Earlier that day, the first son had inexplicably tweeted out his email exchange with a Kremlin-connected lawyer.

"What are you doing?" asked Colbert. "Does he even have a lawyer? Because you rarely see a cop show where the lawyer bursts into the interrogation room and shouts, 'Keep talking! In fact, tweet out everything you know!'"

...................................
"This is the first email," Colbert read. "'Subject: Russia—Clinton—private and confidential.' We are five words in, and four of them are "Russia, Clinton, private, confidential.' The only one that's innocent is 'and.'"

"I would like to issue a formal apology," concluded Colbert. "I'd like to apologize to Eric Trump. We always thought you were the dumb one, and we were wrong."
