"Another witch has been hunted in collusion-palooza, Roger Stone,
one of the President's closest advisors and friends was arrested."
The weekend didn't get off to the best start for Donald Trump associate
Roger Stone as he was arrested and charged for lying about his association
with Russian-hacked emails which were detrimental to Hillary Clinton's
2016 election campaign. Of course, this meant that the week got off to a great
start for the late night hosts who piggybacked off of 'SNL's' cold open that featured
Steve Martin playing the doomed Stone.
"The whole experience was so harrowing, and afterwards I could only manage
one radio interview, and a speech from the steps of the courthouse,
and two appearances on television!"
Over Comedy Central's 'Daily Show,' host Trevor Noah joked that Stone looked how
Vice President Mike Pence would look after one drink.
He also gave a brief history of how Trump downplays his relationships with
various members of his administration - for example he said that Paul Manafort
was barely connected to the campaign.
"Or that George Papadopoulos was a 'coffee boy'
or Jared Kushner was just his 'cock blocker.'" He explained that the big question
in Mueller's investigation is whether or not Trump coordinated with WikiLeaks
to release Clinton's hacked emails.
"In his indictment, Mueller says that Roger Stone was directed to contact
WikiLeaks by someone in the Trump campaign. Now was that someone
Donald Trump? We don't know," Noah said.
"But if it wasn't Trump you would expect his people to come out and say so,
but instead they are avoiding the question like it's a friends poetry reading,"
Over on CBS's 'The Late Show' with Stephen Colbert the host decided to use a
parody of the long-running show 'Cops' to detail Stone's arrest.
"We're here to arrest Roger Stone. He's easy to spot
because he dresses like a Dick Tracy villain."
Colbert also joked that it wasn't actually Stone himself that was the desired
target of the FBI, but that his electronic devices were.
"They went after everything. His computers, his phones, the umbrella he uses to defeat Batman."
On NBC's 'Late Night,' host Seth Meyers joked, "Remember, Trump brags
that he only hires the best people, calls the Russia investigation a hoax,
calls CNN fake news and his government shutdown left FBI agents without pay."
"So it was especially ironic when one of Trump's closest associates was
arrested by unpaid FBI agents working for the special counsel in the Russia
investigation and the whole thing was caught on tape by CNN."
Meyers then made this observation:
"Imagine being such an a--hole that FBI agents will come into work
and arrest you for free."
Also on NBC, 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon, made fun of the fact
that Stone has a tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back.
"If you think that's bad, check out the tattoo Trump just got, he has Putin."
And finally over on ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!,' the host recounted the charges
leveled against Stone and noted that the White House press secretary -
whom he calls "Sarah Hucka-BS" - has denied that the charges against Stone
have anything to do with the president.
Like, really, REALLY denied that they do.
"This doesn't have anything to do with the President.
This has nothing to do with the President.
This has literally nothing to do with the President.
This has nothing to do with President Trump.
This has nothing to do with the President.
The charges brought against Mr. Stone have nothing to do with the President.
It has nothing to do with the President.
That has nothing to do with the President."
So, by simple logic…
"This has something to do with the president."
