Colbert makes the most important point: whatever CBS was hoping to do (*ie make Trump happy*), withholding the interview backfired. Multitudes more people will end up seeing the interview now. Good.

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:
"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."
He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

Chi nasce di febbraio non irrompe ma affiora.
È il mese stesso che si fa persona:
breve, obliquo, ostinato,
una carne che ha imparato a splendere
nel fondo nero che precede l'alba.

“There’s been public reporting that Jeffrey Epstein showed people photos of Trump with half-naked young women. Do you know if the FBI found those photos in their search of Epstein’s safe or premises? Have you seen any such thing?”

I’m old enough to remember when Pam Bondi announced that she was going to release the Epstein files.
