"I haven't read it." Is this the new "I don't recall?"

[ffr]

This isn't first grade and you can't tell the teacher your dog ate your notes.

Pompeo, republicans up and down congress, Lewendowski, etc, etc, etc,...

Sorry, I'm not buying it. You cannot go anywhere without someone bringing up the WB complaint. It's on the news, it's on the radio played on both RW and public radio, it's in the newspapers, there are memes about it on social media, etc, etc, etc,..

Dems should make it clear before talking to these clowns, that it will be EXPECTED that they read the complaint, since the subject matter of them coming before congress is that of the WB complaint!

1. Puke denial

They're so far up that massive orange ass (and Russkies) that there's nothing else they can do.

But just think — it's all going to fall apart big time really soon! Heh heh heh...

2. Whoever is running the investigation should have it read to them

while they sit and listen. Problem solved.

3. Any Republican who uses this line is derelict in their Constitutional responsibilities

The whistle-blower complaint is only 8-1/2 pages long. It should take less than ten minutes to read.

If a member of Congress says that they haven't read the complaint they're either lying, stupid or fearful. Just the qualities Republicans think we need in our government. (snark)

4. It's the new fingers in ears saying "La-la-la, I can't hear you".

6. Yeah. I call bullshit.

They read it and they know how bad it is.

Given the seriousness of the allegations and that Trump's appointed ICIG and Intelligence Director both called the report credible, anyone who has not read it yet should resign.

7. "Like Donald Trump, I am too embarrassed to admit I have difficulty reading"

8. It's kGOPb speak for "I refuse to read it" nt

9. I used to work for an office manager who claimed ignorance of any problems on the workfloor.

His philosophy was that if he didn't know about the problem, he couldn't be held responsible for not fixing it.

Seemed to work for him. He climbed right up the corporate ladder.

10. They really have no right NOT to read it. It's their friggin' JOB. nt
