Democrats Express Their Grief By Reading The Mueller Report Aloud To An Empty Room
We are firmly in the second stage of grief as angry Democrats decided it’d be a good use of time to read the Mueller report aloud and into the record. This is not being done on the House floor, but in an empty room somewhere at the Capitol. At this rate, we won’t reach acceptance until well into Trump’s second term.
It’s not like the country has real problems going on or anything. We’ve clearly got time for this.
House Democrats are planning to read out loud special counsel Robert Mueller’s redacted report in a marathon session on Thursday.
“We’ve been saying for weeks that if you think there was no obstruction and no collusion, you haven’t read the Mueller report. So the ongoing quest has been, ‘How do we get that story out there while we are waiting for the witnesses to come in?’” Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, Pennsylvania Democrat, told The Washington Post.

"If Nancy Pelosi is in the room and you read a bill, is it still an empty room?

Now, is this the report that only the special council is supposed to be reading? The one that is almost totally unredacted, only meant for about eight people to hear or read? The report that even the congressmen and women not on the council are not supposed to be hearing, let alone the press? I am wondering if that is even legal, if not, how come congressmen and woman can be ignoring the law without being charged with treason.
