I remember back ... I dunno, maybe it was the first or second impeachment? And all the Republican Senators and Representatives were saying, "Oh, I haven't read it" blah blah blah. And someone pointed out, "I don't think they're lying, I really doubt they have read it. But you're an absolute idiot if you think they didn't assign someone on their team to read it and give them the highlights."

So yeah, "I haven't read it" is just code for "This is an uncomfortable subject that will cost my political capital to talk about."
