Spare me clutching pearls because the J6 final report is delayed.

How long did Trump promise releasing his tax returns. I don't remember the media being so upset.

I want them to make sure it is edited well. Give no place, not one little comma, for attacking its creditability.

because the final report hadn't come out yet for him to talk about, and was speculating about all manner of ulterior motives - when the real reason it's late is almost certainly because it's huge, detailed, and they are trying to be sure there aren't mistakes or omissions - not to mention the surprise appearance of and speech by Zelenskyy and the likelihood that a lot of staff had probably left town for the holiday.

I was getting pretty irritated about what seemed like an attitude of entitlement, like the committee owed the media the release of the report so they could talk about it on their tv shows. As if they'd be instantly able to digest 800 pages enough to say anything useful anyhow.

I thought that there was no person who used longer sentences than St. Paul. Paul at least used commas and semi-colons.

Heilemann goes off on a 3 minute sentence and when he is done I have no idea what his question was?

I broke down and turned on msnbc knowing that Nicolle was off, yes he was very annoying demanding to know where the final report was, he even made it his lead story. There will be no bombshells in the final report, we already saw the good stuff.

But he seemed to be in a snit because he'd been counting on having the report to talk about and didn't have it. A bit much.
