gotta love towards the end @ 10 minutes
Barr: "We specifically asked Mueller whether he would have found a criminal charge, but for the OLC precedent that presidents can't be charged, and Mueller made it explicitly clear the answer is no"
Colbert: "The report cites the OLC opinion and recognizes that the precedent exists"
Colbert: "Therefore Barr stood on up stage and told a bald-faced LIE, he's a FUCKING LIAR"

so real talk. Does someone like Stephen Colbert actually understand just how illogical and misrepresentative his bullshit is, and gets up and says it anyway- or does he exist in some kind of phase between ignorance and delusion where he can't recognize it
Barr didn't say that Mueller didn't agree with the OLC rule, he said that Mueller agreed with the OLC rule but that even if the rule didn't exist, he still wouldn't charge Trump. And Colbert says that Mueller agreeing with the OLC rule contradicts Barr's statements
its inane, its stupid, its the absolute state of a media that cannot grapple with the implosion of their narrative

Oh man. If you're surprised by Colbert you're going to lose it when you watch Tucker Carlson or Fox and Friends

Imagine going to the doctor for cancer screening and they walk into the office and say, "we did about 30 tests, sorry it took so long, but here is a 1 page summary of redacted information we found. we didn't find zero traces of cancer, but we didn't find a tumor. so you can rest easy, here's your copy."

That analogy might be appropriate if the Dems could give you cancer out of thin air. :)
