To recap: The president's son is in trouble for meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer during the campaign to receive potentially incriminating information concerning Hillary Clinton, a rendezvous that was set up by Harambe-defending music publicist Rob Goldstone, who, in addition to wearing "silly hats," happens to represent an Azerbaijani pop star named Emin Agalarov.

Believe it or not, this is where things get interesting.
