nefarious

Bharara's witness got the chance to fly
defenestrated by the FSB
determined that he mustn't testify
to Putin's meddling in democracy
a vast collusion to give Trump the job
of bigly international extent
was executed by the Russian mob
lest Hillary might be our president
our grand republic's wounded, but not dead
here's "the abyss, from which there's not return"
so few Americans grasped what Church said
or--if they heard--yet failed withal to learn
unceasing vigilance must be the cost
if our democracy's not to be lost
