The Blame and Frame Game

Republican leaders are desperate to find

Any evidence that might encroach

On Clinton's chances to win the presidency

With their charge-her-for-anything approach.

 

When they discovered her e-mail use

Was something they couldn't criminalize,

They said, "Aha! We'll catch her for perjury.

Let's see. What can we devise?"

 

Taking statements from the FBI

And Hillary Clinton's testimony,

They've slyly manipulated the words

And come up with a bunch of baloney.

 

How many servers did she have?

Were e-mails really classified?

Did her attorneys review ALL

Her messages? And what did they hide?

 

The if's and what's and where's and when's

Are being distorted in efforts to blame her.

Statements are being twisted so they

Can make bogus charges to frame her.

 

Trump, who displays trouble with the truth

And who has rallied his people with ease

With accusations and innuendoes

That spread like a contagious disease,

 

Has disseminated the lie

That Hillary Clinton is seriously ill

And not fit for the presidency,

While his numbers slide downhill.

 

Donald Trump of all people

Declares Hillary Clinton unfit!

When he…no, don't get me started

On that disgusting hypocrite!

 

Politics is a nasty business

When people are easily manipulated

And wisdom and truth and honor and decency

Sadly become overrated.
