Colbert: Trump Will Be in Big Trouble If Mueller Doesn’t Accept the $130K Hush Money

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: "And things are only gonna get spicier from this point out— and this is just in— “The Washington Post” is reporting Mueller is seeking to question trump himself about firing Flynn and Comey. Yeah, yeah. That’s going to be big. Yeah, it’s going to be big because it’s not only going to be about Flynn and Comey. He is also going to question him on the other question firing. “Mr. President, in season 12, why would you fire Debbie Gibson even though Arsenio hall lost a blank check from Jay Leno? The public deserves to know!” That’s my Mueller. This could be very bad for trump, especially if Mueller doesn’t take the $130,000 in hush money. And his legal team is nervous trump might perjure himself, due to trump’s lack of precision in his speech and his penchant for hyperbole, which trump disputes. “Believe me, I am the least hyperbolic person ever born. And many people— everybody— I’m hearing this from everyone— everyone is saying my precision is the biggest number, whatever that is!” Now, after— “All of them. It’s big and it’s the best.” After the firing of Flynn and Comey, Mueller has expressed interest in trump’s efforts to remove Jeff Sessions as attorney general or pressure him into quitting in order to determine whether there was a pattern of behavior by the president. And if he finds one, the president migh getting a new pattern of his own."
