Colbert: "They know damn well that every word of my script last night was approved by CBS lawyers who, for the record, approved every script that goes on the air."
Stephen Colbert blasted CBS's denial that it blocked the broadcast of his interview with James Talarico,

"I don't even know what to do with this crap." He then pulled a plastic doggy bag from behind his desk, picked up CBS's statement, tied a knot and mimed tossing it before cutting to commercial.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.
