The DOJ is handing out CD’s of the redacted Mueller Report tomorrow after Barr’s spin cycle. CD’s. Who even has a compact disc player anymore or an attachment for their computers to read a technology that is as old as cassettes, and DAT tapes?

1. Doesn't he know he needs a 45

For that?

8. Very good!!!

2. Each committee member leader now needs to do this

Hold a separate news conference each right after he gives his propaganda news conference for trump to refute his guilt, and acknowledge his conspiring , his ties to trump with family , and Alfa bank, and suggest he resign for being compromised, and working on behalf of trump instead of working on behalf of the American people. barr is compromised.

3. The AG and drumpf are hoping no one will have a device to

be able to read the Mueller Report. Anything to keep Congress and the American people from knowing the truth. The coverup continues.

12. I have one:)

Compact Disk, VCR, even a Cassette Player! Found them in the closets I have been purging.

13. Most DVD drives on computers can read CD formats.

There is backward compatibility.

In reality, though, I think the reference to CDs is just a misunderstanding. Probably what is being delivered is in DVD data format and Bill Barr simply doesn't know the difference.

CD burner drives are very rare these days. So, probably what was created was DVDs.

[TwilightZone]

15. DVD burners also burn CDs

Depending on the file size, it could indeed be on CDs. If it's a small file, there wouldn't be much point in putting it on DVD other than that the discs are probably more readily available.

[MineralMan]

18. Not all of them do. But, I have not seen any CD-R discs for sale lately.

I think it's just a matter of mis-speaking, really. I'd be willing to bet what will be distributed will be on DVD-R discs.

Why would anyone do otherwise, really? I know the government has a lot of obsolete PCs, but issuing this on CD makes no sense at all.

However, even if it were on CDs, anyone's DVD drive will read the data just fine.

[TwilightZone]

19. "have not seen any CD-R discs for sale lately"

They're still readily available.

21. I didn't say they weren't available. I said I hadn't seen any lately.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Thing is

many if not most newer laptops don't even come with either a CD or DVD reader (or burner) built in so that the laptop itself is lighter in weight (would have to buy separately) and makers have moved to use of USB ports (for USB drives/sticks) or SD/microSD cards that can be read by built-in readers (which is pretty much universally including on new laptops).

They are supposed to be making the file available online for download.

[TwilightZone]

14. "Who even has a compact disc player anymore"

Anyone who has a DVD drive in their computer. They also read CDs.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. The newer laptops don't include those anymore

The desktops usually do but not the laptops (and people have been moving away from desktops lately). The laptops use USB flash drives/sticks or SD card readers now.

25. Good thing one can still buy an external drive for a relatively small sum of money.

26. That's what I did some time ago

It's portable and I use it to do CD to MP3 conversions.

Also the report just released - at least according to the NYT.

[Quackers]

22. Unfortunately, they have to use them.

About 10 years ago, there was classified data that was stolen/lost that was on a thumb drive. Since then, they were deemed a security risk and the government mandated the use of cd drives for data. They even spent millions on special shredders that could shred cd’s as well as paper. I was still in the Army at the time. It was a pain in the ass.
