Second time as farce

Mike Cohen might take Use-Immunity
to testify to what he'd helped Trump do.
With neither candor nor acuity,
the "JohnDean" role's reprised by someone new.
Like magic waters of the river Styx,
he'll immunize himself against reproach.
The echoes of Dick Nixon's DirtyTricks
that had been tragic, this time play as jokes.
The precedent is rarely quite precise,
yet patterns of behavior do persist.
Another roll of history's grim dice,
Trump's "enemies" would overflow Dick's list.
Confronted with Trump's record of HighCrime,
we'll settle for mere Pence. And it's high time.
