FCC to investigate, 'take appropriate action' on Colberts Trump rant.

They can try but they will have to go though about 1000 lawyers. The FCC doesn't want that kind of publicity or they will be forced into going after other people. They are just trying to placate Dump.

The Republican chair of the FCC is fully behind this "investigation." AKA farce and fascism.

CBS better be all over defending Colbert.
