    Robert Mueller is testifying in front of Congress on Wednesday. The Department of Justice has instructed him to not stray from what’s in the 448 page report. That’s a lot of material that few people have read.

    Nich Carlson, Editor-in-Chief of Insider.com, hired Mark Bowden to turn the Mueller report into a political thriller. Bowden is a journalist known for his book "Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War."

    Now the report has a narrative with conflict, drama, and characters. Some of the scenes are illustrated by Chad Hurd, who works on the TV show "Archer."
