Can you show me any Senator who read this 1000 page report in the 24 hours they were given to read it? Democrat or Republican?
What a farce of an OP.
A copy of the document is locked behind closed doors and the report cannot leave that room. Senators will not be allowed to take a copy outside of the U.S. Capitol to review in their offices or at home this evening. That gives them less than 24 hours to read 1,000 pages at the same time their colleagues are also trying to read it. They would be required to read one-page per minute to read it all in less than 17 hours.

Do you really think there’s one copy? The senators and aids can easily divide up the document.
Where did you get that from? Of course there’s more than one copy. Do you believe any senator voting on Kavanaugh read the entire report in the less than 24 hours they have to read it?
As I posted above:

No one read it. It’s the height of hypocrisy to call out others for not reading a document, when no one has read or was even given the proper amount of time to read it.
Again, the real question is why isn’t the White House allowing the senators enough time to read it?

The very hatchet piece article the dude I was replying to posted....and quoted...
The format Judiciary Committee Republican staff got the first look at the FBI's findings starting at 8 a.m. ET. At 9 a.m. ET, Democrats took over the room. Control of the room is scheduled to rotate, every other hour, for the rest of Thursday.
The staff that is cleared to review the material will provide briefings, likely to groups of senators, and the senators will be able to review the raw 302s themselves. Sen. Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin, told reporters that staff from the office of Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley are reading the report aloud to senators and then other interviews (that aren't being read aloud) are being passed around for senators to look at.
There is only one copy, which is making things interesting.

There is absolutely an executive summary for all Senators. Those cleared to view the report already did so and drafted the Exec summary.
Very good & very valid point WalterTIlley
This FBI's work is not public. It will likely never be public. There will be no summary. There will be no release.
There are 109 people who have clearance to access what was delivered to Capitol Hill at 2:30 Thursday morning -- 100 senators, four majority committee staffers and four minority committee staffers, one committee clerk. That's it.
There is a single copy of the FBI's findings. It is currently in a vault, in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility -- or SCIF, if you'd like to use the Washington short hand. It cannot leave the room.

So no, there were no summaries made of this FBI report. If it’s normal that reports like this are summarized, why didn’t it happen this time?

Time is only a problem because Democrats sat on the accusations for months before making it public. So there's that.
And they're not "making a decision", their minds are all made up already. With or without the FBI investigation.
Please grow up.

You’re saying not giving the senators enough time to read the report is some type of revenge by the White House?

Yes. If the investigation had started as soon as Feinstein got the letter you'd had received this report a long time ago.

Actually, no. But you're free to put words in my mouth if it makes you feel more comfortable.

Why doesn’t the White House give the senators enough time to read it?
Because the democrats isn’t an answer. It’s been entirely up to the White House. Since you say it isn’t revenge against the democrats, what is it then?

Read the executive summary of the FBI’s supplemental investigation into Kavanaugh allegations
Or you talking about a different kind of "summary"?
Nobody has proven that Kavanaugh didn't lie
