Kate McKinnon debuts pitch perfect Julian Assange impression on 'Saturday Night Live'

Saturday Night Live took us behind the scenes in its cold open tonight of a totally plausible meeting between Julian Assange and the Brothers Trump in the first installment of what we can only hope will be many, many more episodes of “The Mueller Files.”

Kate McKinnon debuted her expert Assange impression – reason enough to hope for more – replete with a suspicion-inducing pleather jacket and weird white-blonde haircut.

“It’s not white, it’s a platinum bob with a man’s front wisp.” Sorry, Julian.

Anyway, the meeting, which ostensibly took place between Assange and Donald Trump Jr. (Mikey Day) in the basement of the Ecuadorian embassy in London – where the real Assange has been holed up since 2012 avoiding extradition to Sweden to face sexual assault charges – was crashed by a delightfully inept Eric Trump (Alex Moffat), who did just about everything he could to blow the clandestine convention.

“My brother Eric is waiting in the car. Not to worry, I told him to honk the horn if he gets scared.”

Needless to say, the horn honked. For a while.

The correspondence between Trump Jr. and Assange might have actually gone down, as the Atlantic reported this week. It probably didn’t involve an adolescent baby man waving at cars and playing with spinny doodles while calling the founder of Wikileaks, “Draco Malfoy.”

But wouldn’t it have been better if it did?
