Watch live: House Democrats conduct marathon reading of redacted Mueller report

[JaneQPublic]

From The Hill:

House Democrats on Thursday are holding a marathon reading of special counsel Robert Mueller’s redacted 448-page report in a Capitol hearing room.

Since the release of the redacted report last month, the Democratic House has been engaged in a showdown to obtain the unredacted report and its underlying evidence. Lawmakers said they wanted to hold the reading in response to claims by supporters of President Trump that the report exonerated him of collusion or obstruction of justice, despite Mueller’s conclusion that his team could not exonerate Trump on obstruction.

1. K&R

Although we do need the unredacted report, there's plenty to prove Trump et al's crimes in this version.

2. They should recording these readings as an audio book. (nt)

3. Would anyone speak to why they do this. How does this help us?

I'm curious why I occasionally hear that something is "read into the congressional record".

4. Hmm, so far you've gotten 'silence' as reply....

... my guess is trying to keep it in the news...

... it makes me wince

5. Why does it make you "wince"? (nt)

6. According to the cited article...

"Lawmakers said they wanted to hold the reading in response to claims by supporters of President Trump that the report exonerated him of collusion or obstruction of justice, despite Mueller’s conclusion that his team could not exonerate Trump on obstruction."

It's a smart move. Trump and his many sycophants in the White House and Congress keep insisting it's "case closed" and "time to move on" because of their oft-repeated lie that the Mueller Report says Trump didn't collude with Russians or obstruct justice.

When only about 3 percent of the public have actually read the report and are thus more apt to believe GOP lies, then it's not unreasonable for Dems to read it to them so they can hear the truth.

9. Funny but when I finally got chance to look at this and started streaming from CSPAN

I caught it right when one of my sisters' congresswomen was reading this (Madeleine Dean), just before Maxine Waters came on.

Ms. Dean is brand new and serving in a newly-redrawn district that was un-gerrymandered last year here in SE PA.

10. I had it on from the beginning

I wasn't watching but I was listening while I cleaned two rooms.

It needs some likes

11. I usually do that too

put stuff on in the background (got that habit from my Mom who did that all the time). Was in and out repotting 3 citrus trees that I have on my patio in between MIRT duties but didn't get chance to get this on.
