In today&#8217;s daily blitzkrieg of information, it&#8217;s hard to find time to read a handful of tweets, let alone a long and winding document outlining possible high crimes and misdemeanors.<\/p>\n<p>Hollywood celebrities tried their hand at drawing attention to the report with a staged reading of the key moments. John Lithgow makes a good Trump:<\/p>\n<p>Vice spent nearly 12 hours reading the whole thing:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/lawmakers-havent-read-mueller-report-politico-2019-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Our representatives aren&#8217;t reading it, either.<\/a> Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said she finds it &#8220;tedious.&#8221; Sen. Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) says he doesn&#8217;t see the point of reading it.<\/p>\n<p>Since none of this is working (and our entire democracy might be at stake), the folks at Insider took another approach. They hired the writer of &#8220;Black Hawk Down&#8221; and an illustrator who works on &#8220;Archer&#8221; to create a more compelling version. This one reads like a thriller and catches the eye like a graphic novel. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/mueller-report-rewritten-trump-russia-mark-bowden-archer-2019-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">You can read the illustrated Mueller Report here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You didn&#8217;t click that, did you?<\/p>\n<p>(Sigh.)<\/p>\n<p>What if we show you another picture from it?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_144310\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-144310\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-144310\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/5d1be9c321a86107d0469753-1334-1459.jpg\" alt=\"Obstruction of justice\" width=\"500\" height=\"547\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-144310\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy: Chad Hurd\/Business Insider<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Will you click now?
