duplicitous

The scandal Gordon Sondland has described
sets diplomats in conflict on two tracks.
While some extorted allies, seeking bribes
the others blandly claimed to have their backs.
Yet neither could be said to have gone rogue;
each executing what their boss had said.
Confusion over what's the quid pro quo
is wholly inside Trumpty's addled head.
Two sets of books--just like he keeps for tax!
One cover story, one recording crime.
Compulsive liar's "alternative facts"
collide with real reality, real-time.
'Though Trump--predictably--will throw a fit
Fiona Hill's not taking any shit.
