RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: "So, what does this complex web of international intrigue and conspiracy mean? Let's break it down on the "Late Show" Figure-it-out-a-tron. Bring it out, fellas! Okay, here we go. Welcome to the figure-it-out-a-tron. We're going to figure out the connection from the U.S. To Russia over here, okay? Across the top, here, we've got four different Trump officials who have now admitted to meeting with Russian ambassadors during the campaign. Trump advisor Carter Page, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, then-campaign manager Paul Manafort, and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Down here, we have Don, Jr.'s Russian contact, Natalia Veselnitskaya. She's the Russian lawyer they met with, on a request from Russian popstar Min Agalarov, who worked with the Trump's on the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow, and whose father, Aras Agalarov, is a Russian oligarch who has close ties to Vladimir Putin. They're all connected, see? Now, in the middle of this whole conspiracy is Donald Trump, Jr., you might say he's the key to the whole story-- which I'll symbolize with this keyhole here. Okay. That's him. So Donald Trump Jr. gave us the dots. All we have to do is connect them to see where this is going. And, yeah, he's going to jail."
