the spreading stain

OneIndividual is on the hook
although no papers deign to cite his name
Khuzami's citing chapter, verse, and book
and Cohen can't--alone--bear all the blame.
What Congress shirks, may find redress in court
as we learn each corrupt emolument.
The backlash to the Mueller team report
must resonate throughout our government.
'l'Etat, c'est moi!" the modern world rejects
in France, Nepal, and even in Iran.
The sword of Justice thirsts for tyrants' necks;
She's loyal to the Law, but to no man.
"No man's beyond the Law" I've heard it said,
not even presidents--until they're dead.
