How many copies of MUELLER REPORT do you think were downloaded? 100/200 MIL, a BILL?

[Centerleftfl]

I had no idea. I figure if it got a headline it had to be a LITTLE or A LOT. My mailperson left a notice in the mailbox this very afternoon that my 'hard copy' is awaiting me at the post office along with some other Amazon stuff. How is my copy counted? Maybe my copy is among the copies of the ONE or more 'download' AMAZON need to keep printing copies.

We know of course a whole bunch of FOREIGNERS in and around TRUMP and HIS campaign did some fast and furious downloading but that ain't what drove it to 800MILL. (Putin will probably have his copy leather bound).

We found out how many times the Mueller report has been downloaded

POLITICO used a Freedom of Information Act request to find out just how much interest the Russia report generated.

The world anxiously awaited the end of Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, and a new eye-popping metric shows just how much that anticipation turned into actual downloads.

According to data obtained by POLITICO under the Freedom of Information Act, the special counsel’s final report was downloaded nearly 800 million times from DOJ’s website between its public release in mid-April and early July.

Not surprisingly, the highest number of downloads came on April 18, the day Attorney General William Barr released a redacted version of Mueller’s report. DOJ counted more than 644 million hits on that day alone.

But the traffic kept up after that, too. On April 19, there were more than 101 million downloads from people coming directly to DOJ’s webpage, as well as from links from other sources. Monster numbers continued each subsequent day too, with more than 25 million downloads on April 20, 10 million on April 21, and nearly 13 million on April 22.
Daily downloads of the Mueller report were largely in the tens of thousands after the initial week of its release and all the way through July 3, which is the cutoff day that DOJ stopped counting for POLITICO’s FOIA request. A couple of spikes happened surrounding Mueller’s first public remarks about his probe in late May, with more than 179,000 downloads the day of his remarks and more than 370,000 in the two days that followed.

The DOJ numbers released under FOIA do not account for multiple downloads from the same computer. The department also said that data on the amount of time anyone spent on the Mueller report was unavailable.

Still, the numbers reflect an overwhelming interest in obtaining a document nearly two years in the making that consumed Donald Trump’s White House and has since helped to kickstart a House impeachment investigation.

Amazingly, for all that traffic, the Justice Department website and the Mueller homepage did not go down during any of the peak periods. “We were ready to go that day,” said a senior DOJ official who added that the department “took appropriate measures” in anticipation of the high interest in the Russia probe. Another DOJ source explained that the department’s use of so-called “edge servers” helped relieve the strain on its primary justice.gov server.

Many many leaves from the poisonous 'tree' are wending their way through the courts and CONGRESS. Lots more trees will give their lives for TRUMP.

Congress ( Nadler) is desperately searching for.....something to grasp....SDNY wrapped up their case with no indictments

Wow. 800 million. Wow. That's a LOT.

There's only 320 million Americans.

And we know darn well most of them didn't bother.

Who in the world is so interested in this?

I would not have been surprised to learn the number was well fewer than 100,000.

Keep 'grasping' at that one.

It's ancient history except to sad sacks like Gonzoman, Centre Loony and Reagan's Gonads.

Maybe someone should send Mullet a copy lol.

[PostmodernProphet]

800 million copies and the JPP lib'ruls still haven't read it..........lol.....

[canceled.2021.2]

Interesting.

Sorta flies in the face of the leftist trope that "nobody read the Mueller report"

Also makes things worse for the leftists in that if that many people actually read it and leftists still can't impeach Trump over it, then it shows what a nothing burger Muller's report really was.

Want to know what a nothing burger Muller's report was? Look at all the "white nationalist" hysteria coming from the left

[reagansghost]

Nadler's House Trump impeachment investigation is moving along nicely - over 120 reps now on board, and growing

tick tick tick tick tick...…….

Maybe someone should send Mullet a copy lol.

Indeed, he didn't appear to know what was in it.

Hello Darth,

You're thinking way too small. There are NEWSPAPERS and TV STATIONS and political 'sites' and libraries and state governments in all 50 and BOOK PUBLISHERS and foreigners and and...
