And it's just stupid they think it is important enough to read out loud but not important enough to start impeachment proceedings. Sad.

is a lot different than reading a very dry legal report with constant footnoted references to dozens of legal cases throughout US history.

The informed voters will have already read through the report. If they have not, they can download it for free and peruse at their leisure. The uninformed voters will not listen to the reading.

Instead, we should seek ways of wresting control of the narrative spewed by the MSM. We need more sound bites (ear worms). We need more visibility outside the halls of the House.

hearing it read live on TV is a lot different than sitting down and reading a very dry legal 400 page report with constant footnoted references to dozens of legal cases throughout US history.

The Godfather book by Mario Puzo was considered boring and insincere, but when it became a movie, it was an all-time classic and then book sales took off
