The public will finally get to see Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on Thursday afternoon — well, a colorfully redacted version, hours after Attorney General William Barr has offered yet another preview of its conclusions and President Trump's lawyers have released their rebuttal. Congress will get the report on CD and the public will then get access to a PDF (presumably), but if you don't want to read all 400 pages of the Mueller report, Audible has promised a free audiobook version.

Stephen Colbert's Late Show offered a preview of that audiobook on Wednesday night, and it figured out a clever way to highlight how annoying all the redactions will be. Like, seriously annoying. Watch below. Peter Weber
