This week&#8217;s revelation was just another nothing-burger deluxe with a side of lies. Late Show host, Seth Meyers does a phenomenal job explaining this &#8216;scandal&#8217;, or as he says, &#8216;the story that just won&#8217;t die.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s face it, they&#8217;ve got nothing new.
