EXCERPT:
COLBERT: “In 2015, when Trump was running for his first term, Wolff emailed Epstein saying, 'I hear CNN is planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you,' to which Epstein replied, 'If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?' That is never a good sign, when Jeffrey Epstein is trying to help you draft a response like some kind of perverted Clippy. 'Looks like you are trying to avoid questions about sex crimes. Would you like help? I can make it a newsletter!' Now, in the email response, Wolff suggested Epstein keep his bargaining chip with Trump, saying, 'If it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt.' Okay, that’s blackmail. And I would like to point out blackmail really only works when you’re blackmailing someone about something they did, that they don’t want anyone to know about. That’s why you never hear a mobster say, 'Hey, give me $1,000 or everyone will find out that you donate to Meals on Wheels.'"
