Stephen Colbert Thoroughly Debunks Trump’s ‘Wild’ Jeffrey Epstein Conspiracy Theory

Stephen Colbert didn’t know he could still be “shocked” by President Trump’s behavior. Then this weekend happened.
“It’s kind of nice, you know, after all these years he can still keep the relationship fresh,” the Late Show host said on Monday night. “Just when you think he’s been around for a while and you’re not going to be shocked by him anymore, he pops up and scares the bejesus out of you!”
Colbert was referring to Trump’s decision to retweet a wild conspiracy theory claiming the Clintons were responsible for accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s prison suicide.
Fox News Host Confronts Kellyanne Conway on Trump’s Epstein Retweet
“Epstein knew a lot of powerful and important people,” the host explained, including Alan Dershowitz, former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, and Prince Andrew, as well as President Bill Clinton and President Donald Trump. “It’s a who’s who of ‘who’s Jeffrey Epstein? I’ve never met Jeffrey Epstein!’”
The host noted that Epstein’s death has set off a “wild wave of conspiracy theories online, the sort of stuff that only unstable, tin foil hat loons could possibly believe.” Then came the punchline: “So, Donald Trump…”
“Really?!” Colbert said in response to Trump’s irresponsible retweet. “That’s your theory? I’m not saying the Clintons don’t have any power. They could definitely get a reservation at any restaurant in New York City. Party of four on a Saturday night at 7 o’clock, maybe not. But masterminding a scheme to assassinate a high-profile prisoner in a maximum security federal custody? They couldn’t even mastermind a visit to Wisconsin.”
Imitating Trump, the host said, “Follow me down the rabbit hole here, OK? Who had the most to gain from Epstein’s death... besides me who was on tape partying with him and young women? And who controls all federal prisons? The president—Bill Clinton.”

Do not wish to bring this up but----------things like this commonly occur in Putin's Russia, Erdogan's Turkey and Mohammad bin Salman's Saudi Theocracy.
Is the Trump invincible since he's already 'seated' one quarter of the judges on the circuit courts? Is the 'Roland Freisler' effect now an unremovable stain on America's judiciary?
Right, Trump is now Putin. TDDS. If Trump were Putin the media would never be able to question his involvement. They would all be killed off or imprisoned first and replaced with state run hacks.
Where the hell were you people when Clinton associates were dropping like flies when he was in office? Screaming, "Vast right wing conspiracy"
A lot of people had money, connections, and power that were associated with Epstein. They all had a lot to lose if he decided to sing for a less harsh sentence. Him being taken off of suicide watch needs to be thoroughly investigated.
On this,
We would agree.
Again, who installed Barr, the overseer of the penal system ?
Who is, unfortunately, potUS ?
Hint, it's not the Clintons
Hannity sucks cock by choice.
We can't fix the past but we can make sure the future reflects what is done in the present.
Trump is the STAIN on US All.
.
It wasn't Bill Clinton named as a co-defendant in a CHILD RAPE CASE with Epstein.
.
That would have been TRUMPP, you know, the guy who grabs pussy at will, "and they let you".
Who walked into dressing rooms at teen beauty pageants ?
Who's had a dozen women accuse him of rape, and or sexual harassment ?
.
We hear constant conspiracy theories about how the Clintons had multiple peoples killed.
How do the MOST investigated two people in the world, keep pulling all of this off ???
.
I don't care WHO they find was part of this sick ring of child sexual exploitation ! CONVICT and sentence any and all.
Dershowitz is mighty quiet these days...
If Clinton raped children, throw him in jail. ANY OF THEM !
Trump is the one that had the means to have Epstein erased, but until i see evidence, he gets the benefit of the doubt.
Again though, who was named as a Co-Defendant in a Child Rape Case along with Epstein again ???
TRUMPP
Bring any and all involved down, and burn it to the ground.
We all have our suspicions, and some are going to be right.
IMHO, one of the sickest crimes that could be committed, has been, and was kept secret and out of prolonged incarceration by powerful people,
let THEM ALL
BURN IN HELL!
Boy, now there's some hard hitting journalism there .....
It is a "comedian" commenting on Trump's retweet of what another "comedian" posted. What else is to be expected?
Unfortunately that is where a lot of people get their hard hitting news from.
Hard news for you is probably from Fox.
Colbert is FAR more 'Truth' oriented than Fox.
Comedians tend to be pretty damn intelligent, sorry we can't say the same about Trump.
if yA SayZ sO tHEn it mUSt Be TrOO

Still far better than fox news... I mean, fox entertainment.
Remember when late night talk show hosts were funny?
Good times
This is a good example of TDS. You're debunking a tweet.
No, not even a tweet. A retweet. A trolling tweet at that. And you're calling it a "theory" that needs debunking. That's a little deranged.
Perspective! Get some!
If Colbert speaks, does anyone but hardcore marxists hear him?
Colbert is the joke, not Trump
Sounds like a descriptor on Russian porn... "Hardcore Marxist! Full Marxist Penetration!"....
I guess if there's no way to convince you of how incredibly, hilariously wrong you are, all anyone can do is just laugh.

…if one exists, is not be found anywhere in your tired cut & paste.
The government we have isn't perfect, it needs a lot of fixing, not breaking, to get it to function the way it should. I would rather work to make it better than to constantly whine about not having your dreamed of impossible "every man for himself" pseudo-utopia. It would be complete anarchy and would set the world back a thousand years. While some might consider that a good thing, I do not.
The underage Russian porn stars who peed on Trump are Hardcore Marxists!
just Marxing
their territory
that's when he knew,
she peed the prostitute for him.
She also wore heavy
pants over the phone,
as Trump wet his
pants all a loan, as he could never pay
off what straight as gay,
Putin had to say with his weighted down
pants, that made Trumpp wetter than all of Melania's could of can'ts .
Only thing that got Trumpp hotter was A Greed or not,
when Putin peed on the weed that grows as hair up there, and
it just followed the strings right to that empty feret covered cranium, a void of a brain, and oh so DUMB and vane,
but Trumpp sure could HUM, insane,
producing a lot of Putin in his hair, Something about Mary hair gel,
comes to mind.
F
Trumpp could find
his
Breaking :::::::::::::::::::::::: Medical Examiners office in NY says the autopsy of Jeffery Epstein shows he died of suicide by hanging.
Now the tin foil hat crowd will wonder how the Clintons got to the ME.
Of course he did, all the other crap about the Clinton's is just donny trying to throw some red meat to those in his base stupid enough actually believe trumps BS.
So is all that crap about Trump engineering his death. Including the false narrative by Colbert.
Of course it still doesn't explain why Epstein was taken off of suicide watch. But I am sure another investigation will turn up a lot of nothing. It is what the US government is good at. Creating something out of nothing, or making something look like nothing. It just depends on the Establishment's bent at the moment.
So, liberals get their news from comedians?
No wonder the Democratic Party has become a joke.
