RUSH EXCERPT:
COLBERT: “And today, the president also pardoned Saudi Arabia. See, the C.I.A. Is preparing a report that is expected to tie the brutal murder of journalist Jamal khashoggi to Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, but the president got out in front of the C.I.A. Today and released a statement on khashoggi's killing. It starts out with a calm, reassuring message: "The world is a very dangerous place!" It is now! Apparently, you can kill a "Washington Post" journalist and the president don't give a damn, because trump's official presidential decision on who is resolute... "I dunno." He wrote, "Our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event. Maybe he did, and maybe he didn't!" Did Donald Trump just knowingly provide cover for a murderous autocrat? Maybe he did, and maybe he didn't. Maybe he did. That's written-- someone wrote that down. Someone actually typed that-- "Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't." That statement informs us in no way. A magic eight ball would have taken a firmer stance.”
