Damned

The Ghost of Christmas Future woke Bill Barr
to teach abuse of office has a cost.
A zealous advocate can go too far

in representing such a crooked boss.

If Hunter's been evasive on his tax,
The IRS will find him in due course.
Not innuendo, but established facts
established by a court, wield proper force.
A second tenure at the DoJ

where once, he'd sheltered shipments to Iran
defaults to scandal at a later day
the constant lawyer, to a different man.

Too late to save his name, Bill Barr's now quit
smeared for posterity in all Trump's shit.

discretion

Joe Biden's disinclined to prosecute
what Trumpty Dumpty and his minions wrought.
That laws were violated's, past dispute.
But any retribution would be fraught.
Zimbabwe let Mugabe go scot-free,
and paid a handsome pension to get lost.
At least, they capped his years of thievery;
no budget's meaningful with unknown costs.

But Barr attacks tripartite government,

denying Congress and the Courts their say;

he'd give all power to the President
and execute those who'd get in his way.
Sue Collin thought Trump'd learned his lesson once
but it takes more than words to school this dunce.

Change is gonna come

Mitt Romney's joined the protests in the street
while Trumpty-Dumpty cowers in his hole.
He ego won't acknowledge the defeat,
but even Fox concedes, Trump's lost control.
Bill Barr has raised an army of his own;
(I'd call them "brownshirts", but they're salaried).
Praetorians to prop a stolen throne
to which he'll shortly learn, he's lost the deed.
The People cry for change, but get old Joe,
whose handlers blanch each time he gets a mic.
At best, he'll try reform, but much too slow;
at worst he'll bleat whatever donors like.
Americans for CHANGE still seethe, and wait
for what we called for in 2008.

High Crimes and Misdemeanors II

Bob Mueller's far too prudent to defy
internal guidelines of the DoJ.
But call him up! He'll gladly testify:
what Trump has perpetrated's not okay.
The SpecialCounsel still inspires some awe,
and even Donald understood he's "fucked".
Of all the ways he violates the law,
the unifying theme's been to obstruct.
McConnell plays defense, while Barr attacks;
each rationalization's more absurd.
Joined at the hip in guarding Donald's back,
 their oaths of office were just empty words.
The factions that so worried Madison
close ranks regardless what "their" felon's done.
