Can They Bury The Final Report Any More Than This?

Releasing it on a Thursday Night, less than 48 hours before Christmas Eve?

News addicts, and DU addicts will obviously hear about it, but very few others will.

If Breaking News released on a Friday afternoon almost always gets ignored, how about Late Thursday Evening on the East Coast, prior to the biggest Holiday period of the year?

I know they won't, but at this point, should have waited until at least next Tuesday, or even better, Monday January 2nd, when people might actually be paying attention. And a major story like this would usually get extensive coverage on the Sunday news shows, but nobody is going to be watching those on Christmas Day.

Let's put it this way: how much DU howling could we expect if we were told we'd have to wait longer Hekate Dec 2022 #2

It does not really matter when the final report is issued - as long as it's before January 3. TomSlick Dec 2022 #6

2. may have tripped up President Z’s visit

that the printed and Kindle editions won't be out and ready to ship or download until after that. Go on Amazon and check...

Of course one COULD print the pdf document from the government/Congressional website, but who is going to do that, given it will be as much as 800 pages?

Only serious news junkies will read even the executive summary - which is already out. The primary purposes of the final report are to complete the historical record and preserve the evidence. It really doesn't matter when the final report is issued so long as it is before January 3
