“It is not given to everyone to have his private tasks of meditation and reflection so happily coincident with the public interest that it becomes difficult to judge how far he serves merely himself and how far the public good.” Immanuel Kant

honor among thieves

The Walsh investigation hit a wall;
no witness summoned would cooperate.
A dozen parrot "I cannot recall"
what Bush or Reagan'd done in ContraGate.
How different everything looks in Ukraine!
Omerta's not a value in Trump's tribe.
Ambassadors demur to take the blame;
what Trump'd solicited's a blatant bribe.
Between the Devil and the deep blue Sea
Zelensky tried his best to do what's right.
Is he complicit in Trump's felony?
He barely has a stake in this dogfight.
Our diplomats won't meekly take the hit
for Trumpty-Dumpty's partisan bullshit.
