Did Congress read the Mueller report? More than a quarter of these key lawmakers won’t say.

,” arguing that the stark partisan divide over the findings was because “few members of Congress have read the report.”

Three out of the four Republican chairmen or ranking GOP members on the Judiciary and Intelligence committees did not respond when asked how they reviewed the report, while one senior Democratic senator said he has read the executive summaries but not the full report with redactions.

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon took notes on her copy of the Mueller report. Scanlon and her office organized a marathon reading of the Mueller report in May. Sen. Christopher A. Coons of the Judiciary Committee did not read the entire report himself, according to spokesman Sean Colt, who said Coons “personally read the key portions of the redacted Mueller report and was briefed extensively by staff and legal experts on the full report.”

Rep. André Carson said he was briefed by senior staffers who read the report, but spokesman Copeland Tucker said they are “unable to speak about the internal proceedings and activities in the House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee.”

Do they know how to read?

They did not. Because they already knew the entire investigation was a hoax.

lol SenMikeLee knows he would get 3 pages in before any public statement he made on it would be proven false

Hiw can they when POTUS, TRUMP GOP TEFUSES TO TELEASE ENTIRE REPORT!!!

Republican or Democrat.. if they haven't done their duty by at least reading this really important report... They should leave Congress. If they've not read it then they are afraid it will pique their consciences.

They won’t say because they didn’t. This isn’t hard.

Why should they read; their president never does....

I’ll bet they didn’t read the report

They should at least click on the link to listen to it if they're that lazy!

Seems Justin Amash is the only republican that has.

Democrats can't read

May the question to ask: Can Congress even READ period?

Neither did Barr.

Why would they read it. They all know the whole investigation was a hoax from the beginning.

Oh yeah...

If they read it, they couldnt keep lying about it without being charged w perjury. Willful ignorance.

Short answer? No

Yes! I knew they were to lazy. You can’t read it and say Trump is innocent.

Full Mueller report must be ... asap ... on the desk of every member of the Congress/Senate. 😐

michikokakutani like looking in the mirror ... too painful for these Rs ...

If I have read it in 🇨🇦you would think this was the least they can do. They all just want to ignore it

And the tax payers pay them for.....?

No. I’m trying to get through the summaries. They are damping for Trump etc.

Republicans are immoral degenerates. They’re not interested in truth or justice. Democrats we know refused BILL BARR offer to read unredacted report why...so they can do what they done...and liberal media being what it is 'garbage' doesnt worry about it. Well, to be fair, any Republican Congressman who admits to reading... anything... can pretty much kiss their political career goodbye.
