If there weren\u2019t enough obstacles already standing between Congress and the results of the special counsel\u2019s multiyear investigation, lawmakers are expecting to need an optical drive to read the document.<\/p>\n

A Justice Department official told the Associated Press<\/a> that a CD containing the Mueller report would be delivered to Congress tomorrow between 11 and noon Eastern. At some point after the CDs are delivered, the report is expected to be made available to the public on the special counsel\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

.@PaulaReidCBS<\/a> reports the Mueller report will be delivered to the Hill on CDs tomorrow.<\/p>\n

House Judiciary Committee staff was prepared for this possibility \u2014 among many \u2014 and checked they still have a computer with a working CD-ROM drive (they do).<\/p>\n

Any Congressional offices running Macs will likely have to huddle up with colleagues who still have a CD-capable drive. Optical drives disappeared<\/a> from Apple computers years ago. With people increasingly reliant on cloud storage over physical storage, they\u2019re no longer as popular on Windows machines either.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow\u2019s version of the report is expected to come with a fair amount of detail redacted throughout, though a portion of Congress may receive a more complete version at a later date. The report\u2019s release on Thursday will be preceded by a press conference hosted by Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. If you ask us, there\u2019s little reason to tune into that event rather than waiting for substantive reporting on the actual contents of the report once it\u2019s out in the wild. Better yet, hunker down and read some of the 400 pages yourself while you wait for thoughtful analyses to materialize.<\/p>\n

Remember: No matter what sound bites start flying tomorrow morning, digesting a dense document like this takes time. Don\u2019t trust anyone who claims to have synthesized the whole thing right off the bat. After all, America has waited this long for the Mueller report to materialize \u2014 letting the dust settle won\u2019t do any harm.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
