they think reading a document that exonerates the president will paint the president in a bad light? Am I missing something or am I just having trouble understanding the mind of demented progs?
Agit-Prop.
Pure and simple.
The Media will pretend that this is some Earth-shaking shit even though it will be roundly ignored by the humans. They can’t bring themselves to do anything constructive – so this is their fall-back position. Lazy, worthless, cocksuckers.

Well, bang away, Demonrat morons, we don’t have to listen.
izlamo delenda est …
They think this will help???
I assume they will ‘redact’ the parts they don’t like as they read it.
Must see teevee! Talk about a bunch of losers.
Left Coast Dan- I thought the same thing. lol.
I’m sure if they do it it’ll be a lot of, “uhhh this part isn’t necessary… ” *5 minutes of silence*
I advise they first train for this marathon. But they won’t, they’re so woke.
Let me guess, there will be trigger warnings before reading, “Trump did not collude,” and then inform the audience of about 50 deranged wokies to “read between the lines,” as if it’s supposed to mean something other than what it says.
Let me see if I understand this. They are going to read a document that they want to punish the AG for not releasing . Doesn’t that mean that they have it?
And if they read the grand jury parts, won’t that mean they have violated the law?
Oh, that’s right. The punish conservatives for NOT violating the law while they DO violate the law.
Why didn’t they publicly read the entire obamacare law since it was so amazing?
“I’d be amazed if even 1 percent of the American people have read the Mueller report, in part or in its entirety,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told the Post.
Which, if didn’t have misfiring synapses, would tell you just how much the American people care.
I wonder if they’ll need help with the big words?
What is this, some kind of billyfuster – – I mean, filibuster?
Is this another Dem sit-in or walk-out or let’s-all-dress-in-the-same-color thing? Why can’t they do something original to increase interest? Like handcuff themselves together and jump in the Potomac?
You people read it then get back to me.take your time i dont really care anymore. 🤔🙄
Typical scumbag dems.
They think most of the country doesn’t know how to read when in fact we just don’t give a fcuk.
I hope they get Hank Johnson, John Lewis, and Maxine Waters to read some. That would be pure comedy gold.

An excellent question that needs no answer.
Go ahead and do it. I’ll read the transcript. Oh, wait. It’s already published!

How bout resist we much Al Sharton as an oral reader, too?
They will have to use lots of illustrations and small words for the 20 they did find who can allegedly read.
An excellent use of their time.
I hope Mueller et alia didn’t use too many words that the readers and/or the listeners won’t understand. A vocabulary of maybe 1000 words should be assumed when addressing Ds. And a strong southern accent, according to D leadership.
“We’ve been saying for weeks that if you think there was [no] obstruction and [no] collusion, you haven’t read the Mueller report,” Scanlon said.
[delete this word]
There. Semi-fixed it for ya. Yer semi-welcome.
We needed this for Obamacare, but we’re assur we needed to pass it to see what was in it.
Oh they have the reading skill adequate to recognize the words, but they have no comprehension of what the sentences mean. Which probably explains why they never read the bills they vote to approve or not approve. Their temper tantrums are tiresome and a great danger to the country.
Long as they read the A-G’s indictment of them WHEN it comes down, they can go nuts. 😉
Are they providing chicken dinners for the listeners?
They can read? I’m stunned.
Good God, they’ve gone around the bend. (with apologies to my granny)
Sounds like a thrilling watch! Too bad I don’t smoke dope anymore…….

At least he accomplished a real purpose.
