The investigation comes from "complaints". Probably the same 12 people who complained about Janet Jackson's nipple slip.

Depends on how you define the "line". Colbert said Trump would suck Putin. I suppose if someone considered that "Bad" they would think it was an insult to people to perform such acts on each other instead of a sign of love for each other.

See the line above.

Totally agree. If Colbert loses advertising and viewers that s the proper response...not government interference.

Colbert had him on and thought it would be funny to try and compare Trump's quotes to some things Colbert said while in character. Trump made him look foolish. Colbert's most likely still salty behind that:

I'll have to watch as I don't remember it, but of the two people involved do really think Colbert would be the one to remain salty about something versus the thin-skinned tweet machine?

Well, they were both outsiders.
