“Late Show” Stephen Colbert, host of Stephen Colbert says that Donald Trump is in trouble after Jack Smith was appointed special counsel by the Department of Justice.
Smith had a wonderful life, he exclaimed Monday night. “hell of a resume.”
“To take this assignment, he had to leave his current assignment at The Hague, where he investigated war crimes in Kosovo,” Colbert spoke. “So he’s perfect to go after the ex-president – he already has experience with disasters that peaked in the ’90s.”
Smith is being charged with the Mar-a Lago investigation and Jan. 6.
Colbert proceeded to take aim at former Attorney General Bill Barr, who recently told PBS’ Firing Line that he believes that there is “a basis for legitimately indicting” Trump.
“I personally think, I can’t go through this again Bill Barr. I had my heart broken before by you Bill Barr after you redacted the Mueller report,” He laughed. “Well, you can’t redact my feelings!”
“It’s always Mueller time in here,” He added that he was pointing to his heart.
Trump stated recently to Fox News that Trump would. “not partake” In the Special Counsel Investigation, calling it the “worst politicization of justice.”
“Oh, he doesn’t want to partake. You know what, I’m no lawyer, but I didn’t realize that was one of the options,” Colbert quipped. “The suspect does not want to partake in the investigation. Your honor, while admittedly the prosecution does have overwhelming evidence of his guilt, my client is not feeling it.”
