FBI Director Christopher Wray said Thursday that “I have not” read special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report on Russian election meddling and related matters. Wray testified to as much during a hearing before the House Appropriations Committee’s Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee.
.@RepCharlieCrist: "You're under the Department of Justice, right?"
FBI Director Wray: "Yes, the FBI is part of the Justice Department."
Crist: "Have you had an occasion to read the Mueller Report?"
Wray: "I have not."

Wray must not have any curiosity or doesn’t want to know.
I think if I were Wray maybe I wouldn’t want to have read the thing until after it’s released so that I don’t have to testify to anything in it.
Um… has he been provided with the report? Is he entitled or empowered to ask for one? Is a copy sitting on his desk and he’s just been too busy?
It’s impossible to evaluate his statement in isolation from any other information.
No, and no.
Not TPM’s best article ever, no.
