Stephen Colbert: Why Guest Preet Bharara Didn't Return Donald Trump's Call

be playing the same cons he had always run in New York and New Jersey, but this time he was now in the big leagues. He knew what a nutcase was stepping into the WH. He wouldn't play.

The same inflection at the end of a sentence, as if he's asking a question. A soft spoken tone, in a fast broken cadence. It's very distinctive.

Their voices seem at odds with the speakers, too, because their voices are higher pitched than their large bodies (both are big men) would indicate.

I've listened to Preet's podcast a few times. Good show.
