Stephen Colbert unravels Trump's ties to Putin with his handy dandy 'Figure-It-Out-A-Tron'

Stephen Colbert is very determined to help us figure this whole Russia-Trump thing out.

On The Late Show, he brought out his technologically advanced "Figure-It-Out-A-Tron" AKA his chalkboard to untangle the twisted web that possibly connects Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin and Russia. After explaining the connection between Russia and Jeff Sessions, the FBI, the CIA and so on, Colbert marked each one with a "P" (for Putin, of course).

By the end of his investigation, all the P's, shall we say, rained down upon President Trump and, as Colbert phrased it, he was "drowning in P."

We can't say that this diagram washed away any of our worries, but we appreciate the help.
